Ximen Mining has started its 2024 drilling programme at the Brett epithermal gold project near Vernon, British Columbia (BC), Canada.
The company has completed the mobilisation of crews and equipment, including a diamond drill and support machinery, to the site.
The drilling aims to expand the Main Zone’s mineralisation southeast and at depth, and explore the potential extensions of the New Discovery Zone.
The drill holes have been designed based on a variety of geological indicators, such as gold soil anomalies and geophysical survey results.
Spanning more than 20,043 hectares, the Brett project is known for its low-sulfidation epithermal-style gold mineralisation within Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks.
This site has been explored since 1983, and in the 1990s, a 291-tonne bulk sample was processed, yielding an average of 27.74g/t gold and 63.7g/t silver.
