(TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or \"Benchmark\") is pleased to announce new results from a series of drill holes at the AGB zone that have returned from surface up to 122.00 metres (m) of 1.30 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 32.16 g/t silver or 1.70 g/t gold equivalent* (AuEq) including 54.00 m of 2.22 g/t gold and 42.08 g/t silver or 2.74 g/t AuEq. These broad zones of mineralization are 175 metres south of any historical underground workings at AGB. Drilling to date has now outlined near surface gold-silver mineralization over a 650+ m strike length and to 270 m vertical depth. 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, \"The AGB zone continues to deliver exceptional results from surface, while delivering continuity and consistent grade down to over 270 metre vertical depth. This growing zone has the potential to provide open-pitable gold and silver ounces that will add substantial ounces to the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company awaits additional results from AGB that could increase the total tonnage in this zone. This area still remains open in all directions for expansion drilling in 2021.\"Drill holes 20AGBDD0045/46/47 were designed to infill and test the continuity of mineralization at the southern extent of the AGB zone. Two of these holes (20AGBDD045/46) were testing the upper shallower part of the mineralizing system and intersected broad zones of bulk-tonnage mineralization from surface (Table 1). Drill hole 20AGBDD047, on the same section was testing the deeper extent of this zone, below the 2019 exploration modelled pit shell (Figure 2). Both bulk-tonnage and high-grade mineralization were intercepted in this hole including, 55.00 m of 1.61 g/t gold and 14.04 g/t silver or 1.79 g/t AuEq and 1.00 m of 31.40 g/t gold and 17.95 g/t silver or 31.62 g/t AuEq. Collectively these strong results confirm the southern extent of the AGB zone has a broad envelope of mineralization that extends from surface to depth and remains open.Table 1: Drill Results Summary from the AGB Zone.
