(the \"Company\" or \"Banyan\") (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) is pleased to announce the analytical results from the final fifty-seven (57) diamond drill holes from the Company's 2022 exploration program at the Powerline and Aurex Hill deposits located on the Company's AurMac Property, Yukon Territory.Assay highlights from this most recent batch of assays received include:31.2 metres (\"m\") of 0.84 g/t Au from 293.4 m in DDH-22-35030.5 m of 1.48 g/t Au from 28.3 m in DDH-22-36478.3 m of 0.48 g/t Au from 73.9 m in DDH-22-371105.9 m of 0.41 g/t Au from 10.7 m in DDH-22-37643.7 m of 0.60 g/t Au from 72.7 m in DDH-22-38063.2 m of 0.45 g/t Au from 41.7 m in DDH-22-38254.1 m of 0.43 g/t Au from 128.7 m in DDH-22-38490.0 m of 0.46 g/t Au from 21.3 m in DDH-22-38664.3 m of 0.42 g/t Au from 54.6 m in DDH-22-387\"With all 2022 data now in hand, Banyan is positioned to further advance the AurMac deposit,\" stated Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan. \"The 2022 exploration program was successful in demonstrating that the AurMac deposit has the potential to be district scale, with the near/on-surface gold mineralization of the Powerline and Aurex Hill deposits continuing to be open and with step-out drilling demonstrating that Banyan can continue to add ounces beyond what will be in our mid-year Resource update.
