Benchmark Metals (BNCH) has signed an agreement with the Tahltan Central Government (TCG) to support Benchmark’s exploration program at the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project.
The project is located in the prolific metal-endowed Stikine Terrane, British Columbia.
The agreement establishes collaborative processes to support the constructive engagement of the TCG in Benchmark’s exploration program at the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project and ensure the TCG can meaningfully participate in all aspects of the exploration program and the associated economic benefits.
The agreement is an important step towards developing a strong collaborative relationship with TCG and advancing Benchmark’s gold-silver project.
The agreement is a crucial component towards obtaining a license for the mine and is intended to form the basis of a more significant agreement when the project advances toward regulatory approvals for an operational mine.
Benchmark will work with the First Nation and advance the project in a sustainable manner that provides social and economic opportunities.
“Building a collaborative and meaningful relationship with TCG will enable continued success to advance the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project to a mining decision,” said John Williamson, CEO.
“Benchmark is rapidly advancing its Project that continues to deliver near-term results and major milestones during 2022 and 2023,” he added.
The signing of this collaborative agreement is considered a major achievement to advance the company’s project to a production scenario.
The purpose of the TCG is to define and protect Tahltan inherent aboriginal rights and title, to protect the eco-systems and natural resources of Tahltan traditional territory through pursuing sustainable economic development, and to strengthen the cultural wellness of the Tahltan Community by promoting traditional values based on the concepts of caring, sharing, cooperation, truth, honour, fairness and above all, respect.
Benchmark Metals Inc. is a gold and silver company advancing its wholly-owned Lawyer’s Gold-Silver Project located in the prolific Golden Horseshoe of northern British Columbia, Canada.
Benchmark Metals Inc. was down 9.412 per cent, trading at $0.77 at 10:32 AM ET.
