Expands Mineralisation To Over 500 Vertical Metres Depth
Benchmark Metals Inc. (TSXV: BNCH) has intersected the deepest gold-silver mineralisation to date at the northern portion of the Cliff Creek deposit at the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project in British Columbia.
Hole 20CCDD072 intersected significant high-grade mineralisation at over 500m vertical depth, further extending mineralisation below the base of our 2019 exploration target open pit model.
CEO, John Williamson, said the new results include many of the outstanding holes from the deep drilling at Cliff Creek North (CCN) and demonstrate the exceptional continuity of mineralisation from surface to depth.
Benchmark’s flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is road accessible and located within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia
“Today’s results are successfully expanding gold and silver to new depths,” Mr Williamson said.
“The Cliff Creek North area is providing continuous, impressive grades from surface with high-grade material at depth.
“The mineralised system is now showing potential for open-pit and high-grade underground mining at lower levels.
“The robust results from these deep holes continue to confirm our geological model and indicate that this mineralising system remains strong and open at depth.”
Cliff Creek North (CCN) is a sub-zone of the +1.2-kilometre Cliff Creek Zone. The CCN area now measures +300m on-strike length and has drill indicated gold-silver mineralization to +500m depth.
The entire Cliff Creek Zone remains open in all directions and shows strong potential for more expansion at depth in high-grade material.
