Benchmark (BNCH) has extended gold and silver mineralization at its Lawyers Project in B.C.
The expansion, centred on the Dukes Ridge Deposit, is highlighted by 57 m core length of 1.72 g/t gold and 64.41 g/t silver, including 9.06 m of 6.87 g/t gold and 182.72 g/t silver in drill hole 22DRDD022.
The results have extended known mineralization to >170 m below the 2021 mineral resource estimate (MRE) pit shell to over 325 m vertical depth from surface. Dukes’ strike length now exceeds 850 m.
High-grade shoots within intervals of bulk-tonnage mineralization continue to accumulate with each phase of drilling outside of the pit shell.
Significant expansion potential exists as mineralization remains open to the north, south and at depth.
The imminent updated MRE will include these latest results.
“We expect Dukes to contribute additional gold-silver ounces to the project with continued drilling,” stated John Williamson, Benchmark’s CEO. “The Dukes Deposit has sparse historical drilling relative to the AGB and Cliff Creek Deposits and this provides an opportunity to deliver more gold and silver.”
