RE:RE:RE:Ximen Mining Mobilizing Drill Crew to Brett Epithermal Gold Yes, access was gained, drilling was completed, and only some wrap-up remains. Apparently they looked at fixing the Whitemans Rd. access but that was too expensive. Plus the main entrance area needs major work and is currently only accessible by narrow ATVs. They seem to have abandoned it. Instead they improved a rudimentary trail from the north. The absolute bare minimum was done and the heavy stuff had to be unloaded and skidded in from several kilometers north of the work area. The trail is already deteriorating in spots but was still barely passable by pickup as of last weekend. No sloping or culverts or drainage of any kind. They simply dozed across the water crossings. Exactly what one would expect if no future work was planned. Recent forestry projects in the area were required to work to some standards. My guess is that there was no supervision here. Additional speculation is that some of the contractors waited months to get paid. Which makes me wonder if they had to wait until the press releases drove some additional investment. Bottom line, I wouldn't invest a nickel in this company and I'd advise future contractors (if any) to insist on payment in advance. But that's just one guy's opinion. I suggest that prospective investors check it out for themselves, and do that before the mudholes get any deeper.
