Benjamin Hill Enters into Option Agreement with Strategic Metals Ltd on the Alotta Property

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 18, 2023) - Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCQB: BNNHF) ("BHM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSXV: SMD) (the "Optionor") has signed an agreement (the "Agreement") granting the Company an optional right (the "Option") to earn an undivided 60% joint venture interest in the Alotta Project located in the Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory.

The Alotta Project hosts an un-drilled porphyry prospect that is situated in a similar geological setting and in close proximity to Western Copper and Gold's Casino Deposit. Alotta is marked by a pronounced magnetic low that coincides with a strong, multi-element soil geochemical anomaly. The core of the geochemical anomaly is enriched in copper, gold and molybdenum and measures 4 kilometres by 1 kilometre. It is surrounded by a distal halo with high lead, zinc and silver values. The Alotta soil geochemical signature exhibits classic features common associated by large porphyry deposits. The property is permitted for advanced exploration and only requires an induced polarization survey prior to any drill testing.

The Option may be exercised by making seven cash payments, totalling $500,000 CAD within five years of the execution of the Agreement (the "Execution Date") as follows: (i) $25,000 upon execution of this Agreement by all parties; (ii) an additional $25,000 on or before July 1, 2023; (iii) an additional $50,000 on or before January 17, 2024; (iv) an additional $100,000 on or before January 17, 2025; (v) an additional $100,000 on or before January 17, 2026; (vi) an additional $100,000 on or before January 17, 2027; and (vii) an additional $100,000 on or before January 17, 2028.

The Company must also incur aggregate Expenditures of $11,000,000 CAD over 5 years, as follows: (i) $500,000 on or before December 31, 2023; (ii) an additional $1,500,000 on or before December 31, 2024; (iii) an additional $2,500,000 on or before December 31, 2025; (iv) an additional $3,000,000 on or before December 31, 2026; and (v) an additional $3,500,000 on or before December 31, 2027.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company has entered into a finder's fee agreement with William Morris-Nelson in consideration for introducing the Company to the Optionor, pursuant to which Mr. Morris-Nelson will receive consideration up to 300,000 common shares of the Company, in installment amounts due concurrent with cash payments payable under the Option Agreement during the first 3 years of the term of the Agreement. All such shares shall be subject to statutory four month resale restrictions commencing from the date of issuance.
