(TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the "Company" or "Benchmark") - is pleased to announce new results from the ongoing drilling at Cliff Creek where multiple holes intersected broad zones of significant bulk-tonnage mineralization below all previous drilling, confirming the mineralizing system remains strong and open at depth. The Cliff Creek Zone is currently the largest mineralized area on the Lawyers project extending for +1.2 kilometres on-strike with mineralization beginning at surface. Benchmark's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver Project is located in a road-accessible area of the Golden Horseshoe in north-central British Columbia, Canada.
Project Highlights:
Drilling continues to define strong mineralization from surface to a vertical depth of >300 metres at Cliff Creek.

45.86 m of 1.17 g/t gold and 30.06 g/t silver or 1.55 g/t AuEq in 20CCDD015 (Figure 1).
