(TSXV:XIM)(FRA:1XMA)(OTCQB:XXMMF)(the \"Company\" or \"Ximen\") is pleased to announce results from drilling conducted last year at its newly acquired Wild Horse Gold property, located 15 kilometers northeast of Cranbrook in the Fort Steele Mining Division in southern British Columbia. Property map showing Wild Horse Gold Property near Fort Steele, B.C.The drilling was done to extend previous drill results from 2016 that tested a gold-breccia zone where previous surface grab sample results ranged up to 8.0 grams per tonne gold. High gold values were intersected in the 2016 drill hole LF16-01, which was drilled at an inclination of 60 degrees and intersected stockwork quartz veinlets and breccia in altered sedimentary rocks. Previous reports indicate a drill intercept of 0.76 grams per tonne gold over 14.4 meters was obtained between depths of 60.0 meters and the end of the hole at 74.4 meters. The hole ended in the mineralized zone.

The first hole (GM21-01) was an extension of the 2016 hole; the hole was deepened from 74 to 217.6 meters. The extension intersected a continuation of the quartz veinlet stockwork and breccia-style mineralization seen in LF16-01, with consistently elevated gold values obtained between 75 and 84 meters, and local elevated gold values further down the hole. The interval from 74 to 84 meters (10.0 meters) returned values ranging between 0.10 and 1.21 grams per tonne gold and averaged 0.42 grams per tonne gold. From 74 to 146 meters (72.0 meters) an average grade of 0.28 grams per tonne gold was obtained. Combining the mineralized interval from the bottom of hole LF16-01 with the upper part of hole GM21-01, the interval from 60.0 to 84.0 meters (24.0 meters) has an average grade of 0.60 grams per tonne gold and a lower interval between 84 and 146 (62.0 meters) meters has an average grade of 0.26 grams per tonne gold. The entire interval from 60 to 146 meters (86 meters) ha...
