A total of 36.4 square kilometers were flown, with LIDAR and orthophoto data collected with a
Phoenix Ranger Lidar scanner via a manned helicopter. The LIDAR survey was flown over the
northern part of Ximen’s Nelson property and covered the Kenville, Star , Venus - Juno, and
California properties. These properties cover historic gold mines with production listed in the
table below.

At the Kenville gold mine, Ximen is in the permitting stage for underground development. Drilling
on the property between 2008 and 2012 identified several new gold-bearing veins in widely spaced
drill holes. Detailed drilling is required to adequately define the veins and grade continuity. Given
the depth from surface, in-fill drilling is best done from underground mine workings. New
underground development is therefore being permitted that will access the new vein extensions.
The Venus-Juno mine is being permitted for surface drilling by Ximen to test for vein extensions.
A grab sample of mineralized quartz collected on the property by Ximen in 2020 contained 9.04
grams per tonne gold, 72.8 grams per tonne silver and 1.27% copper (news release dated February
12, 2021).
.
The California mine has been permitted by Ximen for surface drilling. The drilling is designed
to test an area of the California vein above the historic mine level No. 3 where historic sampling
indicates the vein averages 25.57 grams per tonne gold over a length of 91 meters with vein
widths of 0.9 to 1.5 meters (BC Mines Annual Report for 1919). There are five additional gold-
bearing veins in the area, including the Deadwood, Union, Creek, Cabin and the Exchequer
veins. Outcrop of the California vein was sampled in 2020 and found to contain 8.4 grams per
tonne gold (news release dated March 09, 2021).
The Eureka and Star mines occur in a broad area of vein -hosted and disseminated gold -copper
mineralization. Numerous geological, geochemical, and geophysical surveys were completed in
this area that identified several exploration targets . A total of 94 diamond drill and reverse
circulation holes (15,741 metres) were drilled between 1933 and 2011 that resulted in significant
gold-copper intercepts, indicating potential for a bulk -mineable deposit. Ximen has applied for a
permit to do surface drilling and is actively exploring this area with geoche mical surveys and a

modern Induced Polarization/Resistivity geophysical survey. An exploration camp is also being
prepared for use during the next drill season. The 2022 LIDAR survey results will be used to
provide a detailed topographic base and to help identify fault structures.

Analyses referred to 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 ass ay 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.
