Ximen’s option partner is kicking off its 2019 exploration program with drilling on the C.O.D vein

(C.O.D stands for “Continuation of Dentonia”; the Dentonia is another gold-quartz vein in the camp

that was historically mined). The C.O.D vein was first targeted in 2017. Initia l sampling of the

vein justified follow -up trenching and drilling. In 2018, the drilling program followed on a nd

included a series of holes drilled to the south of the C.O.D trench that successfully extended the

vein for a total length of nearly 400 meters and intersected high grade mineralization. The assay

results (please refer to the Company’s website for News Releases announcing these results) include

the following highlights:

COD18-70 6.9 107.5 880 640

For 2019, the drilling will be initially aimed at extending and in-filling the ore shoot of high-grade

gold-silver-tellurium mineralization that was intersected in 2018. Following this, the Everest vein

to the south, and the C.O.D. extension to the north will be drill-tested.

The highlights of the 2018 diamond drilling program are drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 that

intersected near -surface, high -grade gold, silver and tellurium in the southern extension of the

C.O.D vein. COD18-67 intersected 1 29 grams pe r tonne ( g/t) gold, 1154 g/t silver & 823 g/t

tellurium over 7.28-meter core length while COD18-70 intersected 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver &

640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length (News Releases of January 11, January 18 and March

18, 2019). The C.O.D. vein system is open along strike and at depth.

No previous diamond drilling has been completed at the C.O.D. extension to the north . The 2018

trenching program exposed numerous vein showings with g rab samples up to 15.45 g/t gold, 159

g/t silver Ag and 114.5 g/t tellurium. A c hip sample (0.4 meters long ) returned 21.7 g/t gold, 216

g/t silver and 149 g/t tellurium (News Release of February 27, 2019).

Furthermore the company wishes to announce the addition of Mr Lloyd Penner to the team, whom

will be focusing on assisting the company with its future plans and aspirations towards developing

its mining activities on its various assets.

Mr. Penner brings many years of experience and knowledge to the Company, as a large part of his 30 plus-

year career has been spent in the exploration, development, and mining of western Canadian gold deposits,

from the coastal mountains of British Columbia to the gold camps of northern Canada and as far as west

Africa. His well-rounded skill set includes planning, project organization, surface infrastructure setup, and

conventional underground mining. His mining career began developing the high grade, narrow veins of the

Bridge River Valley of British Columbia in 1986. Notable projects to-date include the position of mine

manager of the QR Mine in the British Columbia interior – a 1,000- tonne per day cyanide operation with

multiple underground and open pit mines operating. Other projects include late stage exploration

properties such as Selkirk Metals’ Ruddock Creek property, Imperial Metals’ Red Chris property, and

Avion Gold’s production gold mine in Mali. His background includes more than eight years of

management in development, exploration, and production in both Africa and British Columbia. Mr. Penner

also has experience working in custom test mining and exploration management of a narrow vein gold

project in British Columbia. He is familiar with current mining, government agencies, and environmental

regulations in British Columbia, and holds current UG certifications. Mr. Penner’s knowledge and

experience with the Kenville Gold Mine (having spent several years assessing it) and with other high grade

vein properties like it makes him an integral component in the success of this venture as well should the

company complete on the opportunity to acquire the Kenville Gold Mine.
