(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 now extends for over 650 metres (m) strike length and to 270 m vertical depth and remains open. Drill hole 20AGBDD023 returned two significant mineralized zones; an upper zone of 14.00 m of 2.10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 622.57 g/t silver or 9.88 g/t gold equivalent* (AuEq) including 1.54 m of 17.96 g/t gold and 5216.68 g/t silver or 83.17 g/t AuEq and a lower zone of 9.66 m of 3.42 g/t gold and 287.79 g/t silver or 7.01 g/t AuEq. A defining characteristic of the AGB zone compared to Cliff Creek or Dukes Ridge is the much higher silver values, with nine intervals above 300 g/t silver in Table 1. These and previously reported 2020 program results at AGB (see Oct 20th 2020, and Jan 29th 2021 news releases) have the potential to increase tonnage and gold-silver grade for the forthcoming release of a maiden global (Cliff Creek/Dukes Ridge/AGB) bulk-tonnage Mineral Resource Estimate during Q1 2021. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is located in a road-accessible area of the Golden Horseshoe in north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"The AGB zone continues to yield exceptional results of high-grade mineralization within broader envelopes of mineralization, that essentially begin at surface. These results at AGB continue to add gold and silver ounces and expand the known mineralization, positively impacting our definition of the resource. The AGB zone is yielding higher grades and expanding beyond initial interpretation, we anticipate that this area will continue adding gold-silver ounces as new results are received over the coming weeks.\"Todays results are distributed across a strike length of greater than 500 metres and share many of the same characteristics: bulk-tonnage and high-grade mineralization, near-surface mineralization extending to depth, and multiple parallel zones, confirming the robust nature of this extensive mineralizing system. Two drill hole results that demonstrat...
