At Nelson, Ximen controls approximately 21,476 hectares of mineral claims, covering 57 mineral occurrences, including the 100%-owned Kenville gold mine, for which the company recently received a Final Environment Permit. The company is conducting exploration on the surrounding claims, including metallurgical testing of tailing samples from the Wilcox tailings deposit near Ymir and field evaluations of other occurrences. Detailed work will focus on the Star property, where drilling is planned later in the season to test for bulk-minable copper-gold mineralization. Drilling is also planned for the California and Venus-Juno historic gold mines.

The Wild Horse project, northeast of Fort Steele, Cranbrook, consists of 156 claims covering 13,948 hectares and 25 mineral occurrences. It covers source areas for the historic Wild Horse River placer gold deposit. Hard rock gold was discovered in this area as early as 1895 at Midas and 1899 at Big Chief. In 2015, gold mineralization was found to the southwest along strike of the Midas on Ximen's Lone 4 claim on Gold Mountain, where gold-bearing quartz veins occur in northeast trending shears and breccias. The Lone 4 was drilled in 2016 but the hole stopped in mineralization.

In the summer of 2021, further diamond drilling intersected quartz stockwork and breccia-style mineralization extending down from the end of a 2016 hole. A mineralized interval combined from both holes was 86 meters length with an average of 0.36 grams per tonne gold. The results indicate potential for a bulk-minable gold deposit. Ximen's property also covers zinc occurrences with similarities to the historic world-class Sullivan deposit. This year, Ximen plans to drill an area where gold was previously panned from overburden samples.
