Benz Discovers 4th High Grade Gold Lens at Zone 126

BZ · Price

Executive Summary

  • Maiden RC hole 25GLR082 intersected a new, high‑grade fourth lens at Zone 126 – 17 m @ 6.0 g/t Au from 662 m (partial results).
  • The intercept validates Benz’s structural model, which has already predicted three lenses and now confirms a fourth, with a fifth lens under test.
  • Ongoing drilling continues to extend existing lenses (including the third lens) and explore additional targets across the Glenburgh Gold Project, indicating significant upside potential for multi‑million‑ounce gold resources.

Key Details

  • New Fourth Lens Intercept – Hole 25GLR082: 17 m @ 6.0 g/t Au from 662 m to 679 m (partial assay).
  • Recent High‑Grade Intercepts (for context)
  • 44 m @ 4.6 g/t Au (hole 25GLR070) – reported 11 Sep 2025.
  • 47 m @ 1.9 g/t Au (hole 25GLR057).
  • Additional Recent Intercepts from Ongoing RC Program
  • 11 m @ 19.9 g/t Au (GBZ126‑010)
  • 39 m @ 5.1 g/t Au (25GLR022)
  • 10 m @ 12.9 g/t Au (25GLR027)
  • 10 m @ 6.1 g/t Au (25GLR033)
  • 11 m @ 5.5 g/t Au (25GLR039)
  • 20 m @ 2.6 g/t Au (25GLR035)
  • 5 m @ 13.5 g/t Au (25GLR037)

  • Drilling Program – One RC rig focused on Zone 126; two rigs drilling the bulk‑tonnage Apollo‑Icon trend; a fourth rig en route to scout new targets along the 18 km Glenburgh corridor.

  • Structural Model – Validated by discovery of four lenses; predicts a fifth lens currently being tested and further depth extensions for lenses 1‑4, all open at depth.
  • Project Scale – Zone 126 occupies < ⅓ of the mineralised corridor; the broader Glenburgh Gold Project hosts historic resources of 16.3 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au (≈ 510 koz) and a 1.0 Mt @ 9.0 g/t Au resource at Mt Egerton.
  • Future Plans – Additional holes to delineate the fourth lens, continue step‑out drilling of the third lens, and target the fifth lens; ongoing bulk‑tonnage drilling on the Apollo‑Icon trend.

Notable Quotes

“The discovery of a fourth high‑grade lens at Zone 126 is a breakthrough moment for Glenburgh… With four lenses now confirmed and a fifth already being tested, Zone 126 is rapidly evolving into a multi‑lens, kilometre‑scale system with exceptional ounce‑growth potential.” – Mark Lynch‑Staunton, CEO
