Previous Totoroku ReleasesI have reread all of the Press Releases relating to Totoroku, I am very excited, and am looking for the day we go back with a competent drill crew. It's good to reread all of them,

Vancouver, July 30, 2007; Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSX-GIT) is pleased to report that on-going exploration at the Company’s TotoRoko Property continues to return highly encouraging results. Highlights include:
- New zones of copper, gold and silver mineralization found;
- Cantaña, a cross-cutting silver-gold structure, returning up to 1,230 g/t silver and 3.26 g/t gold;
- Lomas Orjo, a further extension of the zone of outcropping secondary copper mineralization to the southeast;
- Multiple parallel zones of alteration, mineralization and brecciation found, target width increases.
Mineralization at TotoRoko spatially associated with igneous intrusive rocks that occur along major faults related to the continent-scale Incapuquio (Peru) – West Fissure (Chile) fault. A 4,500-metre long, northwest-striking panel of strongly magnetic, metasomatized and altered Jurassic-age Guaneros Formation and younger intrusive rocks is host to stockwork and disseminated copper-silver-gold mineralization (oxidized after primary sulphide minerals).These panels are also cut obliquely by narrower silicified and barite-rich vein-like structures mineralized with gold and silver (Cantaña). The relationship between the two differing styles of mineralization is not certain. However it is possible that they are both related to a highly evolved, concealed porphyry system at depth.
Exploration is focusing upon the south-eastern 2,200 metres of this mineralized panel where mineralization and alteration is strongest. Here, two areas of copper-bearing basaltic andesite flows, andesitic tuffs and breccias, and diorite intrusive rocks are being mapped and sampled. In this area, Cerro TotoRoko marks a 1,300-metre long by 200-metre wide zone in the northwest, and Lomas Orjo marks a 700-metre long by 400-metre wide zone to the southeast. Both zones show signs of strong shearing, argillic alteration, brecciation and strong fracturing.
