Ximen Mining Corp. announced a summary of the results of a hydrogeology assessment completed for the Company’s 100% owned Kenville Gold Mine project at Nelson in southeastern British Columbia. The Company recently engaged Ecoscape Environmental Consultants Ltd. (“Ecoscape”) to conduct a hydrogeology assessment of the Company’s plan to construct a new underground decline at the Kenville Gold mine. The objective of the study was to provide an assessment of the likelihood of hydraulic connectivity between an underlying aquifer that the proposed decline that will pass through it. The report concluded that the 113 domestic wells currently accessing the aquifer only demand 13.6% of the annual recharge. The proposed portal at Kenville Gold Mine would have a negligible effect on groundwater supply in the aquifer. Further, the report concluded that it’s not likely that there is any connection between the aquifer 511 IIB and Eagle Creek.
