Ximen Mining Corp (TSX-V:XIM, OTCQB:XXMMF) announced that it has received water use approval for its Amelia gold mine project near Rock Creek in southern British Columbia, allowing the company to draw from various water sources in the area of its Amelia property for drilling.
The precious metals projects developer said the permit will allow periodic extraction of water from five points of diversion, subject to conditions.
“Ximen Mining has had an excellent start this year, obtaining all the necessary permits for the execution of plans at the Kenville Gold mine,” Ximen Mining CEO Christopher Anderson said in a statement.
“Additionally, progress on the drilling activities at the Amelia site is also going well,” he added.
Anderson also noted that its past-producing Kenville project was one of the first gold mines to be put into production in southern British Columbia, while Amelia was the first dividend-paying gold mine in the same region.
The company added that with its water permit in place, it can proceed with plans for drilling at the Amelia property, which is planned for this season.
Historic production from the Cariboo-Amelia was 81,602 ounces of gold, 32,439 ounces of silver, 113,302 pounds of lead and 198,140 pounds of zinc, with an average recovered gold grade of 24.68 grams per tonne, according to the company.
Ximen Mining owns a 100% interest in three of its precious metals projects located in southern British Columbia. The company's two gold projects are the Amelia Gold Mine and the Brett epithermal gold project. Ximen also owns the Treasure Mountain silver project adjacent to the past-producing Huldra Silver (TSX-V:HDA) Mine and it has acquired control of the Kenville Gold mine near Nelson British Columbia.
