Benchmark Metals (BNCH) has started a property-wide exploration program for 2021 at its flagship project.

The Alberta-based company’s Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is road accessible and located within the Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.

The extensive program utilizes a proven methodology with a track record of success. Together with the scope and scale of the 2021 program, the company anticipates the methodology could discover significant gold-silver ounces in satellite deposits across the largely under-explored land package.

The property consists of a 145-square-kilometre land package.

“Benchmark well exceeded expectations with its current mineral resource estimate and sees near-term potential for the upcoming drill program to deliver significant gold-silver ounces at Lawyers in terms of both quantity and quality. Our exploration strategy dovetails exceptionally well with resource definition drilling as we continue to generate new drill targets. While many explorers in the Golden Horseshoe are planning 5,000 to 20,000 metre drill programs this year, Benchmark will drill at least 100,000 fully-funded metres,” said Benchmark CEO John Williamson.

Benchmark Metals is unchanged, trading at C$1.11 at 12:52 pm ET.
