The extensive program utilizes a proven methodology with a track record of success (Marmot Zone - see Jan 13th release). Together with the scope and scale of this year's program, the Company anticipates its methodology could discover significant gold-silver ounces in satellite deposits across the largely underexplored 145 km2 land package. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is road accessible and located within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"Benchmark well exceeded expectations with its current mineral resource estimate and sees near-term potential for the upcoming drill program to deliver significant gold-silver ounces at Lawyers in terms of both quantity and quality. Our exploration strategy dovetails exceptionally well with resource definition drilling as we continue to generate new drill targets. While many explorers in the Golden Horseshoe are planning 5,000 to 20,000 metre drill programs this year, Benchmark will drill at least 100,000 fully-funded metres.\" Exploration program highlights:Up to 50,000 metres of exploratory diamond drilling including Marmot, Marmot East, Lala, Silver Pond, Guilfords Edge and a number of new targets.Initial 10,000 metres planned at MarmotDetailed ground magnetic surveys to delineate structures that potentially control or host mineralization.315 line kilometres planned in four different survey areasAirborne VTEM geophysical and radiometric survey spanning the southern half of the project to identify EM and potassic anomalies associated with porphyry and epithermal mineralization.621 line kilometres at 100 metre spacingGround Induced Polarization (IP) surveys to delineate subsurface chargeability and resistivity anomalies that are associated with mineralization. 66.5 line kilometers covering 5 km2 over three survey areas, including Marmot and extensions at Silver Pond Extensive soil sampling surveys to expand and explore for new anomalies across the dis...
