Previous intercepts from Hibernian include:19m at 107 g/t gold 5m at 96 g/t gold 4m at 92 g/t goldKilkenny Discovery interpreted as structural repeat of the Hibernian ore position - Supporting Benz's structural model and highlighting the potential for multiple stacked high-grade shoots along the controlling structural corridor.Classic structural framework for high-grade gold in orogenic setting- mineralisation controlled by dilation caused by oblique shear zones interacting with a folded gabbro sill.More untested structural targets identified - Several additional undrilled sheared/dilational positions identified along this structural corridor including the Galway Prospect. Emerging eastern gold camp at Mt Egerton - Benz's regional work highlights the camp-scale cluster of prospects around the Mako, Gift (previous intersection 17m at 6.8g/t gold 1) and Trading Post, ~2km east of the Hibernian Mine. Extensive gold and base-metal anomalism; ca. 1811 Ma granodiorite intrusions; exciting potential for significant and largely untested gold system.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2026) - Benz Mining Corp (TSXV: BZ) (ASX: BNZ) (\"Benz\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the discovery of the Kilkenny Zone, a new ultra-high-grade gold discovery located beneath the historic Hibernian Gold Mine at the Company's Mt Egerton Gold Project in Western Australia.
