Gitennes Exploration - Update on TotoRoko drilling

About this update from Rev Exploration Corp.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Nov. 13 /CNW/ - Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSX-GIT) is pleased\nto advise that drilling is getting underway at the TotoRoko Property. This\ndrill programme, the first on the property, will comprise up to 1,500 metres\nof core drilling and is expected to be completed by the middle of December.\n\n\nTotoRoko is a new copper prospect situated in southern Peru. Copper\nmineralization at TotoRoko is hosted within massive Jurassic-aged tuffs that\nhave been extensively altered by later hydrothermal activity. Copper minerals\noccurs as disseminated and fracture-controlled zones of mineralization, often\nassociated with zones of strongly developed replacement feldspar with lesser\namounts of magnetite, epidote and garnet. A 4,500 metre-long target area is\nrecognized, however initial drilling will be centred on a 1,300 metre long\narea at Cerro TotoRoko that is distinguished by abundant mineralization,\nstrong alteration and a well defined induced polarization geophysical anomaly.\nHere secondary copper minerals, formed during weathering, include chrysocola,\nmalachite and azurite that appear to have formed from the primary copper\nsulphide minerals bornite and chalcopyrite. The southeastern edge of the\ngeophysical anomaly is marked by a sharp break that closely matches the\nnorth-striking Cantana target, a cross-cutting, 1,000 metre-long zone of\nbrecciation, fracturing, and clay alteration. This 2.0 to 10.0 metre-wide\ntarget contains silver and gold-bearing zones of secondary iron oxide minerals\nand variably silicified breccia. Chip sample results (previously released)\nrange from 177 to 1,230 g/t silver and up to 1.7 g/t gold across sample widths\nof two to three metres. Several drill holes are planned to test this zone.\n\n\nOn-going mapping, rock-chip sampling and prospecting continues to both\nexpand and fill-in the zones of copper mineralization at TotoRoko. A new but\nrelated area of mineralization has been found along an altered and mineralized\nstructure that extends at least 500 metres southeast of Cerro TotoRoko. Rock\nchip samples recently taken from this new zone yielded 2.0 metres of 0.78% Cu\nand 34 g/t Ag and 2.6 metres of 0.64% Cu.\n\n\nTotoRoko is a 5,000-hectare property located in the dry coastal mountains\nof southwest Peru. The property is accessible by truck, and is located in a\nsparsely se...
