All equipment including a diamond drill, D6 Cat, Hitachi excavator and ancillary pumps and hoses have been mobilized to the Brett property and a temporary camp has been established.

The drill program is designed to extend the most prominent mineralized zone at the Brett, the Main Zone to the southeast and at depth, and to test for extensions to the New Discovery Zone (located east of the Main Zone). Drill holes were designed and ranked using parameters including gold soil anomalies, pathfinder element soil anomalies, resistivity, IP chargeability, magnetic anomalies, VLF anomaly, LiDAR lineaments, porphyry proximity, and high gold assay proximity.
The first drill hole is designed to confirm results of historic holes on the Main Zone and test a western zone of anomalous gold (see Figure 1)

The Brett project (20,043 hectares) covers low-sulfidation epithermal-style gold mineralization hosted in Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks. Epithermal-style gold mineralization was discovered in 1983, and a 291 tonne surface bulk sample was shipped to the smelter at Trail, BC in the 1990's that averaged 27.74 grams per tonne gold and 63.7 grams per tonne silver (Brett 2017 NI 43-101 report). Multiple zones of mineralization occur over a two kilometer strike, including both bulk-mineable and bonanza high grade styles. Ximen conducted LiDAR and airborne magnetic surveys over parts of the Brett property in 2022. Interpretation, 3D modeling and target refinement were then completed in preparation for the 2024 drilling program.
