VANCOUVER, May 30 /CNW/ - Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSX-GIT) is pleased
to provide an update of its surface chip sampling programme on the recently
discovered Ushcumachay zinc-silver target located within the Company's
Tucumachay project in central Peru.
As reported by the Company on March 1, 2006, Ushcumachay is one of a
series of zinc targets on the eastern limb of the Saturno anticline, which
include the Alpha, Delta and Korimachay targets. Ushcumachay is the
southernmost of these targets and is located approximately 2 km north of the
La Guapita gold zone.
Mineralization in the Ushcumachay zone occurs in limestones, dolomitized
limestones and limestone breccias of the uppermost Condorsinga Formation. This
stratigraphic horizon is the same that hosts the Alpha, Delta and Korimachay
zinc targets. Zinc mineralization is found at numerous locations along a
strike length of over 2,000 metres in this favourable horizon. The zone is
open to the south and down-dip under cover rocks. Zinc occurs as smithsonite
and hydrozincite along fractures, as semi-massive lenses of barite-sphalerite
rock, in calcite-barite veins, and as disseminated sphalerite in dolomite. The
thickness of the prospective horizon is thought to be at least 30 metres. The
sequence is folded into a series of synclines and anticlines and is cut by
steep normal faults.
Sampling has focused on two zones of strong fracturing, brecciation and
replacement mineralization, referred to as Ushcumachay Norte and Ushcumachay
Sur. Results are detailed below:
