Benz Strengthens New High Grade Gold Lens at Zone 126

Executive Summary

  • Benz Mining reports multiple high‑grade underground intercepts from step‑out drilling at the Third Lens of Zone 126, including a standout 44 m @ 4.6 g/t Au and a 47 m @ 1.9 g/t Au.
  • The results validate Benz’s structural targeting model, confirming two new lenses and defining prospective locations for Lenses 4‑5 along strike.
  • All three existing lenses remain open at depth; drilling is fully funded with three rigs on site and a fourth rig arriving shortly, underscoring significant upside potential for the Glenburgh Gold Project.

Key Details

  • Third Lens intercepts:
  • 44 m @ 4.6 g/t Au from 475 m (hole 25GLR‑070) – part of a broader 103 m zone @ 2.3 g/t Au.

  • 47 m @ 1.9 g/t Au from 451 m (hole 25GLR‑057).

  • Additional high‑grade results from ongoing RC program:

  • 11 m @ 19.9 g/t Au (GBZ126‑010)
  • 39 m @ 5.1 g/t Au (25GLR‑022)
  • 10 m @ 12.9 g/t Au (25GLR‑027)
  • 10 m @ 6.1 g/t Au (25GLR‑033)
  • 11 m @ 5.5 g/t Au (25GLR‑039)
  • 20 m @ 2.6 g/t Au (25GLR‑035)

  • 5 m @ 13.5 g/t Au (25GLR‑037)

  • Bulk‑potential intercepts:

  • 123 m @ 1.86 g/t Au (incl. 103 m @ 2.3 g/t Au) from 475–598 m in hole 25GLR‑070.

  • 47 m @ 1.94 g/t Au from 451–498 m in hole 25GLR‑057.

  • Drilling program:

  • One RC rig currently extending step‑out results; two additional rigs drilling the Apollo‑Icon trend; a fourth rig scheduled to arrive within weeks.

  • All work fully funded; third rig already mobilised.

  • Structural model outcome:

  • Model has successfully delivered Lenses 1‑3 and identified prospective locations for Lenses 4‑5 based on mapped secondary shear zones intersecting the mineralised horizon.

  • Project context:

  • Glenburgh Gold Project hosts an 18–20 km mineralised corridor; Zone 126 now recognized as a multi‑lens, kilometre‑scale underground system.

  • Historical resource (Glenburgh) of 16.3 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au (~510 k oz) and Eastmain (Quebec) of 1.0 Mt @ 6.1 g/t Au (~1.0 M oz).

  • CEO Quote (Mark Lynch‑Staunton): Emphasised the thickness of the system, validation of structural targeting, and accelerated drilling with three rigs on site and a fourth imminent.

Notable Quotes

“The latest results from the Third Lens at Zone 126 highlight just how thick this system can get… Every hole we drill is part of a bigger picture – building our confidence in Zone 126 as an evolving, multi‑lens, kilometre‑scale gold system.” – Mark Lynch‑Staunton, CEO
