(TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQB: CYRTF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or\"Benchmark\") - Benchmark is pleased to report continued drilling success from the Amethyst Gold Breccia (AGB) Zone. Drilling intersected two discrete zones of mineralization in 19AGBDD007 including an upper zone of 1.10 g/t gold and 41.62 g/t silver over 42.15 metres of core length and a high-grade lower zone of 30.2 g/t gold and 1,361 g/t silver over 2.95 metres of core length (Table 1). Benchmark also reports encouraging results 200 metres along strike to the south in 19AGBDD002 which yielded 1.16 g/t gold and 30.56 g/t silver over 67 metres of core length. The results have expanded the AGB Zone to a drill indicated strike length of nearly 400 metres and vertical depth of 170 metres. The Lawyers Project is situated in the Stikine Terrane of northern British Columbia, Canada, and falls within the prolific, mineral endowed 'Golden Horseshoe'.John Williamson, CEO commented, \"Drilling at AGB continues to yield fantastic results below and along strike from the historical mining. Our drilling is demonstrating strong continuity of the mineralizing system beyond its previously known extents and identifying historically unrecognized bulk tonnage potential, representing a significant opportunity to add gold and silver ounces to the Lawyers Project.\" Table #1.
