Benz Discovers New High Grade Gold Lens At Zone 126
- Third lens discovery - Step out drilling has uncovered a new third lens approximately 70m south east of the second lens:
- 11m at 5.5g/t gold from 196m (25GLR039)
20m at 2.6g/t gold from 507m (25GLR035)
- Including 5m at 5.4g/t gold
- 10m at 6.1g/t gold from 450m (25GLR033)
- Including 3m at 16.8g/t gold
Within a broader zone of 108m at 0.9g/t gold from 408m
- Within a broader zone of 123m at 1g/t gold from 355m
The discovery confirms Benz's breakthrough structural model, showing that earlier drilling at Glenburgh missed key mineralised zones due to incorrect orientation. Two RC rigs continue drilling on site, fully funded by recently completed A$13.5m capital raise.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2025) - Benz Mining Corp (ASX: BNZ) (TSXV: BZ) ("Benz" or the "Company") is pleased to report further strong results from ongoing drilling at the Zone 126 prospect within the Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia. The latest results have successfully confirmed two major developments:
the discovery of a new third lens or mineralisation; and a significant 100m down-dip extension of known mineralisation beneath the second lens.Figure 1 Long section view looking north of Zone 126 trend.

High Grade Third Lens Discovery
Step-out drilling approximately 70 metres down plunge from the existing second lens has intersected a previously unrecognised third lens of high-grade gold mineralisation. The third lens has been intersected with 2 drill holes, with hole 25GLR_039 intersecting the lens at 196m with drill hole 25GLR_035 intersecting the same lens at 507m representing a potential down dip target zone of over 300m in length.
This emerging lens further validates Benz's structural targeting model which suggested that gold mineralisation at Zone 126 plunges to the north east as opposed to previous exploration that targetted a south westerly plunge.
Hole 25GLR_039 also intersected the second lens, returning additional high-grade mineralisation ( 25GLR_039: 6m at 7.4/t gold ) that reinforces the continuity of the system between the second and newly identified third lenses.
Exploration efforts will now prioritise this new lens horizon, with systematic drilling planned to test its full scale and continuity. The discovery opens up significant potential for high grade near-resource growth and underlines the broader structural complexity and fertility of the system with the system continuing to be open along the strike of the north easterly plunge as well to surface and depth.
Deep Extension Below Lens 2
In addition to the new lens discovery, drilling below the second lens has confirmed substantial vertical continuity of mineralisation, extending the system by more than 100 metres down-dip. This demonstrates that the gold system at Zone 126 remains open at depth and continues to exhibit strong grade characteristics at increasing depths.
These results confirm the presence of a large, vertically extensive gold system at Zone 126. Importantly, both Lens 1 and Lens 2 remain open at depth, with further drilling planned to test the full extent of this mineralisation along plunge and down dip.
The ongoing success of the drilling program at Zone 126 continues to highlight the exceptional upside potential at Glenburgh, with high-grade discoveries emerging alongside the Project's growing bulk-tonnage footprint.
Benz CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, commented:
"Glenburgh just keeps delivering. This latest discovery of a third high-grade lens at Zone 126 not only extends the system down plunge, but also further validates our structural model - a model that continues to unlock new growth across the Project.
"To see consistent high grades and widths over 50 gram metres continuously being intersected in now 2 new discoveries gives us great confidence that we are beginning to unlock a high grade underground gold project.
"Developing these exciting high grade discoveries alongside the large-scale bulk tonnage system at Icon-Apollo is what makes Glenburgh truly special.
"We believe Glenburgh has the hallmarks of a tier 1, multi-million-ounce opportunity, and we're only just getting started."
