(the \"Corporation\" or \"Kintavar\") (TSX VENTURE:KTR), is pleased to announce the first results from the summer 2017 exploration campaign. The work completed during the campaign, including the follow up of the copper showings in the Eastern portion of the Mitchi property, helped identify a sediment-hosted stratiform copper-silver-manganese mineralization within a siliceous dolomite unit. This helped establish a connection between the various showings such as Watson/Sherlock, Nasigon and Hispana. The mineralized horizons were folded and metamorphosed creating sub-kilometric areas of thickening. Such thickening is well documented to generate open pit mines in the Grenville geological province, such as the iron ore mines in the south of Labrador and Québec and the Lac des Iles graphite mine, located in the Mont-Laurier region, only 120 km to the south of the Mitchi property. In the western portion of the property, polymetallic mineralization with copper-silver ± gold, nickel, cobalt, tungsten and locally rare earth elements was identified. Mineralization is associated with magmatic lithologies and locally with potassic alteration. Mitchi Property - Eastern Sector - Watson and Sherlock Showings - Cu, Ag, Mn Surface work on the Watson showing exposed a sequence of marbles, phlogopitic glimerites and diopsidite with bornite, covelite, malachite and trace of chalcopyrite mineralization. The lithologies appear to have been folded, creating a thickening of the mineralized horizons, while their true width still remains unknown. A continuous composite channel sample of 13.6m returned grades of 0.54% Cu, 5.29 g/t Ag and 0.57% Mn (0.76% CuEq*) and a second channel sample 8m to the west gave 0.61% Cu, 6.02 g/t Ag and 0.53% Mn (0.83% CuEq*) over 3 m. Both channel samples remain open in all directions. At a distance of 540m to the East of Watson, the identificat...
