                                           NEWS RELEASE


                   Ximen Mining -- Shareholder Urges Independent Directors to Act

March 7, 2017   The undersigned shareholder of Ximen Mining Corporation (" Ximen" or the
"Corporation") is urging the independent directors of Ximen's Board of Directors to act immediately to
investigate Ximen's management manipulation of voting entitlements at Ximen's annual general meeting
(the "AGM"), which was scheduled to be held on February 15, 2017, but was adjourned to March 10,
2017, in response to demands made by shareholders in attendance, in person and by proxy, at the
scheduled AGM.

Call to Investigate Manipulation of AGM Voting

Based on publicly available documents, it appears that Ximen's management purposely selected the issue
dates of certain share issuance around the AGM record date (a) to disenfranchise certain non-management
shareholders (i.e., Ximen management timed issue dates to prevent certain shareholders from voting at the
AGM) and (b) to entrench management by giving more votes to the CEO, Christopher Anderson and his
supporters at the AGM so that Mr. Anderson and his son could be elected to the Board.

As reported in the undersigned's news release of March 3, 2017, Ximen's management actions, absence
intervention by independent directors, will deny over 15 million common shares of certain former
debenture holders (the "Non-Management Debenture Shares") from exercising their right to vote at the
AGM. Based on public filings, Ximen's management directed Computershare, the Corporation's transfer
agent, to issue the Non-Management Debenture Shares after the record date of the Meeting of January 3,
2017, when those shares should have been issued in December 2016   i.e., before the record date. Further,
based on a review of Mr. Anderson's SEDI reports and the ballots and proxies submitted for the
scheduled AGM, Ximen's management issued debenture shares and warrant shares to Mr. Anderson and
a few of Anderson's supporters just before the record date. Together, these actions by Ximen's
management indicate a scheme to manipulate the share issuances to disenfranchise certain holders of the
Non-Management Debenture Shares and to favour Mr. Anderson and his personal supporters.

To address these questions in the best interests of Ximen, the independent directors of Ximen's Board of
Directors need to act immediately to diligently investigate the above noted actions. Further, to mitigate
adverse consequences to Ximen and its shareholders, the Board should immediately cancel the adjourned
AGM and call a new annual general meeting where all holders of common shares get to vote. As part of
its due diligence investigation, the independent directors of Ximen's Board of Directors should obtain
independent legal advice (and not rely on assertions of management directors) and specifically a legal
opinion on the valid issue date of the Non-Management Debenture Shares to support their findings.

Call to Address Other Governance Issues

The undersigned also asks the independent directors of Ximen's Board of Directors to review and take
appropriate action to address the following corporate governance issues:

    Ximen's CEO, Christopher Anderson, did not file an insider trading report on SEDI to report his
    acquisition of convertible debentures in or about January 2016 as required by applicable provincial
    securities laws, and did not issue a press release or file an early warning report on SEDAR as required
    by applicable provincial securities laws.

    Ximen's CEO, Christopher Anderson issued to himself his debentures shares and debenture warrants
    in December 2016, but waited until January 4, 2017, to issue the Non-Management Debenture Shares
    and related debenture warrants. Further, in late December, 2016, Christopher Anderson issued to

    himself a total of 2,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share on exercise of debenture warrants.
    Further, on February 21, 2017, the date Ximen announced a private placement, Mr. Anderson, sold
    1,454,000 common shares at approximately $0.10 per share.

    The nominees for the board by Ximen management include Wesley Warthe-Anderson, the son of
    Ximen's CEO, Christopher Anderson, a non-independent director. There is no description of his
    experience or qualifications in the information circular for the AGM as required by applicable
    provincial securities laws.

    Contrary to section 173(5) of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), Ximen management
    has not kept at its records office each ballot cast on a poll and each proxy voted at the AGM.
