[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2023) - Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCQB: BNNHF) (FSE: 5YZ0) (\"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of two inaugural diamond drill holes and the discovery of porphyry style mineralization at the Alotta copper-gold-molybdenum project in the west-central Yukon. The first two holes tested the south-central portion of an induced polarization, chargeability high with coincident copper and gold in soil anomalies. The drill program is proposed to continue in May 2024. The diamond drill and most camp equipment will remain on site over the winter. The next planned holes will focus on at least four areas of coincident copper, molybdenum and gold in soil geochemical anomalies that indicate the potential centers of porphyry mineralization. Drill Holes ALT-23-001/002 Both holes exhibited multiple intrusive phases including intrusive breccias displaying strong biotite alteration, carbonate veining and pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization as interstitial clots and stringers. The photo below is from ALT-23-001, at approximately 17-metre depth illustrates the shreddy brown biotite alteration coincident with interstitial and veinlet style mineralization. Table 1 provides the collar coordinates, orientation, and final depth for both holes.

Disseminated and fracture-controlled mineralization in the form of pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization was observed throughout both holes with total sulfide concentrations up to 5% over extensive core lengths. The exception being a quartz vein in hole ALT-23-002 with semi-massive pyrrhotite with traces of chalcopyrite. Both holes were terminated in mineralization, therefore casing was left in both holes to facilitate extending them this spring if required. When the drill program continues in May the company will focus on four large \"Bull's Eye\" areas of high copper, gold and molybdenum con...
