XIMEN MINING CORP TO COMPLETE FINAL REQUIREMENTS TO START KENVILLE GOLD MINE - NELSON, BC

Ximen Mining Corp. has provided this update on activities at its Kenville gold mine project near Nelson in southeastern British Columbia.

The company reports that its consultant engineer completed the design for a culvert and runoff installation to construct a culvert across Fisherman Road and provided the design to the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The culvert is a drainage diversion upgrade that is required to be in place before mine construction can be started. Construction of the culvert is planned for early spring. This is a major step forward toward starting the mine.

A design for a water retention tank to protect the drainage channel in case of a flood event is nearly completed, and an engineering report on mine site building foundations and road stability is also required to be completed.

The Kenville gold mine project continues moving forward. The company is aiming to break ground for the new underground decline as soon as these preconstruction requirements are completed.

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