“From exploration to production, we aspire to pour our first

Dore bar as early as the end of this year.”

States Anderson CEO

A new underground decline is planned to be driven 466 metres as a line drive at -15% grade from

a starting elevation of 810 metres to the 740 metre elevation, then a further 40 metres at +3%. The

decline is projected to cross at least two veins before reaching its target elevation, which lies at the

center of a series of vein intercepts in holes drilled between 1995 and 2010. The end of the decline

will also be in a favourable position for a raise to be driven to connect with the historic workings

of the Kenville gold mine, to be used for ventilation and as a secondary egress as the mine is

progressively developed.

Underground diamond drilling from the decline is planned to begin at about 200 metres from the

portal. This drilling will follow-up historic 1995 drill intercepts on the Eagle veins, in an area where

mineralized shoots are projected down from historic mined areas on the 257 and 275 levels. If

successful, stope blocks could be defined between the 200 and the target 500 metre mark in the

decline. The following intercept are examples of target intercepts before the 500 metre mark in the

decline.

The 500 metre end-position of the planned decline is in line with a projection of mineralized shoots

from the historic mine. At the 500 metre mark there are a number of drill intersections in the Flat

vein and South Zone areas that indicate excellent potential for a bulk sample to be outlined. The

following are some of better target intercepts for the 500 metre mark in the planned decline:

Note: The above tables are based on information provided by previous operators that is considered

historical. Although it is known that the drill programs were directed by experienced personnel

and a quality control progra m was employed to monitor assay results, a qualified person has not

verified the previous results on behalf of Ximen Mining Corp. Ximen believes the results are

representative of the undeveloped mineralization at the Kenville property.

It is estimated that 4500 metres of underground drilling will be required to appropriately outline

material for a bulk sample of 10,000 tonnes. The 740 metre elevation will likely be the first level

from which potential vein stope mining will take place, via ramps driven up and down to cross-

cut projected veins indicated from the drilling. An area extending over a strike length of 300

metres and a vertical distance of 150 metres will be developed for trial mining of a bulk sample.

Once a stope block has been delineated by underground drilling, it can be developed by access

ramps driven down by as much as -20% grade. Then, up to four vertical cuts can be made by

taking down the back until the fourth cut has a + 20% ramp to it. The plan is to remove the vein

material in the stope face and slash it on the up-dip side, which will minimize the waste rock

generated. After a stope is mined out, it can be back-filled with waste from an adjacent stope.
