“Benchmark investors are being rewarded by significant share appreciation as we continue to deliver on our accelerated plans and promises,” Mr Williamson said.
“Eric Sprott has been a major investor and supporter of Benchmark since 2019, significantly increasing his ownership level with consistent participation in our placements and by exercising his warrants.
“Mr Sprott’s support provides significant strength as we work towards building Canada’s next major gold-silver mine.”
