Benchmark Metals Inc. (TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) announce the start of resource expansion and definition drilling in British Columbia, Canada.
The company has already completed in excess of 15,700m of drilling with two drill rigs positioned at the Cliff Creek deposit and two at the AGB deposit. Two additional diamond rigs will be added in the coming weeks.
The company has aggressively advanced new target areas with significant work completed to date that includes geophysics, mapping and soil and rock sampling.
Sample shipments to the laboratory are progressing, and initial drill assay results are anticipated in early August. Benchmark’s flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is road accessible and located within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia.
CEO, John Williamson, said that to date, 2021 drilling has focused on expansion and conversion to the indicated category at the AGB and Cliff Creek deposit areas. Drilling at the Marmot and Silver Pond discoveries and additional exploration targets will begin in the coming weeks.
“The company is operating one of the largest drill programs in Canada. Initial drilling has started and will target significant expansion areas to be included in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate,” Mr Williamson said.
“Benchmark has planned a minimum of 100,000 drill metres to aggressively expand the deposit areas and generate new gold-silver ounces from new targets. The regional exploration and drill program will find new discoveries.”
