VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCBB: BNNHF) (“BHM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional assay results at the Benjamin Hill property, comprised of the Sonora Gold and Sonora Copper concessions: Chip samples of 10.1 g/t Au and 10.0 g/t Au and multiple samples ranging 1.0 – 3.8 g/t Au during first pass sampling in the new La Salada East mapping area (Figures 1 & 2 and Table 1.).
The exploration work on the Sonora Gold property continues to show a larger extent of known gold mineralization. BHM geologists encountered the above noted mineralization while following up on a geochemical anomaly revealed during the December stream sediment sampling campaign that coincided with the occurrence of historical mining in the La Salada East mapping area. BHM geologists collected 45 rock chip samples during the prospecting and mapping of the La Salada East area. Geologists noted occurrences of quartz veining and quartz breccias often with chalcopyrite, galena and hematite, limonite and ‘boxwork’ pyrite. This type of geology and mineral assemblage is seen associated with gold mineralization in the Caracahui, Sonora Copper and Caracahui Norte exploration areas to the west of the La Salada East exploration area.
