Benz Announces Multiple New High-Grade Discoveries Drive Expansion at Hurricane Camp
Benz Announces Multiple New High-Grade
Discoveries Drive Expansion at Hurricane
Camp
HIGHLIGHTS:
New discovery corridor confirmed and targeting model validated,
with the Hurricane trend
now emerging as Zone126-style high-grade system over a 1,000m NE-plunging fold corridor,
significantly expanding the scale of the Hurricane Camp and opening up an exciting new front for
rapid high-grade ounce growth. Two rigs now dedicated to accelerating rapid drill out.

Benz CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, commented:
"Hurricane Camp is expanding rapidly, and these results mark another major step in unlocking the scale
of the Glenburgh system. What we are seeing now is the emergence of multiple high-grade zones across
multiple mineralised NE plunging corridors, and we are moving quickly to capitalise on this momentum.
"We have long believed the Hurricane trend had the potential to repeat the success of Zone 126, and
these latest results are now clearly demonstrating that this is beginning to play out in the drill data. High-
grade mineralisation is being defined over a 1km NE-plunging fold corridor, validating our targeting
model and reinforcing the repeatability of the system.
"We are now increasing our drilling commitment at Hurricane, with dedicated rigs focused on
systematically drilling out the full extent of the trend. The goal is clear - to rapidly grow high-grade ounces
across what is shaping up to be a large, coherent gold system.
"At the same time, we continue to advance the Icon Camp, which remains a key pillar of the broader
Glenburgh opportunity. In parallel, we are preparing to commence maiden drilling at the Thunderbolt
Camp - a completely untested third of the project that has never seen modern exploration. This
represents a significant new frontier within an already rapidly growing system.
"We believe Glenburgh is evolving into a district-scale gold system, and we are still in the early stages of
understanding its full potential. With multiple camps, multiple active fronts, and a growing inventory of
high-grade zones, we see a clear pathway to continue rapidly adding ounces all on our granted Mining
Lease.
"There is no clear limit to the scale of this system, and we will continue to systematically explore, drill and
expand across the entire 80km trend.
"These are genuinely exciting times for the Company."
HURRICANE TREND - NEW DISCOVERY CORRIDOR
Maiden drilling at the Hurricane trend has confirmed a new high-grade mineralised corridor defined over
approximately 1km along a NE-plunging fold.
Hurricane was initially recognised as a small outcropping system located approximately 1.4km from the
high-grade Zone 126 discovery. Historical exploration identified a broad surface geochemical anomaly,
however, drilling was limited to a small number of shallow holes (<70m), leaving the system largely
untested at depth.
Benz's geological team identified Hurricane as a high-priority target not only due to the scale of the
surface anomaly, but more importantly due to its
structural and geological similarities to the Zone
126 system
. This provided a compelling opportunity to test for a
repeat of the Zone 126 high-grade
system
along strike and at depth.
Recent results from Benz's maiden drill campaign have been highly encouraging. These initial results
demonstrate both high-grade and broader mineralised envelopes, including:
11m at 6.4 g/t Au from 306m (26HZ023) within 102m at 1.1 g/t Au
2m at 19.1 g/t Au from 298m (26HZ008)
17m at 1.9 g/t Au from 366m (26HZ008)
9m at 3.0 g/t Au from 264m (26HZ032)
These results highlight the presence of multiple mineralised lenses within a broader corridor and support
the potential for both high-grade shoots and bulk-tonnage mineralisation.
The geometry, tenor and structural setting of mineralisation in the Hurricane trend are consistent with the
Zone 126 system, supporting the Company's interpretation that Hurricane represents a repeat structural
position within the Glenburgh gold system.
Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, with strong potential for further growth as drilling
continues.
ZONE 126 - NEW LENS AND SYSTEM LINKAGE
The identification of a new high-grade lens ("
Lens 0
") at Zone 126 represents a key development in
understanding the broader system architecture.
Recent drilling has defined this new lens with strong high-grade intercepts, including:
19m at 5.1 g/t Au from 311m (26HZ036) within 61m at 1.93 g/t Au
4m at 44.2 g/t Au from 481m (26HZ043)
This lens is interpreted to link Zone 126 and Zone 102 for the first time, establishing a broader
mineralised corridor and reinforcing the potential for large-scale system continuity now defined over a
strike length of 1.5km and open in all directions.
Infill drilling across existing lenses at Zone 126 continues to confirm strong continuity and high-grade
tenor, including:
25m at 10.2 g/t Au from 568m (26HZ002)
19m at 9.3 g/t Au from 363m (25GLR_138)
12m at 9.8 g/t Au from 161m (25GLR_131)
Extensional drilling has also continued to grow the system, with multiple lenses extended and new
parallel mineralisation identified:
17m at 7.1 g/t Au from 201m (25GLR_170) - extending Lens 2 up-dip
10m at 6.3 g/t Au from 479m (25GLR_171) - extending Lens 1 down-dip by ~100m
14m at 2.32 g/t Au - new parallel lens associated with Lens 4
Together, these results highlight the scale, continuity and growing complexity of the Zone 126 system,
with multiple lenses remaining open along strike and at depth.
GROWTH STRATEGY AND NEXT STEPS
The Company is accelerating drilling across the Hurricane Camp, with two rigs now dedicated to rapidly
testing and expanding the full extent of the mineralised system which is currently over 2.6km in length.
Drilling continues at the Icon Camp, which remains a key pillar of the broader Glenburgh opportunity. In
parallel, preparations are underway for maiden drilling at the Thunderbolt Camp - a largely untested
portion of the project representing a significant new exploration frontier.
Benz remains focused on systematically exploring and expanding the Glenburgh system, with multiple
active fronts and strong potential for continued high-grade discovery.

Glenburgh - A New Frontier Gold District
The 100%-owned Glenburgh Gold Project is rapidly emerging as a new frontier gold district with multi-
million-ounce potential. Located in Western Australia's Gascoyne region, Glenburgh hosts an 18-20
kilometre mineralised corridor anchored by the large-scale Icon-Apollo trend and the high-grade Zone
126 system.
Glenburgh's unique combination of thick, bulk-style gold mineralisation (Icon-Apollo) and multiple high-
grade underground lenses (Zone 126) positions it as a rare opportunity in the Australian gold sector.
With gold prices at record levels, the ability to develop both large-scale open pit and underground
operations offers exceptional leverage and growth potential.
