(TSXV: XIM) (FSE: 1XM) (OTC: XXMMF) (the \"Company\" or \"Ximen\") is pleased to provide a summary of results from its drilling program at the Amelia Gold project in Camp McKinney near Rock Creek in southern BC.Figure 1.

The Amelia Gold mine drilling program was completed late last year, and core sampling and analyses were done this year. Eight NQ-size drill holes were completed for a total of 2,064 meters. The target vein was intersected in five holes (AM23-01, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8) between 30 and 45 meters below the lowest mine level and over a strike length of 150 meters (Figure 1). Highlights of analytical results, recently received, are provided in the table below.The best result was from hole AM23-03, which intersected 16.3 grams per tonne gold and 79.9 grams per tonne silver, with 1.88% lead and 1.05% zinc, over a length of 0.26 meters. Elevated silver intercepts were obtained in holes 07 and 08, and elevated lead and/or zinc were intercepted in holes 06, 07 and 08. The holes with elevated pathfinder elements Ag, Pb and Zn indicate that the gold mineralized zone was likely intersected. The lower gold values in these holes could be a product of a nugget effect due to coarse grained gold, which is characteristic of this type of orogenic gold-quartz vein deposits.HoleFrom(m)To(m)Length(m)Gold(g/t)Silver(g/t)Lead(%)Zinc(%)DescriptionAM23-01218.02218.630.612.783.030.060.05Quartz Vein with Py, Sp, Gn, CpAM23-03230.8231.060.2616.3079.901.881.05Quartz Vein with Py, Sp, Gn, CpAM23-05214.54215.250.71<0.010.020.000.01Quartz Vein (blue quartz) with PyAM23-06143.91144.210.301.642.040.100.17Quartz Vein with Py, Sp, GnAM23-07194.43194.930.500.034.020.200.55Quartz Vein with Py, Sp, GnAM23-07194.93195.730.800.011.520.000.43Chert with Quartz Veinlets, PyAM23-07195....
