Banyan is on track for the planned Resource update to demonstrate our progress, and with the resumption of drilling, we feel the excitement of the early days of exploration poised for additional discoveries. Our geological and structural interpretations indicate that the deposits remain open with considerable growth potential,' stated
Exploration at the AurMac Property has now resumed with three (3) diamond drill rigs working on an initial planned 25,000 metre ('m') drill program for 2023. The 2023 program will include expanded metallurgical, geotechnical and baseline environmental programs, and is now supported by an on-site prep lab.
In 2022, step-out drilling to the east and west of the Powerline and Aurex Hill resources identified a near/on-surface zone of gold trend that is interpreted to have grade continuity over a total of five (5) kilometres ('km') of strike length. Structural interpretations have identified an important lineament that is coincident with a change in the orientation of gold mineralization trends between Powerline and Aurex Hill. The initial focus of the 25,000 m drill program will be to close the gap between Powerline Deposit and Aurex Hill deposit while also testing for a mineralized structure separating the two deposits. Continuing to drill test East Aurex Hill will also be a drilling priority following up on the trend outlined by DDH AX-22-320 and DDH AX-22-364 which returned 84.4 m of 1.13 g/t Au from 22.8 m (news release -

Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company's plans for exploration and statements regarding exploration expectations, exploration or development plans and timelines and mineral resource estimates and anticipated costs. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, receipt of regulatory approvals, uncertainties inherent in resource estimates, continuity and extent of mineralization, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, enhanced risks inherent to conducting business in any jurisdiction, and those risks set out in Banyan's public documents filed on SEDAR. Although Banyan believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.
