[{"type":"text","content":"Ximen Announces Diamond Drilling Program Has Commenced On the Gold Drop PropertyVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 15, 2019 / Ximen Mining Corp. (TSX.v: XIM) (FRA: 1XMA) (OTCQB:XXMMF) (the \"Company\" or \"Ximen\") is pleased to announce its Option Partner GGX Gold Corp (GGX: TSX.v), (GGXXF:OTCQB), (FRA:3SR2) has begun the spring 2019 diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property, located in Southern British Columbia. The drilling program will focus on the C.O.D vein located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. The Company intersected near-surface, high- grade gold, silver and tellurium within the C.O.D vein during 2018 diamond drilling, including: COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1,154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28 meters core length. COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90 meters core length. Ximen's option partner is kicking off its 2019 exploration program with drilling on the C.O.D vein (C.O.D stands for \"Continuation of Dentonia\"; the Dentonia is another gold-quartz vein in the camp that was historically mined). The C.O.D vein was first targeted in 2017. Initial sampling of the vein justified follow-up trenching and drilling. In 2018, the drilling program followed on and included a series of holes drilled to the south of the C.O.D trench that successfully extended the vein for a total length of nearly 400 meters and intersected high grade mineralization. The assay results (please refer to the Company's website for News Releases announcing these results) include the following highlights: Hole ID Interval Length Gold (gpt) Silver (gpt) Te (gpt) COD17-14 16.03 4.59 38.64 COD18-3 2.1 14.62 150.2 102 COD18-26 1.4 10.3 1.09 0.2 COD18-32 1.51 3.67 67.2 30.4 COD18-33 2.98 8.65 47.6 37.3 COD18-34 3.41 6.16 72.4 31.0 COD18-37 3.95 8.23 67.36 38.53 COD18-45 2.05 50.15 375 COD18-46 1.47 54.9 379 COD18-49 1.47 9.52 118 72.2 COD18-54 1.66 7.6 60.2 34.1 COD18-61 1.38 5.29 32.4 31.4 COD18-63 1.17 28 424.7 150.4 COD18-67 7.28 129.11 1,154.90 823.0 COD18-68 2.76 8.77 85.4 56.3 COD18-69 7.46 5.76 67.9 61.2 COD18-70 6.9 107.5 880 640 For 2019, the drilling will be initially aimed at extending and in-filling the ore shoot of high-grade gold-silver-tellurium mineralization that was intersected in 2018. Following this, the Everest vein to the south, and the C.O.D. extension to the north will be drill-tes...
