Open Lenses and New Targets Signal Both Opportunity and Risk at Glenburgh

Deepening the Zone 126 Story

Benz Mining Corp has delivered another compelling update from its Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia, reporting major high-grade extensions at the Zone 126 prospect. The standout result comes from Lens 4, where drilling has pushed mineralisation more than 200 metres deeper, returning an impressive 15 metres at 12.7 grams per tonne gold from 850 metres depth. This intercept not only marks the thickest high-grade hit recorded at Glenburgh to date but also extends the vertical reach of Zone 126 to 800 metres, reinforcing the deposit’s robustness and scale.

Alongside this, another Lens 4 hole extended the lens 90 metres west with 20 metres at 5 grams per tonne gold, confirming the continuity of high-grade mineralisation along plunge. These results build on earlier discoveries and suggest Lens 4 is evolving into a major underground ore shoot with significant depth potential.

New Lens 5 Discovery Adds to Growing Complexity

Adding to the excitement, Benz has intersected the first mineralisation in the newly interpreted Lens 5 zone, with a high-grade intercept of 2 metres at 16.8 grams per tonne gold from 528 metres. Although this initial hit lies on the edge of the lens, the company anticipates thicker and higher-grade mineralisation down-dip and down-plunge, based on their structural model. This discovery validates Benz’s exploration approach and opens a fresh front for resource expansion within the Zone 126 corridor.

All Lenses Remain Open, Highlighting Upside

Importantly, all five lenses identified at Zone 126 remain open at depth, with recent drilling confirming ongoing potential to add high-grade ounces. For example, Lens 1 was extended with 12 metres at 3.8 grams per tonne gold from 320 metres, underscoring the underexplored nature of the system below 400–500 metres. Benz’s geological work suggests that many apparent gaps in mineralisation may be due to drill orientation rather than true breaks, implying a more continuous and substantial high-grade system than previously understood.

Next Discovery Corridors, NE3 and Hurricane

Beyond Zone 126, Benz is turning its attention to two newly identified high-grade discovery corridors, NE3 and Hurricane. Both targets exhibit strong gold-in-soil anomalies exceeding 100 parts per billion over significant strike lengths (600 metres for NE3 and 1 kilometre for Hurricane) and share geological and structural similarities with Zone 126. Historical drilling near surface has confirmed mineralisation at both sites, but deeper, down-plunge positions remain untested. Benz plans to aggressively drill these targets in 2026, aiming to replicate the scale and grade success of Zone 126.

Glenburgh, An Emerging Gold District

The Glenburgh Gold Project is rapidly emerging as a new frontier gold district with multi-million-ounce potential. Its unique combination of thick bulk-style mineralisation at the Icon-Apollo trend and multiple high-grade underground lenses at Zone 126 positions it as a rare and compelling opportunity in the Australian gold sector. With gold prices near record highs, the project’s potential for both open pit and underground development offers significant leverage for growth and value creation.

Benz’s CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, emphasised the momentum building across the project, noting that each new discovery adds to Glenburgh’s stature as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging gold districts. The company’s ongoing structural mapping and advanced geological modelling continue to refine targets and optimize drilling strategies, setting the stage for further breakthroughs in 2026.
