Benjamin Hill Confirms New Mineralization Discovery Sampling Values as High as 20.0 g/t of Au
Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN, OTCBB: BNNHF) reported promising new assay results from the Sonora Gold concession, highlighting high-grade gold occurrences in the central area. Recent results reveal a significant gold concentration of up to 20.0 g/t Au, along with promising silver values exceeding 200 g/t. The exploration has expanded the known mineralization area, now a 3 by 3 km target region for future drilling, enhancing the project’s economic potential. The company continues to explore new targets, bolstering its position in the competitive gold mining sector.
- New assay results show gold concentrations of up to 20.0 g/t Au.
- Silver values reported exceed 200 g/t.
- Expansion of mineralization area to 3 by 3 km increases potential for future drilling.
- None.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCBB: BNNHF) (“BHM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that new assay results at the Benjamin Hill property, showcasing the high grade mineralization occurrence on the central area of the Sonora Gold concession, with previous values reported in the north of the area as high as 9.5 g/t of Au, the newly arrived results expose information of structures with up to 20.0 g/t of Au at the eastern part of the area and values that ascend to 6.1, 4.4 and 3.6 g/t of Au to the south and silver values that surpass 200 g/t. The assays related to the Caracahui N (El Fierro) area reaffirm a previously known North-South trend to exist, increasing the potential of the economically interest surface to a 3 by 3 kms of mineralization, which turns this area in a new target for the future drill program (Table 1 and Figure 1).
The exploration work on the property continues to expand the extent of known gold mineralization and gives our field teams new and exciting targets which remain to be explored.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
All rock samples were selected by a BHM geologist. Sample tags were placed into each bag before being sealed and stored at the company field office in a secure area and were later transported by company truck directly to the Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories (BVM) in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. At the laboratory, the samples were dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis to BVM in Vancouver, B.C. for 45-element ICP-MS analysis after modified 4 acid aqua regia digestion. Gold assays are determined by 30-gram fire assay fusion with an ICP-ES finish. Copper assays that initially ran above 10,000ppm were rerun using ICP-ES analysis to obtain accurate assay values.
Both Hermosillo and Vancouver BVM facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Laboratory control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates and blank samples were inserted by the laboratory into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the quality assurance/quality control protocol.
