The draft Environmental Permit was received
earlier and has been reviewed and approved by Ximen. The company
has now submitted its final responses and anticipates the final
permit to be issued shortly.
The company’s 100%-owned Kenville Gold Mine
project at Nelson in southeastern British Columbia, was the first
recorded underground mine in British Columbia, having started
production in 1890 and mined into the 1950’s. The historical
production records show 65,381 ounces gold produced from 158,842
tonnes milled, for a recovered grade of 12.8 grams per tonne, or
0.37 ounces per ton gold, although management cautions that these
are historic estimates and should not be treated as current mineral
resources.
This important Mines Act Permit from the Ministry
of Energy, Mines and Low-Carbon Innovation finalized items related
to the permit area, shown on this map, and set the amount of the
Reclamation Security Bond at $103,800.
It approved the following key activities:
- Establishment of the new Venango Portal and 1200 m of decline
development at this portal with associated re-mucks, safety bays
and sumps.
- Authorizes an underground exploration drilling program of
20,250 metres from the new Venango decline.
- Establishment of one Waste Rock Storage facility of
approximately 3,750 sq. metres.
- Installation of surface water management structures.
- Location of one portable office structure.
- Onsite fuel storage using two 4,500 enviro tanks.
Christopher Anderson, President and CEO, stated:
“The Company is very pleased with the permit draft and has reviewed
the conditions that apply prior to and during the development
program, a majority of which have already been met. Ximen is making
a final review of the exact wording and conditions. Once our review
has been completed and relayed to the Mines department, the final
Mines Act Permit is expected to be received. This Permit brings us
one step closer to, moving forward into a more sustainable
self-reliant economy, working at expanding the art of underground
mining, a long industrious trade that empowers those executing the
work with a sense of accomplishment and pride, while maintaining
our environment and utilizing hydro, a green energy source to
advance the project.”
The draft permit specifically requires that
construction must be completed under the supervision of a
Professional Engineer, including items such and development and
implementation of a Ground Control Management Plan consistent with
industry standards. A foundation inspection must be completed by a
Professional Engineer prior to construction of a waste rock dump
following the design and other recommendations prepared by the
Professional Engineer. A monitoring well pair (shallow and deep)
located near the underground workings must be installed and
continuously monitored for water levels. Implement an
Archaeological Chance Find Procedure outlining actions required if
previously unknown heritage resources are encountered during
project construction or operation.
It is management’s objective to preserve this site
as it has been for the last 100 years and create many impactful,
meaningful and well-paying jobs for the region, as well maintain a
small environmental footprint, aiming to be one of the greenest
gold producers in BC and a leader in the industry.
In 2009, previous operators conducted detailed
sampling on the 257 Level of the Kenville mine and based on the
results, an historic mineral resource was estimated, showing 16,289
ounces gold in the measured and indicated categories, along with
356,949 ounces gold in the inferred category.
Ximen also owns 100% of three precious metal
projects located in southern BC, the Amelia Gold Mine, 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.
