Benz Drilling Highlights Exciting Expansion Potential at Glenburgh Gold Project

In This Article:

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Drilling at Zone 126 has intersected high-grade gold mineralisation in a position consistent with Benz's structural interpretation for a third high grade mineralised lens, returning 2m at 6.8g/t Au from 295m (GBZ014).

  • The intercept is interpreted to represent the outer edge of the lens, with potential for mineralisation to thicken toward the core, a pattern observed in the two previously defined lenses at Zone 126.

  • This result is highly encouraging and further validates the exploration model providing compelling encouragement ahead of drilling recommencement in late May, where this high-priority target will be the immediate focus.

  • Significant scale confirmed between Icon and Apollo, with drilling returning an intercept of 220m at 0.37g/t Au from 181m (GBZ015), including 124m at 0.52g/t Au - highlighting the scale potential of the Glenburgh mineralised system.

  • This wide zone of gold mineralisation sits directly within the strategic gap between the Icon and Apollo deposits, reinforcing the potential to define a continuous, large scale gold system. With the hole ending in mineralisation, the extent of the system remains wide open and highly prospective.

  • Drill rig secured to recommence drilling in the later part of May 2025.

Benz CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, commented:

"Intersecting high-grade gold in positions consistent with Benz's structural interpretation for a third high grade mineralised lens is an exciting step for the team - it further supports our structural model and exploration strategy. We're eager to get the rig turning again in late May to follow this up.

"At the same time, the wide mineralised intercepts between Icon and Apollo highlight the true scale potential of the Glenburgh system. While high-grade discovery remains our priority, the emerging bulk mineralisation potential adds another layer of growth and flexibility.

"Our geologists are actively mapping across the untested northeast fold plunge targets, with the program set to continue unlocking new areas and building a strong pipeline of high-quality drill targets throughout the year. With the RC rig scheduled to return in late May, we are well positioned to maintain momentum and accelerate our exploration efforts.
