Christopher Anderson, President and CEO, stated: "The Kenville Gold Mine, which began operations in 1888, was one of the first underground gold mines in British Columbia. After years of working on this particular permit, the Kenville Gold Mine is now on track to becoming one of the greenest and environmentally-friendly gold mines in Southern BC.

The company's 100%-owned Kenville Gold Mine project at Nelson, British Columbia, continued production into the 1950's. The historical production records show 65,381 ounces of gold produced from 158,842 tonnes milled, for a recovered grade of 12.8 grams per tonne, or 0.37 ounces per ton gold. Management cautions that these are historic estimates and should not be treated as current mineral resources.

The Mines Act Permit approved the following key activities:

• Establishment of the new Venango Portal and 1200 m of decline development at this portal with associated re-mucks, safety bays and sumps.
• Authorizes an underground exploration drilling program of 20,250 metres from the new Venango decline.
• Establishment of one Waste Rock Storage facility of approximately 3,750 sq. metres.
• Installation of surface water management structures.
• Location of one portable office structure.
• Onsite fuel storage using two 4,500 enviro tanks.

The Reclamation Security Bond has been set at $103,800.

The permit is comprehensive and includes several conditions for Health and Safety, Geotechnical, Environmental Land and Watercourses, and the Reclamation and Closure Program that will be addressed before mining begins.

In 2009, previous operators conducted detailed sampling on the 257 Level of the Kenville mine and based on the results, an historic mineral resource was estimated, showing 16,289 ounces gold in the measured and indicated categories, along with 356,949 ounces gold in the inferred category.

Ximen also owns 100% of three precious metal projects located in southern BC, the Amelia Gold Mine, the Brett Epithermal Gold Project, and the Treasure Mountain Silver Project adjacent to the past producing Huldra Silver Mine. Currently, the Treasure Mountain Silver Project is under an option with the option partner making annual staged cash and stocks payments as well as funding the project.
