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).
