16 g/t Gold over 0.39 metres in drill core from Brett Gold Property,
Vernon BC Canada
Vancouver, B.C. - (April 25 , 2017 – TSX-V: XIM) Ximen Mining Corp. (the “Company” or
“Ximen”) is pleased to announce analytical results for drill core samples collected recently from
hole 2016-21, drilled on the Comp any’s Brett Epithermal Gold -Silver Property, located 30
kilometres west of Vernon, BC. This drill hole was part of an HQ diamond drilling program
consisting of 16 holes totaling 2364 metres completed during July - September, 2016 on the Brett
Property. Drill hole 2016-21, testing the northern region of the Main Zone, intersected gold and
silver bearing intervals . Drill h ole coordinates and i nitial core sample analytical results w ere
reported by the Company in the November 21, 2016 News Release.
Ximen recently completed additional sampling and some re -sampling of drill core from the 2016
program. Core sample analytical results for the recent sampling were reported by the Company
in March 9, March 20 and April 3 News Releases, the highlight being a 0.30 me tre core length
sample from drill hole 2016-1 returning 112 g/t (ppm) gold and 263 g/t silver consisting of
quartz veining (plus or minus carbonate) and silicification . The true thickness of this intersection
is unknown. Hole 2016-1 was drilled at the Main Zone in the area of the adit.
The Company has received analytical results for hole 2016-21 core samples , which tested the
northern area of the northwest striking Main Zone. This hole was drilled at a n 80 degree dip to
the northeast (60 degree azimuth) for a total length of 1 91.24 meters, being collared
approximately 485 meters northwest of hole 2016-1. Initial drill core sample results for hole
2016-21 included 2.38 g/t Au and 5.5 g/t Ag over 1 metre core length at 83.0 - 84.0 metres (true
width is unknown) . The more significant results (at a 1.0 gram cutoff value for gold) of th e
recent sampling of hole 2016-21 drill core include the following (length is core length):
• 63.60 - 63.94 metres (0.34m): 3.61 g/t Au and 133 g/t Ag
• 190.85 - 191.24 metres (0.39m): 16 g/t Au and 18.1 g/t Ag

The true thickness of each of the preceding mineralized intervals is unknown.
The interval at 63.60 - 63.94 metres is a quartz -flooded and silicified zone with pyrite. The
interval at 190.85 - 191.24 metres is a tuffaceous unit with quartz-carbonate veinlets and pyrite.
Drill Hole 2016-21: 190.85 - 191.24m (to end of hole): 16 g/t Au and 18.1 g/t Ag
Christopher R. Anderson of Ximen Mining Corp. stated “we are excited regarding hole 2016-21
results. The hole, in the northern part of the Main Zone , intersected three gold bearing intervals
of which high grade gold was intersected at the bottom of the hole. It is unclear of the extent of
the lower gold bearing interval due to the final sample extending to the bottom of the hole. This
part of the main zone will be one priority area during the next drill program.”
The core samples were cut with half core samples submitted for analysis. In minor cases where
core was re -sampled, the existin g half core was quartered with quarter core samples submitted
for analysis. At ALS Minerals, the samples were crushed to 90% less than 2 millimeters; riffle
split off 1 kilogram; and split portion pulverized to better than 95% passing 106 microns. The
pulverized portions were analyzed for gold by Fire Assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma -
Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP -AES) and for 33 elements (including silver) by four -acid
3
and ICP-AES. The sample at 190.85 - 191.24 metres was also analyzed for gold by Fire Assay
and Gravimetric Finish.
