The 2022 exploration program of trenching and
drilling is designed to test targets for disseminated gold-copper
mineralization. The company is permitted to drill a total of 24
drill sites of which 10 are approved for this year. As multiple
holes can be drilled from each of the sites, the current permits
allow for a total of 40 holes or up to approximately 10,000 metres
this year. Drilling is planned to start after the annual survey of
species and ecosystems at risk is completed in April.
The Bud Elk property covers 7 mineral occurrences
of which the Morrison is recorded as a past producer, with total
production of 230 ounces of gold, 837 ounces of silver and 23,637
ponds of copper from 2,637 tonnes. Both disseminated copper-gold
porphyry and copper-gold skarn mineralization are present at
Bud-Elk.
Since acquiring the property, Ximen conducted
check rock sampling in 2020, and soil geochemistry and airborne
geophysics in 2021. Results from last year’s soil sampling are
still pending review and compilation.
At the Buckhorn showing, disseminated pyrite,
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occurs in diorite. Grab samples from
the Buckhorn retuned values ranging from 0.14% to greater than 1%
copper, and from 0.09 to 2.7 grams per tonne gold. Trenching by the
previous owner in 2008 exposed mineralization including 43.5 metres
grading 0.37% copper and 0.60 g/t gold and 45.0 metres grading
0.57% copper and 0.40 g/t gold.
At Morrison, disseminated pyrite and minor
chalcopyrite, and narrow massive sulfide zones were encountered in
trenching and drilling by previous owners in 2003 and 2005. The
most significant gold, silver and copper values from that program
were obtained in zones of massive sulfide mineralization.
At the Moreen showing, 400 metres south of the
Buckhorn, trenching by the previous owner in 2008 exposed quartz
diorite with disseminated copper-gold mineralization, including 32
metres grading 0.23% copper and 0.12 g/t gold.
Two additional showings were reported by the
previous operators. The first is the Iron Top showing, where
disseminated chalcopyrite occurs in in an east-west trending zone
that can be traced over 500 metres. Grab samples collected by the
previous owner in 2012 returned results up to 0.91% copper and 1.41
g/t gold from disseminated mineralization, and 0.58% copper and
0.82 g/t gold from skarn-type mineralization. One grab sample
collected from the Iron Top showing returned values of 0.42% copper
and 0.35 grams per tonne gold. The second is the XLCR showing,
where one grab sample collected in 2012 by previous owners of
disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite returned a value of 0.28%
copper and 0.28 g/t gold. These results confirm the presence of
disseminated gold-copper mineralization. Management cautions that
historical numbers have been examined but have not been
verified.
Ximen owns 100% of three of its precious metal
projects located in southern BC, the Amelia Gold Mine and The Brett
Epithermal Gold Project, and the Treasure Mountain Silver Project
adjacent to the past producing Huldra Silver Mine. Currently, the
Treasure Mountain Silver Project is under an option with the option
partner making annual staged cash and stocks payments as well as
funding the project. The company has also acquired control of the
Kenville Gold mine near Nelson, BC, which comes with surface and
underground rights, buildings and equipment.
Ximen’s shares are trading at $0.22. For more
