BENJAMIN HILL ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF DRILL PROGRAM,
GEOPHYSICAL UPDATE AND DAVID JONES MEMORIAL
Vancouver, British Columbia ( February 1, 2022) - Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCBB:
BNNHF) (“BHM” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide various project updates on the Sonora project
following the close of the recent private placement:
Three Holes Completed on Inaugural Drill Program on the Sonora Property
Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. has completed three diamond drill holes on the Sonora Gold project. This inaugural
drill campaign consists of 34 exploration drill holes spread over four mineralized areas (Sonora Copper, El
Fierro, Caracahui, La Salada). The goal of the inaugural program is to intercept and delimit mineralized
structures, to better define alteration footprints and to explore for the source of mineralization.
The first two drill holes target the Sonora Copper vein, a north -south striking mineralized structure which
outcrops over 1070m in length and extends to a depth of at least 200m as determined from geological mapping
of historical mining adits on the vein. The drill rig has repositioned to the Caracahui area and has completed
hole 3 to a depth of 224.5m. While in the area, the drill will also test the Cresta do mineralized system at the
southern part of the Caracahui Area, to define and delineate additional mineralization seen during the field
mapping program and pursue interesting gravimetrical targets produced by the initial analysis of geophysical
surveying.
The drill rig is currently working on the fourth of 34 planned drill holes. Two holes are completed in the Sonora
Copper exploration area (SGD-22-001 & SGD-22-002). Hole three has been completed (SGA-22-001) in the
Caracahui exploration area, and the rig is currently drilling on the second hole (SGA-22-002).
Table 1. Completed Drill Holes to Date
Samples from the first drill hole on the Sonora Copper exploration area have been delivered to Bureau Veritas,
Inspectorate de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and the results are expected in the coming weeks. The subsequent core
will be delivered as they are prepared by the exploration team.
Additional Work and COVID Related Comments
Benjamin Hill has rehabilitated 23.1 km of existing roads and constructed 22 of the 32 planned drill pads.
Locations were chosen that minimize disturbance to the local environment in accordance with the guidelines
set out in the construction permit.
The company has been working through the COVID pandemic by utilizing strict health safety guidelines and
testing and vaccination protocols. These ensure exploration work is uninterrupted throughout our current
planned drill program and any additional work programs to come.
Hole Name Exploration Area Depth (m) Status
SGD-22-001 Sonora Copper 200.05 Completed
SGD-22-002 Sonora Copper 302.4 Completed
SGA-22-001 Caracahui 224.5 Completed

Completed IP/Resistivity Survey on the Sonora Property
The geophysical survey consisted of 10,000 meters of survey line split over eight locations : Sonora Copper,
El Fierro, Caracahui, La Quebrada, El Crestado, El Tanque, Las Antennas and La Salada. These survey lines
have been oriented east-west to perpendicularly transect known north-south mineralization trends that occur
in the property, which are enriched with gold, copper, and silver.
The geophysical work consists of an Induced Polarization and Resistivity survey useful at detecting
geophysical anomalies underground at depths of up to 280m from surface. The main objective of this survey
is to lo cate and define geophysical anomalies that indicate the subsurface vertical and lateral continuity of
surface mineralization and hydrothermal alteration. The survey will provide confirmation of drilling targets that
have been extrapolated into the subsurfa ce through detailed geological mapping and geochemistry.
Additionally, the survey may also provide information on the properties source of mineralization, a buried fertile
pluton and could daylight yet unknown areas of additional mineralization.
Benjamin Hill Inaugural Drill Location in Memory of David Jones
In Memoriam: David Jones
It is with great sadness that Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. must pay as posthumous tribute to our friend and
colleague acting as Special Advisor, David Jones P.Geo. David passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully at
his home in Tucson, Arizona in December of last year.
David was an outstanding geologist and researcher. He acted as a special advisor for Benjamin Hill Minin g
Corp. and contributed his knowledge with infectious enthusiasm to our team. He shared his knowledge and
experience freely to the profession and to society , with honest exuberance to advance the development of
economic projects, boosting local economies in the Americas and the around the world. Some of his projects
have become mines that have positively impacted our world , socially and economically, proving himself one
of the best economic geologists of modern times.
During the past year, David spent time with the Benjamin Hill Mining team of explorers at the Sonora Project.
There he joyfully acknowledged the unique geology and was excited by the evidence of mineralization and
alteration that make up the large mineralized system seen on the property. The Benjamin Hill Mining technical
group has incorporated his wise and accurate opinions in the development of ongoing prospecting and
exploration work.
We are forever grateful for David’s friendship, the legacy of his scientific teaching, and his contributions to
society. We are sure that his legacy will leave a lasting impression on his colleagues and collaborators of all
types. He passed too soon to accomplish all that he wished. Rest well our friend.
Quality Control
The program is being overseen by senior geologist and program manager Macario Rocha -Rocha, Ph.D,
P.Geo. Under the guidance of Dr. Rocha-Rocha the Company has implemented stringent senior management
oversight policies to ensure the highest quality control standards related the exploration, sampling and drilling.
All samples are tested under ISO 9001 quality control certification and ISO 45001 environmental impact
certification with, Bureau Veritas, Inspectorate de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
