(TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the \"Company\" or \"Benchmark\") is pleased to announce new results from southern portion of the Cliff Creek deposit area (Cliff Creek South- CCS) drilling has intersected broad zones of high-grade bulk-tonnage mineralization including 64.00 metres (m) of 2.29 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 191.3 g/t silver or 4.68 g/t gold equivalent* (AuEq) at depth. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is located, via road-access, within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.This latest result in hole 20CCDD055 at CCS equates to a 300-gram AuEq times metre (g/tAuEq*m) product. This intercept is at a vertical depth of about 350 m below surface and about100 m below the recently reported 221.53 m of 1.01 g/t AuEq in hole 20CCDD021 (see Nov 6th 2020 news release) indicating the mineralizing system exists from surface and continues to improve at depth. Additional holes drilled by Benchmark at CCS over a strike length of 300 m and 350 m depth also contain significant mineralization of similar width and tenor including 128.10 m of 1.65 g/t gold and 110.02 g/t silver or 3.02 g/t gold equivalent (see Nov 6th 2020 news release). At CCS four of the fifteen drill holes, which are awaiting results, intersected visual gold/silver mineralization (Figure 2). John Williamson, CEO, commented, \"The CCS zone is yielding long intercepts of gold and silver mineralization over a strike length of 300 m and at least 350 m depth and remains open. This sub-section of the Cliff Creek deposit should enhance gold-silver tonnages and grade in the upcoming 2021 Cliff Creek Resource Estimate. The CCS zone is showing impressive tonnage and grade potential that mirrors the Cliff Creek North zone. The total size of the Cliff Creek deposit has increased to +1.2 km strike length and at least 550 m in depth and is open.\"Cliff Creek South Highlights:During 2020, 54,101 m in 162 drill holes were completed at Cliff Creek; At Cliff Creek, drilling has expanded gold-silver mineralization to over a 1.2 km strike length and at least 550 m verti...
