In addition to testing the near-surface continuity of mineralization, drill holes 21AGBDD054 and 21AGBDD055 were designed to evaluate the geotechnical properties of the rock mass as well as hydrogeological regime of the pit area. These cost-effective multi-purpose drill holes were successful in continuing to delineate high-grade continuity of near-surface mineralization at the southernmost extent of the AGB zone (Figure 2) while also providing the geotechnical and hydrogeological data necessary to design the overall pit slope for future engineering studies. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is located within a road-accessible region of the prolific Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"The 2021 drill program has intersected near-surface high-grade mineralization within the pit shells modeled in 2021 and could potentially add significant resources in the near-term Mineral Resource update. As these results continue to expand the limits of the mineralization, further drilling in 2022 will continue to expand resource potential in all directions.\"HighlightsRobust mineralization near the southernmost extent of the AGB zone and south of historical mining including 37.50 m of 2.15 g/t gold and 46.76 g/t silver or 2.74 g/t AuEq with at-surface 2.50 m of 22.62 g/t gold and 120.26 g/t silver or 24.13 g/t AuEq in drill hole 21AGBDD054, and;Potential for improved economics and reduced strip ratio by adding near-surface, open-pittable gold and silver ounces to the AGB Deposit, and;Last of the drill results from AGB that will support the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), future drilling will go...
