In this episode, we chat to Jim Greig, President and Director of Benchmark Metals, a mineral exploration company focused on proving and developing the substantial resource potential of the Lawyer’s Gold and Silver project, located in the prolific Golden Horseshoe area of northern BC, Canada.
Jim has a geology background and has worked in Africa and Canada over the past 25 years. He talks to us about Benchmark Metals which currently has a 3-million-ounce 43-101 compliant resource with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate coming out shortly and much more….
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Benchmark Metals is a gold and silver developer.
In 2021, they provided nearly 3 million tonnes from 3 open pits.
They are averaging 1.5 grams per tonne for gold, which is higher than normal for the area.
A new find is averaging 2 grams per tonne.
They are on the verge of disseminating an updated and much better resource estimate and PA.
The quality of the gold and silver uncovered by the tight drilling is of a much higher grade.
Canada is an excellent mining jurisdiction.
Jim explains why he thinks Benchmark Metals is under-valued.
The entire management team are all heavily invested in the company.

 
BEST MOMENTS
