Ximen Mining (CVE:XIM) (OTCQB:XXMMF) said its option partner GGX Gold Corp (CVE:GGX) (OTCQB:GGXXF) is preparing for this spring's diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop property in British Columbia, which is earmarked to begin in early April.

The spring program will focus on the COD vein, which lies in the southwest zone, further testing its southern extension.

GGX hit near-surface, high- grade gold, silver and tellurium in this part of the vein during last year's diamond drilling.

Highlights included 129 g/t (grams per ton) gold, 1,154 g/t silver and 823 g/t tellurium over a length of 7.28 meters. Another hole hit 107 g/t (grams per ton) gold, 880 g/t silver, and 640 g/t tellurium over a core length of 6.90 meters.

Other targets in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone include the COD north region, where no previous diamond drilling has been completed.

Trenching last year here showed numerous vein showings with grab samples up to 15.45 g/t (grams per ton) gold, 159 g/t silver and 114.5 g/t (grams per ton) tellurium.
