The highest precious metal values were obtained from a sample of the Ymir-Protection mine
dump (13.1 grams per tonne gold and 145 grams per tonne silver). This historic mine was
operated intermittently between 1899 and 1973 and produced 10,719 ounces of gold, 82,824
ounces of silver and significant lead and zinc from 14,788 tonnes mined. The deposit consists of
shear-hosted quartz veins mineralized with gold, pyrite, galena and sphalerite.
Two samples containing high gold values were collected from the California mine (8.4 and 3.8
grams per tonne gold). This historic mine operated intermittently between 1910 and 1947 and
produced 2,258 ounces of gold, 3,942 ounces of silver and significant lead and zinc from 1,454
tonnes mined. Mineralization consists of multiple quartz veins containing free gold, pyrite,
galena and sphalerite. At the west end of the No. 3 level, a potential tonnage was identified in a
block measuring 91 metres long and 1.1 to 1.5 metres in width, with an average grade reported
from historic samples as 29.0 grams per tonne gold (BC Assessment report 11027).

The Good Hope historic mine was developed as early as 1911 and produced 90 ounces of gold
and 80 ounces of silver from 48 tonnes reported mined. Mineralization consists of bands and
lenses of quartz that locally contain pyrite and chalcopyrite with free gold in oxidized portions of
the mineralized zones.

Ximen is now submitting applications for exploration permits for the California and other areas
surrounding the Kenville mine property. At the Kenville mine project, Ximen expects that
permitting of new underground mine development will be finalized this spring.
Analyses disclosed in this release were conducted by ALS Global – Geochemistry Analytical Lab
in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. ALS is an independent, fully accredited commercial
laboratory. Gold was determined by the fire assay method using a 50 -gram sample weight and
ICP finish, with over -limits checked using a 50 -gram sample weight and gravimetric finish .
Other metals were analyzed as part of a 48-element package using a four -acid digestion and
determination by ICP-MS. Over-limits for silver were determined by the fire assay method using
a 50 -gram sample weight and ICP finish, and over limits for silver, lead, zinc and copper by
specific four-acid digestions with ICP-AES finish for high grade materials.
Readers are cautioned that historical information including the assay and production results
referred to in this News Release have been examined but not verified by a Qualified Person.
Further work is required to verify that historical records referred to in this News Release are
accurate.
