[{"type":"text","content":"Benchmark Drills 30 Metres of 2.81 g/t Gold Equivalent and Delineates 400 Metres Strike-Length of Mineralization in New ZoneEdmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2021) - Benchmark Metals Inc. (TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or \"Benchmark\") is pleased to announce new results from exploration drilling at the Marmot Zone, including 30.00 metres (m) core length of 1.93 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 70.33 g/t silver or 2.81 g/t gold equivalent* (AuEq) in drill hole 21MLDD004 (Figure 1). The mineralizing system remains open in all directions and continues to display similarities to the resource deposit areas on the property, with both bulk tonnage and high-grade mineralization intercepted in multiple drill holes. The drill results align with significant surface mineralization that delineates a mineralized footprint that extends approximately 400 metres in strike-length and remains open (Figure 1), with current drilling focusing on identifying structural controls of the system together with defining at-surface material. The Marmot discoveries are situated ~3 kilometres southeast of Benchmark's multi-million ounce gold-silver deposits on its flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project, located within a road accessible region of the prolific Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"The Marmot Zone continues to return significant gold and silver intercepts at-surface and at depth with a style of mineralization and alteration that is very comparable to our Cliff Creek deposit. These new results help demonstrate the continuity of this mineralizing system as it continues to grow in scope and scale, with the potential to add significant gold-silver ounces that would be peripheral to our current resource zones.\"Additional new results from surface include (Table 1): 11.00 m (core length) of 2.94 g/t gold and 4.36 g/t silver or 2.99 g/t AuEq* in drill hole 21MLD0067.50 m (core length) of 2.01 g/t gold and 168.25 g/t silver or 4.11 g/t AuEq* including 1.00 m of 7.29 g/t gold and 557.00 g/t silver or 14.25 g/t AuEq* in drill hole 21MLDD0025.85 m (core length) of 1.57 g/t gold and 77.61 g/t silver or 2.54 g/t AuEq* in drill hole 21MLDD003 30.00 m (core length) of 0.9 g/t gold and 15.52 g/t silver or 1.09 g/t AuEq* in drill hole 21MLDD004Drilling at the Marm...
