[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCBB: BNNHF) (“BHM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional assay results at the Benjamin Hill property, comprised of the Sonora Gold and Sonora Copper concessions: Chip samples of 10.1 g/t Au and 10.0 g/t Au and multiple samples ranging 1.0 – 3.8 g/t Au during first pass sampling in the new La Salada East mapping area (Figures 1 & 2 and Table 1.). The exploration work on the Sonora Gold property continues to show a larger extent of known gold mineralization. BHM geologists encountered the above noted mineralization while following up on a geochemical anomaly revealed during the December stream sediment sampling campaign that coincided with the occurrence of historical mining in the La Salada East mapping area. BHM geologists collected 45 rock chip samples during the prospecting and mapping of the La Salada East area. Geologists noted occurrences of quartz veining and quartz breccias often with chalcopyrite, galena and hematite, limonite and ‘boxwork’ pyrite. This type of geology and mineral assemblage is seen associated with gold mineralization in the Caracahui, Sonora Copper and Caracahui Norte exploration areas to the west of the La Salada East exploration area. Greg Bronson, P.Geo., President of Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. states that “BHM geologists have extended the limits of known mineralization into an entirely new area of the Sonora Gold property that has never seen systematic exploration. The mineralized system is now traceable over an even broader east-west area to complement an already established and impressively long north-south trend. We believe we are looking at a big, gold endowed system that is showing us the right geological indicators for an epithermal gold deposit close to the surface and a significant Cu-Au porphyry system at depth.” Advancing Plans for Drill Program BHM expects to receive drill permits in early June and is finalizing drill program planning, targeting the most prospective geology in the Sonora Gold mineral concession. BHM Geologists continue to follow up on additional stream sediment sample anomalies and expose more hereto unexplored area of the Sonora Gold tenure to modern systematic exploration methods.
