Ximen Mining Corp Completes Gold Recovery Batch Test for
Brett Gold Project Portal Stockpile, Vernon BC
Vancouver, B.C. – November 6 , 2018 - Ximen Mining Corp . (TSX.V: XIM)
(OTCQB:XXMMF) (the “Company” or “Ximen”) is pleased to announce th e completion of a
gold recovery batch test of portal stockpile material on the Brett Gold Property, located near
Vernon, British Columbia.
The purpose of this test was to provide a rough validation of the historic reported average of 4 to
5 Au g/t (gold grams per tonne ) for the portal stockpile near the Brett Portal (Minfile report
082LSW110). The portal, completed in the 1990s, is the entr y to 360 m of underground
development on the Main Shear Zone. During this development, a pproximately 1400 tonnes of
mineralized muck was stockpiled adjacent to the portal.
The test sample consisted of two, five-gallon pails of cobble to boulder sized rock fragments
collected from the surface o f the stockpile. The hand-selected rock fragments were either
observed as flooded with quartz veining or intensely altered (see Photo 1) . The complete 34kg
sample was triple crushed using jaw-rolls crushers and screened to 20 mesh (0.90 mm).
The crushed, screened, and weighed material was fed through a gold shaker table (see Photo 2).
The table, buckets, and crushers were cleaned before and between sampling. The various sample
products (concentrate, midlings and tailings) were collected from the discharges and shipped to
Vancouver ALS Canada laboratory for 33 multi-element analysis by four acid digestion and
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP -AES) analysis which included
gold and silver. The results of the test are displayed in Table 1.

The gold shaker table requires continuous feed to operate properly. During the end of the sample cleanup
took place and some cross contamination between tailings and midlings may have occurred. Gold particle
size and crush size may be responsible for gold found in tailings.
The weighted average grade of the 34.0 kg sample was estimated to be 4.20 Au g/t, which falls in the
historically reported average of between 4 to 5 Au g/t from the 1990 work. Since the entire pail of tailings
was not dried and weight, the total tailings weight is assumed to be initial crush minus the concentrates and
midlings.

Given the historic reported average of 4 to 5 Au g/t (gold grams per tonne) for the portal stockpile
near the Brett Portal has now bee n validated, focus will be towards carrying out additional
metallurgical testing to characterize the nature of t he gold within the stockpile to provide the best
optimization options for gold recovery (e.g. bulk mineral analysis with estimate of liberation,
QEMSCAN, etc).
