-OTCQB; 1XMA-FSE] has completed airborne lidar and magnetic surveys at its Brett property near Vernon, southern British Columbia.were covered by magnetic surveys, flown at 50-metre spaced flight lines. The lidar surveys covered a total of 12 kmand included orthophotos. Data was collected with a Phoenix Ranger lidar scanner via a manned helicopter.
Most of the drilling targeted the Main zone, where high-grade gold is hosted in quartz-carbonate veins associated with a northwest-trending fault zone in argillic and silica-altered volcanic rocks of the Eocene Penticton group. The veins locally contain visible gold and show textures characteristic of an epithermal deposit, such as bladed calcite.
Further from the Main zone are the New Discovery and East zones. The Gossan and West zones are large areas of altered rocks with local gold geochemical anomalies. New zones were also discovered with exploration campaigns conducted by Ximen in 2014 and 2016.
