("Gitennes" or the "Company") - (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXF) announces that it has raised gross proceeds of $556,000 under terms of a non-brokered private placement announced July 29. The majority of the net proceeds will be used to primarily finance a Phase III diamond drill programme on the Snowbird High Grade Gold Project. It is anticipated that crews will mobilized to the Project over the next few weeks. The Company issued a total of 15,896,000 units at 3.5 cents per unit consisting of 5.29 million non-flow through units for gross proceeds of $185,000 and 10.6 million flow-through units for gross proceeds of $371,000.

About the Snowbird High Grade Gold Project

The Company has completed two diamond drill programmes on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project located near Fort St. James, British Columbia. The planned Phase III drilling programme will focus on the Main Zone and will test the continuity of the mineralization at depth with drilling significantly deeper than all previous drilling with planned hole lengths averaging up to approximately 200 metres. The Snowbird Project's logistics allows for drilling year-round and cost efficient drilling which over the last two diamond drilling programmes averaged approximately C$175/metre all-in.

Main Zone Highlights - Snowbird Gold Project

The Main Zone is the focus for the planned Phase III drilling. The zone has consistently delivered high grade results either through historical adit and trench sampling; diamond drilling in the early and late-1980's or by Gitennes' two diamond drilling programmes (see tables below).

Table 1 - Historical Adit and Trench Sampling

1. (1)Readers are cautioned that a "qualified person" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical information, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.

1. (1)Except for holes SB17-04 and SB18-06 readers are cautioned that a "qualified person" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical information, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.

Based on Gitennes' work and a review of historical information, high-grade gold occurs within and adjacent to the 25 to 150 metre wide silica-carbonate altered ultramafic unit in areas of high deformation (faulting/shearing) and is associated with key pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony. Gold in quartz veins is predominantly hosted within 10 metres of the footwall contact between the overlying mudstone altered ultramafic.

Gitennes' review of historic drilling in combination with contemporary drilling from the Phase I and II programme suggests that the down dip extension of the Main Zone mineralization may steepen at depth. Phase III drilling will test the Main Zone at depth as almost all historical drilling has been to an average vertical depth of only about 75 metres.
