Hooray, Hooray:
Ximen Mining is Back!
On Friday after market close, the
company announced its plans to go
full throttle now – emphasizing in the
headline of its press-release with a
triple repetition: “DRILL, DRILL, DRILL”
After several new properties in
southern British Columbia have been
acquired in the last months, Ximen is
obviously eager to find out by the drill
bit what it has grabbed just before the
gold price started to soar.
According to the press-release, the
exploration season is expected to
begin in June “and we anticipate
initiating drilling activities immediately
on the existing permitted areas”, the
company noted and added, “we see a
very busy season ahead”.
Well, that sounds good!
A strong newsflow can be expected.
As the newly published property map
illustrates on the next page, Ximen
now owns a respectable portfolio with
promising gold assets.
More or less quietly and secretly, it
has become the undisputed “top dog”
in southern British Columbia. Hooray,
Ximen!
It was pretty quiet around Ximen Mining Corp. during the past corona weeks.
Some may have thought, “Houston, we have a problem?” Far from it!

2. Canada is increasingly in the focus
of private and institutional gold
investors. And with good reason:
Apparantly, the gold price in
Canadian dollars has discovered the
turbocharger and accelerates with
ever higher revs. Looking in the rear-
view mirror, the previous all-time
high from 2011 is getting smaller and
smaller.
While physical gold demand has
surged in recent months, delivery
difficulties have become somehwat
pervasive, and gold mines around the
world have been hit hardest by the
corona lockdown, it has become clear
all the more quickly that indeed there
might be problem, Houston:
Gold is in short supply!
When one also realizes that in recent
years practically no major gold
discoveries were made and that the
existing reserves/resources of gold
mines are increasingly coming to
an end, then it should come as no
surprise that successful gold explorers
and producers may have a golden
future ahead of them.
As such, no wonder that the deal
flow in the gold market is on the rise
noticeably, especially in Canada.
Alone on Monday the 11th May,
5 deals were announced by
Canadian-based gold companies:
• SSR Mining Inc. (TSX: SSRM)
and Alacer Gold Corp. (TSX: ASR)
announced a $4 billion CAD “merger
of equals“ in order to “create a
diversified portfolio of high-quality,
long-life mines across four mining-
friendly jurisdictions“.
• Gold X Mining Corp. (TSX.V: GLDX),
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX: GCM),
and Guyana Goldfields Inc. (TSX:
GUY) proposed a merger “to createa
high-growth, Latin American-focused
intermediate gold producer“.
• Franco-Nevada Corp. (TSX: FNV)
entered into an agreement with
SolGold PLC (TSX: SOLG) to acquire a
1% net smelter royalty with reference
to all minerals produced from the
Alpala Copper-Gold Project in Ecuador
for $100 million USD.
• Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI)
announced a $60 million USD bought-
deal financing with a syndicate of
underwriters led by Scotiabank and
BMO Capital Markets.
• Tethyan Resource Corp. (TSX.V: TETH)
signed a binding agreement to be
acquired by Australian-listed Adriatic
Metals PLC (ASX: ADT) to become a
polymetallic powerhouse in the Balkans.

3. Ximen‘s Success Plan:
Exploration+ Production
As indicated earlier, Ximen has
assembled one of the (if not the)
biggest gold portfolios in southern
British Columbia.
With drilling now planned at several
properties, possibly resulting in a
strong newsflow, Ximen not only aims
to attract attention with exploration
successes on several fronts but,
more importantly, to emerge as a
diversified, high-growth gold play in a
mining-friendly jurisdiction.
On March 20, Ximen announced
its 2020 work programs, including
plans to put into production its 100%
owned Kenville Gold Mine Project
near Nelson, BC:
“Now that we have completed this
part of our acquisition plan, we will
move forward at Kenville as planned
to start mining. As early as next week
we’ll have boots on the ground, and
the crew will begin refurbishing the
Kenville mine portal before building
the portal for the new decline. As
soon as this part is finished, we can
start cracking rock. The most exciting
time for Ximen Mining starts right
now!”
Bring it on!

The X-Factor Poised to Separate the
Wheat from the Chaff Now“
Cautionary Statement: Ximen Mining Corp.
may decide to advance its projects into
production without first establishing
mineral resources supported by an
independent technical report or completing
a feasibility study. A production decision
without the benefit of a technical report
independently establishing mineral
resources or reserves and any feasibility
study demonstrating economic and
technical viability creates increased
uncertainty and heightens economic
and technical risks of failure. Historically,
such projects have a much higher risk of
economic or technical failure.
