Ximen Mining Corp (TSXV: XIM) has completed the fifth hole (B24-05) of its drilling program at the Brett epithermal gold project near Vernon, BC. The hole was drilled at 45 degrees inclination to test the Border Zone and an area 40 meters southeast of a previous 16.7 g/t Au intercept. B24-05 intersected multiple altered and mineralized zones, including several clay-pyrite mineralized zones with pyrite content ranging between 2-10%. The Brett project covers 20,043 hectares of epithermal-style gold mineralization, with a historical bulk sample that averaged 27.74 g/t gold and 63.7 g/t silver.

Hole B24-05 was drilled at 45 degrees inclination to the northeast to test the Border Zone, an alteration zone situated west of the Main Zone, and to test 40 meters southeast of an intercept of 16.7 g/t Au from hole 14-13 between 176.0 and 177.5 meters. (see Figure 1).

B24-05 intersected multiple altered and mineralized zones and three porphyry dikes. The first 15 meters consisted of weathered and argillic altered volcanic rock. From 18.0-24.63 a sulphide zone was intersected that consists of pyrite veinlets and / or replacement of volcanic breccia matrix, with fine quartz veinlets. Total sulphide content for the interval is 5-10%. Five clay-pyrite mineralized zones were intersected at 31.27-34.30 (3.03m), 51.15-60.42 (9.27m), 149.60-150.76 (1.16m), 216.38-219.49 (3.11m), 231.07-232.81 (1.74m). Pyrite content in these zones ranges between 2 and 10%. The volcanic rocks are silicified adjacent to and between the zones at 213.2 and 231.07 meters with up to 1% disseminated pyrite. A quartz vein breccia was intersected between 154.0 and 154.2 meters that contains 1-3% pyrite. Porphyry dikes were intersected at 86.23-92.60, 232.81-238.79 and 252.28-258.65 meters. The dike at 232.81 meters is moderately clay and silica altered.

The initial sulphide zone intersected in hole B24-05 and the altered intervals at 31.27 and 51.15 meters correlate with the West Zone. The Border zone, which contains the 16.7 g/t intercept in hole 14-13, correlates with the alteration at 149.60-150.6m or possibly the quartz breccia at 154.0m. The Main Zone correlates with the alteration intersected at 216.38 and possibly the zone at 231.07m. The porphyry dike intersected at 232.81 correlates with the dike associated with the Main Zone.

The Brett project (20,043 hectares) covers low-sulfidation epithermal-style gold mineralization hosted in Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks. Epithermal-style gold mineralization was discovered in 1983, and a 291 tonne surface bulk sample was shipped to the smelter at Trail, BC in the 1990's that averaged 27.74 grams per tonne gold and 63.7 grams per tonne silver (Brett 2017 NI 43-101 report). Multiple zones of mineralization occur over a two kilometer strike, including both bulk-mineable and bonanza high grade styles. Ximen conducted LiDAR and airborne magnetic surveys over parts of the Brett property in 2022. Interpretation, 3D modeling, and target refinement were then completed in preparation for the 2024 drilling program.

The overall objective of the drill program is to extend the Main Zone to the southeast and at depth, and to test altered zones that border and parallel the Main Zone.
