XIM Ximen Mining Corp

Ximen (TSX-V:XIM) (OTCQX:XXMMF) (Frankfurt:1XM) has received the results for the first batch of samples from its exploration program on the Gold Drop property near Greenwood. Of the 40 samples collected, 9 returned values greater than 10 g/t Au, to a maximum of 56.2 g/t Au over a 0.55 m true thickness. An additional 13 samples returned results greater than 1 g/t Au, but less than 10 g/t Au. A complete tabulation of analytical results follows.

All of the samples were collected from the Gold Drop-North Star vein system, from historic workings or from new exposures created by the company's excavator trenching program. To date, only the (the Upper North Star) has been tested by excavator trenching. The company is pleased with these initial rock sample results. Exploration, including trenching, is ongoing to explore other targets on the property.

The Upper North Star Vein has now been traced, intermittently in outcrop and in historic pits, for a strike length of 315 m. The Ximen trench exposes the vein, continuously along strike, for 40 metres. In this exposure, the vein varies in true width from several 10's of centimeters up to 2 m. It is a massive, low-sulfide quartz vein, with local patchy galena, chalcopyrite and possible tellurides. 

Samples from the underground workings at the Upper Gold Drop adit were collected from areas of historic mining, from the base and margins of the historic stopes and raises. Analytical results confirm reported historically mined grades.

In addition to the above samples, 13 samples were collected from a 22.5 m long exploration drift that tests the Upper North Star vein approximately 2 m vertically below the southern end of the Ximen excavator trench. Samples were channel samples collected across the width of the vein, at approximately 2 m intervals along the drift. The vein averages 0.8 m true width in the exploration drift, and ranges up to 2.8 m in width. Results of the underground sampling were lower than the above surface samples, returning a maximum of 2.06 g/t Au over a vein width of 0.8 m. 

Samples described in the above table as channel samples were collected across the width of the vein, using a micro-blaster rock breaker. Chip samples were collected across the width of the vein, using a hammer and chisel. Sample width listed in the table represents true width of the vein, where sampled. Analytical work for Ximen's 2014 work program is being completed by Actlabs, at their accredited Kamloops-based facility (ISO 9001:2008 accredited, ISO 17025 – pending). Ximen's analytical protocol has been designed to mitigate potential nugget gold issues, to provide representative gold analyses, and to provide multi-element information which may help understand zoning within the system. Large samples are collected in the field (2 – 7 kg). At the laboratory, the entire sample is finely crushed (90% passing 2 mm screen), then a 1 kg split of the crushed sample is pulverized to 95% passing 105 microns. All samples are tested for gold, using Fire Assay/AA finish on a 30 gm sample of pulverized material. All samples are also tested for a multi-element ICP/MS suite following aqua regia digestion. For all samples that return > 4 ppm Au based by FA/AA, metallic gold assays are completed on 500 gm samples of pulverized material. Samples returning > 100 ppm Ag are assayed by Fire Assay – Gravimetric finish.
