Vancouver, B.C., June 19, 2020 – Ximen Mining Corp. (TSX.v: XIM) (FRA: 1XMA) (OTCQB: XXMMF) (the “Company” or “Ximen”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired 7 additional claims near its Kenville gold mine property in Nelson, southern British Columbia.
Seven claims covering approximately 693 hectares were acquired this week in the Nelson Mining Camp. One block of 2 claims surrounds the Company’s Queen Victoria historic mine, located about 5 kilometers northwest of the Kenville mine. A second block of 5 claims adjoins the east boundary of the Company’s Kenville gold mine property.
The Queen Victoria copper-gold-silver skarn deposit was mined between 1907 and 1956 and produced 1.48 million pounds of copper (673 tonnes), 30,544 ounces of silver, and 246 ounces of gold. The new claims also cover three crown granted claims that reverted.
The eastern block of claims covers five reverted crown grants and the Mor 1 mineral occurrence. In addition, the Oro Fino occurrence lies on the boundary between the newly acquired claims and existing Ximen property. At Oro Fino, known mineralization is similar to that of the Kenville mine: quartz veins with pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and free gold, so it appears that the Kenville vein system continues into this area. The Mor 1 occurrence is located 1 km southeast of the Kenville mine. Known mineralization there consists of disseminated pyrite with minor chalcopyrite in diorite and pyrite and chalcopyrite in narrow quartz veins up to 30 centimetres in width, indicating potential for bulk-mineable and lode gold deposits.
The total land package assembled by Ximen in the Nelson-Ymir-Salmo area since first acquiring the Kenville gold mine now stands at 19,582 hectares. Earlier this year, properties were acquired from Emgold Mining Corporation, Klondike Gold Corp. and 49er Creek Gold Corp.

Each Unit consists of one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant.
