Ximen (XIM) has begun its 2022 exploration programs, starting with its Nelson Project in B.C.
Initial work includes further sampling and metallurgical testing.
Last year’s sampling programs yielded as follows:
The Wilcox tailings geochemical sampling program (128 samples) outlined a gold-bearing tailings deposit roughly 500 m x 100 m covering an estimated 67,000 sq. m. The arithmetic average gold grade is 2.39 g/t gold.
Rock sampling at the Protection Dump averaged 9.5 g/t gold, 47.5 g/t silver, 1.13 per cent lead and 1.37 per cent zinc.
Soil sampling south from the Kenville Mine reached up to 0.487 ppm gold, 7.97 ppm silver and 2,590 ppm copper. Gold anomalies occur near the Kenville property boundary and around the Jackpot occurrence property. Sampling also encountered three silver anomalies, each 400 m x 200 m and a copper anomaly measuring 400 m x 400 m.
The company plans to drill the California gold mine later in the season.
Ximen Mining controls four gold and silver projects in B.C.
Ximen (XIM) is unchanged, trading at $0.125 per share as of 9:45 am EST.
