#1 A Closer Look at Ximens Kenville Gold Mine
The Kenville Gold Mine: Production Ready 100% owned by Ximen (no NSRs) Historical production records Recent discovery of high-grade vein system (late 2000s) Permits to explore this area are submitted and under review (2021) Excellent infrastructure & access Committed to ESG Reporting
Established in 1888, the Kenville Gold Mine was British Columbia's first underground operation. Historical records show 65,381 ounces gold produced from 158,842 tonnes milled, for a recovered grade of 12.8 grams per tonne (0.37 ounce per ton) gold.
Drilling in the late 2000s tapped into an untouched vein system to the south and west of the old mine. The vein system spans 700 meters in strike and 250 meters down dip with spectacular grades ranging from 26.6 g/t to 88.1 g/t.
Ximen plans to develop a 1200-meter decline to extract a 10,000-tonne bulk sample. Currently, permits for bulk sample and underground options are submitted and under review.
