XIMEN MINING ADVANCES KENVILLE MINE DEVELOPMENT WITH ROBOTIC LIDAR SURVEYING - NELSON BC

Ximen Mining Corp. has provided an update on its Kenville mine project, located in the historic Nelson mining camp in southeastern British Columbia.

The company reports that engineering design work is continuing at the mine site, with lidar (light detection and ranging) surveying of the historic mine tunnels being done using a robotic dog. An initial site visit was also conducted by the consulting engineer for the required foundation investigation, and a further site assessment for the water retention plan by the design engineer was done.

"At Ximen, we are committed to bringing practical new technologies into the exploration and mine-development field, and the use of robotic lidar surveying at Kenville is a good example of that approach," stated Christopher Anderson, chief executive officer of Ximen Mining. "This technology allows our team and consultants to gather important underground data efficiently and safely as we continue preparing for the planned new decline. Kenville is a historic gold mine with modern potential, and we remain focused -- like a dog with a bone -- on advancing the project methodically, responsibly and with the benefit of the best tools available."

This work forms part of the work being done to prepare for construction of the new underground decline to start. The new decline will provide access to multiple gold-bearing quartz veins indicated by previous surface drilling around the historic Kenville gold mine.

Dr. Mathew Ball, PGeo, vice-president of exploration for Ximen Mining, and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
