VANCOUVER, April 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSXV-GIT) provides the following corporate update.
In 2013 Gitennes continued to review jurisdictions in which to acquire gold exploration properties. The review resulted in a focus on West Africa and in late 2013 Gitennes sent geologists to Ghana to evaluate properties and meet with property vendors and government officials.
Ghana is the second largest gold producer in Africa and is a highly ranked mining jurisdiction. Over the past decade several multi-million ounce gold discoveries have been made, some of which occur outside the traditional gold producing geological belts highlighting the prospectivity of the country.
Gitennes is considering properties in the known gold producing areas as well as in the new geological environs and is confident its recent work in Ghana will result in the acquisition of one or more properties either by option or by staking. The Company continues discussions with several parties.
The Company's review and due diligence of mineral properties is supported by the payment stream from the Urumalqui transaction with AndeanGold Ltd. Gitennes recently received $200,000 from AndeanGold under the terms of the Urumalqui Share Sale and Mining Agreement. The remaining payments due to Gitennes from AndeanGold total $1.85 million and 1.1 million AndeanGold common shares and will be paid to Gitennes over the next 15 months. The next payment is $350,000 and is due June 17, 2014.
AndeanGold which is the operator of the Urumalqui Project in Peru has the right to earn a 100% interest in the Project by means of two agreements; an option signed on April 21, 2010 to earn a 60% interest and a second option to acquire the additional 40% by means of a Share Sale and Mining Agreement.
