Mineralization Intersection Suggests Third High-Grade Lens

VANCOUVER - Benz Mining Corp. reported encouraging results for an additional three holes being reported drilled as part of the cleansing requirements. These holes targeted extensions at the Zone 126 area and the gap zone between the Icon and Apollo deposits - and the results are highly promising.

At Zone 126, hole 14 has intersected mineralization suggesting the emergence of a potential third high-grade lens. Early logging and geochemistry confirm we are in the "gap zone" between existing lenses, similar to the gap between the first and second lenses where significant thick low grade gold was intersected but only intersected narrower high grade. This area will now be a major focus of the upcoming drill program, as we believe it could deliver additional high-grade ounces and materially grow the deposit footprint.

At Icon-Apollo, two step-out holes aimed to test the mineralized corridor between the two known deposits. Both successfully hit broad zones of low-grade mineralization. Notably, hole GBZ015 intersected 220 metres at 0.37g/t Au, ending in mineralization - one of the thickest intervals recorded on the project to date.

This new discovery highlights significant large-scale, low-grade potential complementing the high-grade lenses, offering two clear paths to growing the resource base.

An aggressive drill program is set to commence in May, targeting both high-grade and bulk-tonnage opportunities, and is expected to run for the remainder of the year. In parallel, detailed structural mapping is underway to refine future drill targeting and maximize exploration success.

Results for the remaining five holes from this phase are pending and will be reported as they become available.

CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, said, "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.

We firmly believe we are unlocking a genuine district-scale gold system at Glenburgh, with multi-million ounce potential - and we are only just getting started."
