Drill site at Wild Horse project

Retrieving drill core at Wild Horse project

This year, Ximen tested another area where a gold soil anomaly and abundant boulders of syenite were found along the mapped position of the Boulder Creek fault (BC Assessment report 30952).  The syenite is believed to be part of a mid-Cretaceous plutonic suite that is spatially associated with gold mineralization in the Kimberley Gold Trend.  The Boulder Creek fault is a regional fault that is interpreted as an eastward continuation of the St. Mary fault (BC Geology Survey Bulletin 84). Both faults are associated with gold deposits in the Kimberley Gold Trend (Geoscience BC Map: 2015-13-01).

A total of 528.7 meters was drilled in hole WH23-01, which intersected multiple carbonate-quartz veins and an altered and veined zone associated with a porphyry dike intruding limy argillite and limestone.  Core samples were cut and submitted for analysis.  Results are pending at this time.
