[{"type":"text","content":"Benchmark Drills 4.82 Metres of 20.48 g/t Gold Equivalent at Cliff Creek North Zone, Expanding Mineralization at DepthEdmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2021) - Benchmark Metals Inc. (TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or \"Benchmark\") is pleased to announce new results from a series of drill holes at the northern portion of the Cliff Creek deposit that demonstrate the exceptional continuity of high grade and bulk-tonnage mineralization from surface to over 500 metres (m) vertical depth. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is road accessible and located within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"The Cliff Creek North area continues to provide long intervals of bulk-tonnage material and narrower high-grade results. The northern portion of Cliff Creek is yielding high-grade gold and silver at surface, offering a starter-pit opportunity that could deliver robust economic returns. The drilling is demonstrating strong gold and silver continuity from surface to over 500 metres vertical depth. The recent results have provided more evidence of both open-pit and underground high-grade potential. The Project is exhibiting world-class mining potential with three zones to be included in a near-term mineral resource estimate and potential for more discoveries during the 2021 exploration program.\"Figure 1 - Cliff Creek North Zone long section, see Figure 2 for section window.To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6169/80003_67d32b53f442bb6d_001full.jpgContinuity of MineralizationDrill holes 20CCDD079 and 20CCDD106 were designed to test the continuity of the mineralization down dip and along strike. Hole 20CCDD079 was drilled to the northwest and returned from surface 54.72 m of 2.86 g/t gold (Au) and 152.18 g/t silver (Ag) or 4.76 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq), including 4.00 m of 13.64 g/t Au and 649.13 g/t Ag or 21.76 g/t AuEq. This zone of high-grade mineralization demonstrates excellent continuity extending over 150 metres along strike (Figure 1) and to depth from surface. Drill hole 20CCDD106 was drilled to the southwest, down-dip, and returned 112.62 m of 1.02 g/t Au and 67.91 g/t Ag or 1.87 g/t AuEq, including 5.92 m of 7.64 g/t Au and 577.67 g/t Ag or 14.86 g/t AuEq.
