Benz Mining Corp.: Benz Mining: 50,000m Diamond Drilling Program and Large Surface EM Survey Underway at Eastmain
First target of 2021 drill season is the newly identified footwall conductors
Numerous untested conductors from the 2020 EM campaign to be drilled in priority
FLEM underway covering 3km of potential strike extent of two trends (main mine trend and new hangingwall trend) with 2.13g/t Au rock chip sample at surface and 1m at 6.3g/t Au in an isolated shallow historical drillhole
Additional VTEM targets 1km in the hangingwall of the mine trend potentially linked to an untested additional conductive trend
2020 drilling assays expected in coming weeks
Benz Mining Corp.: Benz Mining: Electromagnetics Identify New Conductive Trend in Footwall of Eastmain Mine
HIGHLIGHTS
Re-processing of FLEM identified a large conductor in the footwall of the existing resource at A Zone (376,000oz at 7.9gpt gold)
Last DHEM survey of historical hole in 2020 identified off-hole conductors 200m in the footwall of A Zone confirming FLEM modelled plate
These conductors represent a potential 3rd trend to be tested in upcoming drill programs
Exploration expected to restart in January with 50,000m drill program and additional EM surveys to identify further targets across other trends with VTEM anomalies
Results from 2020 drill program expected shortly
Benz Mining Corp.: Highly Successful Maiden Exploration Campaign Identifies New Mineralized Trend at Eastmain
Maiden 7,110m, 12-hole diamond drill program successfully completed at Eastmain
Drilling targeted a combination of fixed-loop and borehole electromagnetic conductors identified in the recent geophysics campaigns
110 line-km FLEM survey identified multiple conductors along strike of the known Eastmain Mine mineralization and highlighted potential structural repeats and new parallel mineralized horizons
BHEM in 38 historical drill holes identified target extensions to known mineralized zones
All holes drilled this year have intersected quartz veins associated with sulphides
Visible gold identified in the first holes drilled into a new undrilled parallel trend
