The Company reports that its consultant engineer completed the design for a culvert and run off installation to construct a culvert across Fisherman Road and provided the design to the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI). 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 towards 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 are 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 pre-construction requirements are completed.

Dr. Mathew Ball, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Ximen Mining Corp. and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, approved the technical information contained in this News Release.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
