HIGHLIGHTS
- Mineralised Mine Horizon intercepted between 936.3m to 970.5m (downhole)
- Visible gold observed at 942.6m (deepest drilling on Project to date)
- Electromagnetics targeting allowed for wide +100m spaced step-outs drill holes
- D Zone mineralisation has now been identified over 1,400m downdip / plunge starting near surface and extending to 885.0m vertical depth
- Geological continuity of the Mine Horizon established over the whole 1,400m
- Current intercept approximately 500m down dip of Benz's best intercept to date of 7.9m at 35.9g/t gold in the same mineralised horizon
- Multiple mineralised horizons are present in the hanging wall with all drillholes intercepting shallower mineralisation underlined by multiple levels of EM conductors
- Assays for 62 holes completed in 2021 still pending screen fire assays of mineralised zones, 16 with observed visible gold
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 16, 2022) - Benz Mining Corp. (TSXV: BZ) (ASX: BNZ) (the Company or Benz) is pleased to announce that drillhole EM21-228, completed earlier on in the drilling season, intercepted the Mine Horizon at D Zone at a depth of 885.0m below surface (vertical depth). The horizon is gold bearing as 21 small (sub-millimetric) specs of visible gold have been identified by the logging geologists at 942.6m depth (core).
CEO, Xavier Braud, commented:
"This is an excellent result. Once again, we prove that our targeting method is extremely well suited to the style of mineralisation seen at Eastmain. We are still working through a large gold system with multiple high grade gold occurrences identified over 10km of strike."
