XIMEN MAKING NEW DISCOVERIES ON THE BRETT EPITHERMAL GOLD PROJECT VERNON BC CANADA
Ximen Mining Corp.'s field crew under the guidance of Linda Carron MSc, PEng, has made several new discoveries on the Brett property near Vernon, B.C., and the company is currently awaiting assays. Since early May crews have been working in preparation of the upcoming drill program included are some of the companies activities underway.
One new discovery is a new quartz vein discovered in outcrop, 60 metres east of the RW vein bulk sample pit. Well-developed pseudomorphs of cm-scale bladed calcite replaced by quartz, indicative of boiling level in the epithermal system, are present in the vein. Hand trenching by Ximen has exposed this vein for a 5 metre strike length. The vein is flat-lying and has a minimum true thickness of 0.4 metre. The hangingwall contact has not yet been exposed. To date, 3 grab samples have been collected from this vein with results to 513 ppb Au. Additional hand trenching is planned to more fully expose the vein for detailed representative sampling and to determine its true thickness. Because of the vein geometry, this vein is untested by any of the previous drilling on the property.
Regarding the discovery of this new low-angle quartz vein with pseudomorphic quartz after bladed calcite, 20 meters above the pit on the Brett Main Shear Zone, Dr. Michael Rasmussen said, "Even if assays from this specific location are not economically significant, this evidence of hydrothermal boiling so close to the high-grade showings of the Main Shear Zone is a good indication that the vein system at Brett is of greater size and more varied geometry than previously known, and that higher gold grades are likely to be found at depth." |
