Benjamin Hill Confirms Mineralization at Depth at the Sonora Gold Property

24.08.2021  |  Globenewswire Europe

VANCOUVER, Aug. 24, 2021 - Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCBB: BNNHF) ("BHM" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm that assays of channel samples collected underground in the Guadalupe and Cascabel adits have confirmed the presence of gold and copper mineralization in the subsurface.

No previous documentation on assay values or production numbers are known or available for the two adits. The underground work now completed by BHM geologists is considered a first look with modern systematic methods into the occurrence of mineralization in the subsurface.

In the Guadalupe adit, channel samples SG2948 and SG2949 collected over 2m intervals returned gold values of 9.6g/t and 8.4 g/t respectively. Additionally, channel samples SG2956, SG2953 and SG 2955 collected over 2m intervals returned copper values of 4.3%, 3.5% and 2.1% respectively.

In the Cascabel adit, channel samples SG2990, SG2939 and SG 2989 collected over 1.5m channel lengths returned 7.7g/t, 2.2g/t and 2.2g/t respectively. Additionally, channel samples SG2999, SG2919, SG2988 and SG2987 each collected over 1.5m intervals, returned copper assays of 2.9%, 2.5%, 2.4% and 2.1% respectively.

Tables 1 through 4 list the highlights of the underground sampling program:

Calculated composites of channel samples were created to present an average grade of mineralization present over a larger area. Table 5 below lists the results of the calculated composites.

Composite 1 14 1.54 0.41 26.76
Composite 2 7.5 0.67 0.66 27.92
Composite 3 7.5 0.83 0.38 19.44
Composite 4 7.5 1.82 0.88 44.20
Composite 5 7.5 0.53 0.48 15.27

The positive results of the underground sampling program proves that surface gold and copper mineralization extends to depth and supports BHM's model of a copper-gold epithermal system. BHM geologists have previously mapped copper-gold mineralized structures over 8km cumulative length often attaining widths of 10's of meters. The results of the adit sampling work supports the rational that the mineralized structures are drill ready targets.

Greg Bronson, P.Geo., President of Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. states: "The work completed to date has revealed the extensive nature of mineralization on the property. Results of our exploration program reinforces our model of an epithermal copper-gold endowed system that could extend into a Cu-Au porphyry system at depth. Our systematic approach for exploring the property has paid off and the positive results we have received bode very well for the next phase of exploration which is diamond drilling. With drill ready targets in hand, BHM geologists are preparing to return to the field and kick off the inaugural drill program on this never drilled before property."

Figures 1 & 2 illustrate the gold assay results from channel samples collected in the Guadalupe and Cascabel Adits. Figures 1 & 2 also illustrate the locations of the composite samples and contain inset tables listing the composite sample results. Composite sample lengths are not true widths, true widths are not known at this time.
