The Star properties include a group of 22 contiguous Crown Grants situated south of the Kenville gold mine property, 2 Crown Grants that adjoin the Kenville Gold mine property on its west side, and one Crown Grant situated east of Kenville. The Star Crown Grants cover the historic Eureka and Star mines.
Historic production at the Eureka was 617 ounces gold, 36,161 ounces silver, 350, 910 pounds of copper and minor lead from 8,995 tonnes mined, of which 3,603 tonnes were milled. Calculated grades for tonnage mined are 125 grams per tonne silver, 1.8 grams per tonne gold and 1.77% copper.
The historic Star mine produced 180 ounces of gold and minor silver and copper from 1,163 tonnes mined. The calculated gold grade is 4.81 grams per tonne.
Significant drill intercepts from historic data, including 56 meters of 1.2 grams per tonne gold, are more fully described in the attached video.
Management believes the group of Star claims, which straddles the margin of the Eagle Creek pluton, which hosts the high-grade gold-quartz veins at Ximen's Kenville property, is one of the key properties in the Nelson camp. On the Star ground, widespread disseminated mineralization occurs over a south-southeast trending zone approximately two kilometers in strike length and one half to one kilometer wide.
In addition to the Kenville Gold Mine, Ximen Mining also owns 100% interests in 3 other precious metal projects located in southern BC., the Amelia Gold Mine and The Brett Epithermal Gold Project, and the Treasure Mountain Silver Project adjacent to the past producing Huldra Silver Mine.
Currently, the Treasure Mountain Silver Project is under an option agreement, with the option partner making annual staged cash and stocks payments as well as funding the development of the project.
