(TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or \"Benchmark\") is pleased to announce new results from the southern portion of the Cliff Creek deposit area (Cliff Creek South - CCS) where drilling has intersected broad zones of bulk-tonnage and high-grade mineralization including 107.80 metres (m) of 2.00 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 46.84 g/t silver or 2.59 g/t gold equivalent* (AuEq) and 20.80 m of 10.24 g/t Au and 19.74 g/t Ag or 10.91 g/t AuEq. The CCS zone continues to broaden at depth with higher gold-silver grades. The area is showing potential for open-pit resources at surface and high-grade material at depth for underground mining. 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 Cliff Creek South area continues to yield broad zones of bulk tonnage delivering the potential for open pit mining at surface. In addition, CCS is providing similarities to the Cliff Creek North zone with high-grade intervals at depth, demonstrating potential for future underground mining opportunities. Additionally, we continue to expand beyond the limits of our 2019 modeled pit shell with the latest result from hole 20CCDD098 of 38.05 m of 5.80 g/t AuEq and that recently reported from 20CCDD076, 140 m below it. As we look towards our 2021 drill program both of these results demonstrate the excellent potential to expand this zone at depth and to the southeast.\"Figure 1 - Cliff Creek South long section To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6169/78214_9253c7cd64e46bfe_001full.jpgThese latest results from CCS continue to; Confirm the continuity of this robust mineralizing system with excellent infill drilling results; Demonstrate that mineralization is within broad zones of bulk-tonnage mineralization, often with many mineralized zones outside of the main interval (Table 2), potentially reducing the strip ratio (Figure 3);Deliver strong results from outside of our 2019 $1600 modelled pit shell, therefore expanding the dimensions of the deposit that remains open at depth and along strik...
