Ximen Mining Corp (OTC: XXMMF) reports intersecting visible gold in hole B24-07 at its Brett epithermal gold project near Vernon, BC. The hole, drilled to test the West Zone alteration, encountered hydrothermally altered rocks with visible gold at 87.25m within a colloform-banded silica-pyrite veinlet containing multiple gold grains. The drilling revealed that the West Zone is a major gold-bearing zone with clay altered faults and significant porphyry presence. The Brett project covers 20,043 hectares of epithermal-style gold mineralization, with a historical bulk sample averaging 27.74 g/t gold and 63.7 g/t silver.

Ximen Mining Corp (OTC: XXMMF) riporta l'intersezione di oro visibile nel foro B24-07 presso il suo progetto di oro epithermale di Brett vicino a Vernon, BC. Il foro, perforato per testare l'alterazione della Zona Ovest, ha incontrato rocce alterate idrotermalmente con oro visibile a 87,25 m all'interno di un veneletto di silice-pirite a bande colloformi contenente molteplici grani d'oro. La perforazione ha rivelato che la Zona Ovest è una importante zona aurifera con faglie alterate da argilla e una significativa presenza di porfido. Il progetto di Brett copre 20.043 ettari di mineralizzazione aurifera in stile epithermale, con un campione storico di massa che presenta una media di 27,74 g/t di oro e 63,7 g/t di argento.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2024) - Ximen Mining Corp. (TSXV: XIM) (FSE: 1XM) (OTC: XXMMF) (the "Company" or "Ximen") announces it intersected visible gold in hole 7 of its drill program at the Brett epithermal gold project near Vernon in southern BC.

Hole B24-07 was drilled from the same collar location as the preceding holes 5 and 6 but was drilled to the southwest to test the extent of the West Zone alteration zone (see Figure 1).

Hole B24-07 intersected hydrothermally altered massive and brecciated basaltic volcanic (48%) and feldspar porphyry intrusive rocks (52%). From 3.0 to 9.32 m a section of oxidized and argillic altered volcanic rocks with abundant iron oxides was intersected. This was followed by hydrothermally altered volcanic and intrusive rocks with pervasive silicification and intervals of clay-rich (illite/smectite and kaolinite) alteration associated with faults, extending from 19.86 to the end of the hole at 214 m. Dark grey, silica-pyrite forms veinlets and breccia matrix in the altered rocks. Mineralization is dominated by disseminated pyrite that ranges visually from 3 to 10%, and sections of quartz and pyrite veinlets including the intervals 19.86 to 32.87 (13.01 m) and 85.80 to 88.08 m (2.28 m). This last interval contains visible gold at 87.25 m within a colloform-banded silica-pyrite veinlet that contains multiple (20 +) grains of gold (see pictures).

Hole 7 demonstrates for the first time that the West Zone is a major gold-bearing zone associated with clay altered faults and a significant amount of porphyry. This zone was largely un-tested before but is now a prime target for further exploration.

The initial oxidized zone intersected in hole B24-07 correlates with weathered and argillic altered volcanic rocks in the top of holes 5 and 6. The underlying wide zone of intense hydrothermal alteration and silica-pyrite veining characterizes the West Zone. Hole 8 will be drilled from the same collar location as Hole 7 but directed northwesterly to further test the extent of the West Zone north of hole 7.

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.
