Benz CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, commented:

"Hurricane Camp is expanding rapidly, and these results mark another major step in unlocking the scale of the Glenburgh system. What we are seeing now is the emergence of multiple high-grade zones across multiple mineralised NE plunging corridors, and we are moving quickly to capitalise on this momentum.

"We have long believed the Hurricane trend had the potential to repeat the success of Zone 126, and these latest results are now clearly demonstrating that this is beginning to play out in the drill data. High-grade mineralisation is being defined over a 1km NE-plunging fold corridor, validating our targeting model and reinforcing the repeatability of the system.

"We are now increasing our drilling commitment at Hurricane, with dedicated rigs focused on systematically drilling out the full extent of the trend. The goal is clear - to rapidly grow high-grade ounces across what is shaping up to be a large, coherent gold system.

"At the same time, we continue to advance the Icon Camp, which remains a key pillar of the broader Glenburgh opportunity. In parallel, we are preparing to commence maiden drilling at the Thunderbolt Camp - a completely untested third of the project that has never seen modern exploration. This represents a significant new frontier within an already rapidly growing system.

"We believe Glenburgh is evolving into a district-scale gold system, and we are still in the early stages of understanding its full potential. With multiple camps, multiple active fronts, and a growing inventory of high-grade zones, we see a clear pathway to continue rapidly adding ounces all on our granted Mining Lease.

"There is no clear limit to the scale of this system, and we will continue to systematically explore, drill and expand across the entire 80km trend.

"These are genuinely exciting times for the Company."

HURRICANE TREND - NEW DISCOVERY CORRIDOR

Maiden drilling at the Hurricane trend has confirmed a new high-grade mineralised corridor defined over approximately 1km along a NE-plunging fold.

Hurricane was initially recognised as a small outcropping system located approximately 1.4km from the high-grade Zone 126 discovery. Historical exploration identified a broad surface geochemical anomaly, however, drilling was limited to a small number of shallow holes (<70m), leaving the system largely untested at depth.

Benz's geological team identified Hurricane as a high-priority target not only due to the scale of the surface anomaly, but more importantly due to its structural and geological similarities to the Zone 126 system. This provided a compelling opportunity to test for a repeat of the Zone 126 high-grade system along strike and at depth.

Recent results from Benz's maiden drill campaign have been highly encouraging. These initial results demonstrate both high-grade and broader mineralised envelopes, including:

• 11m at 6.4 g/t Au from 306m (26HZ023) within 102m at 1.1 g/t Au
• 2m at 19.1 g/t Au from 298m (26HZ008)
• 17m at 1.9 g/t Au from 366m (26HZ008)
• 9m at 3.0 g/t Au from 264m (26HZ032)

These results highlight the presence of multiple mineralised lenses within a broader corridor and support the potential for both high-grade shoots and bulk-tonnage mineralisation.

The geometry, tenor and structural setting of mineralisation in the Hurricane trend are consistent with the Zone 126 system, supporting the Company's interpretation that Hurricane represents a repeat structural position within the Glenburgh gold system.

Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, with strong potential for further growth as drilling continues.

ZONE 126 - NEW LENS AND SYSTEM LINKAGE

The identification of a new high-grade lens ("Lens 0") at Zone 126 represents a key development in understanding the broader system architecture.

Recent drilling has defined this new lens with strong high-grade intercepts, including:

• 19m at 5.1 g/t Au from 311m (26HZ036) within 61m at 1.93 g/t Au
• 4m at 44.2 g/t Au from 481m (26HZ043)

This lens is interpreted to link Zone 126 and Zone 102 for the first time, establishing a broader mineralised corridor and reinforcing the potential for large-scale system continuity now defined over a strike length of 1.5km and open in all directions.

Infill drilling across existing lenses at Zone 126 continues to confirm strong continuity and high-grade tenor, including:

• 25m at 10.2 g/t Au from 568m (26HZ002)
• 19m at 9.3 g/t Au from 363m (25GLR_138)
• 12m at 9.8 g/t Au from 161m (25GLR_131)

Extensional drilling has also continued to grow the system, with multiple lenses extended and new parallel mineralisation identified:

• 17m at 7.1 g/t Au from 201m (25GLR_170) - extending Lens 2 up-dip
• 10m at 6.3 g/t Au from 479m (25GLR_171) - extending Lens 1 down-dip by ~100m
• 14m at 2.32 g/t Au - new parallel lens associated with Lens 4

Together, these results highlight the scale, continuity and growing complexity of the Zone 126 system, with multiple lenses remaining open along strike and at depth.

GROWTH STRATEGY AND NEXT STEPS

The Company is accelerating drilling across the Hurricane Camp, with two rigs now dedicated to rapidly testing and expanding the full extent of the mineralised system which is currently over 2.6km in length.

Drilling continues at the Icon Camp, which remains a key pillar of the broader Glenburgh opportunity. In parallel, preparations are underway for maiden drilling at the Thunderbolt Camp - a largely untested portion of the project representing a significant new exploration frontier.

Benz remains focused on systematically exploring and expanding the Glenburgh system, with multiple active fronts and strong potential for continued high-grade discovery.

Glenburgh - A New Frontier Gold District

The 100%-owned Glenburgh Gold Project is rapidly emerging as a new frontier gold district with multi-million-ounce potential. Located in Western Australia's Gascoyne region, Glenburgh hosts an 18-20 kilometre mineralised corridor anchored by the large-scale Icon-Apollo trend and the high-grade Zone 126 system.

Glenburgh's unique combination of thick, bulk-style gold mineralisation (Icon-Apollo) and multiple high-grade underground lenses (Zone 126) positions it as a rare opportunity in the Australian gold sector. With gold prices at record levels, the ability to develop both large-scale open pit and underground operations offers exceptional leverage and growth potential.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria	Commentary
Sampling techniques	Results are part of BNZ's RC drilling campaign at the recently acquired Glenburgh Gold Project situated ~285 km east of Carnarvon via Gascoyne Junction, WA. RC drilling samples were collected as 1m single samples. Each sample collected represents each one (1) metre drilled collected from the rig-mounted cone splitter into individual calico bags (~3kg). The rig mounted cyclone/cone splitter was levelled at the start of each hole to aid an even fall of the sample through the cyclone into the cone splitter. RC drilling sample submissions include the use of certified standards (CRMs), and field duplicates were added to the submitted sample sequence to test laboratory equipment calibrations. Standards selected are matched to the analytical method of photon assaying at ALS labs in Perth (~500g units). No composites were taken. Based on statistical analysis of these results, there is no evidence to suggest the samples are not representative.
Drilling techniques	The RC drill rig was a Schramm C685 & T685 rig type with the capability to reach >500m depths with a rig-mounted cyclone/cone splitter using a face sample hammer bit of 5 1/2 - 6" size. The booster was used to apply air to keep drill holes dry and reach deeper depths.
Drill sample recovery	RC sample recovery is visually assessed and recorded where significantly reduced. Negligible sample loss has been recorded. RC samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination. A cyclone and cone splitter were used to provide a uniform sample, and these were routinely cleaned. RC Sample recoveries are generally high. No significant sample loss has been recorded.
Logging	RC chip samples have been geologically logged on a per 1 metre process recording lithology, mineralisation, veining, alteration, and weathering. Geological logging is considered appropriate for this style of deposit (metamorphosed orogenic gold). The entire length of all holes has been geologically logged. RC drill logging was completed by Benz Mining staff and data entered into BNZ's MXDeposit digital data collection platform provided by Expedio. All drill chips were collected into 20 compartment-trays for future reference and stored securely at Glenburgh camp.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	RC chips were cone split at the rig. Samples were generally dry. A sample size of between 3 and 5 kg was collected. This size is considered appropriate, and representative of the material being sampled given the width and continuity of the intersections, and the grain size of the material being collected. For the 1 metre samples, certified analytical standards (appropriate for photon assaying) and field duplicates were inserted at appropriate intervals at a rate equal to 1 in 20 and sent for analysis with the samples. Sample preparation was undertaken at ALS Laboratory - Perth. Gold analysis utilised the photon assaying methodology where original samples are crushed to 90% better than -3mm with a sub-set 500g separated for non-destructive analysis. Any sample reporting as having elevated > 1µSv readings during the preparation for photon assaying at ALS labs were flagged and were submitted for fire assay (Au-AA26) methodology at ALS labs in Perth as a quantifying check against the Photon assays.
Quality of assay data and laboratory test	PhotonAssay at ALS Perth: Samples submitted for PhotonAssay analysis were dried, crushed to achieve approximately 90% passing 3.15 mm, rotary split, and a nominal ~500 g sub-sample was collected (method codes CRU-32a and SPL-32a). The ~500 g sub-sample was analysed for gold using the PhotonAssay technique (method code Au-PA01), together with quality control samples including certified reference materials and field duplicates. ALS PhotonAssay Analysis Technique: Developed by CSIRO in collaboration with Chrysos Corporation, PhotonAssay is a rapid, chemical-free alternative to conventional fire assay that uses high-energy X-rays. The technique is non-destructive and analyses a substantially larger sample mass than the standard 50 g fire assay. ALS has extensively tested and validated the PhotonAssay method, with results benchmarked against traditional fire assay. Routine mutli-element analysis - four acid digest with ICP-MS finish (method code ME-MS61) and portable XRF (method code pXRF-NQ) has been completed down hole on a pulverize 500 g split to better than 85% passing 75um (method code PUL-32m) but this information does not form part of this report. Laboratory QA/QC is maintained through the routine use of internal certified reference materials and blanks as part of standard in-house procedures. In addition, BNZ submitted an independent suite of certified reference materials (see above). These data are formally reviewed on a periodic basis.
Verification of sampling and assaying	Significant drill intersections are checked by the supervising personnel. The intersections are compared to recorded geology and neighbouring data and reviewed in Leapfrog and QGIS software. No twinned holes have been drilled to date by Benz Mining, but, planned holes have tested the interpreted mineralised trends, verifying the geometry of the mineralised targets. All logs were validated by the Project Geologist prior to being sent to the Database Administrator for import No adjustments have been made to assay data apart from values below the detection limit which are assigned a value of half the detection limit (positive number)
Location of data points	Hole collar coordinates including RLs have been located by handheld GPS in the field during initial drill site preparation. Actual hole collars were collected by a DGPS system at the Glenburgh Gold Project. The grid system used for the location of all drill holes is GDA94_MGA _Zone 50s. Planned hole coordinates and final GPS coordinates are compared in QGIS and Leapfrog project files to ensure all targets have been tested as intended. The drill string path is monitored as drilling progresses using downhole Axis Champ Gyro tool and compared against the planned drill path, adjustment to the drilling technique is requested as required to ensure the intended path is followed. Readings were recorded at 30m intervals from surface to end of hole after Benz reviewed single shot verses EOH continuous surveying of the Axis Champ Gyro tool and noted >3 degrees variance in azimuth with hole depth. The single shots produce less variability and are used for hole trace reporting in the database. Historical drill hole surveys and methods will be reviewed in preparation for any updates to MRE in the future.
Data spacing and distribution	BNZ's Glenburgh RC drilling has been designed to infill and extend mineralisation defined by historical drilling. Drill spacings are varied. Holes were generally angled between -65 degrees towards ~145 degrees. The mineralised domains established for pre-BNZ Mineral Resource Estimates have sufficient continuity in both geology and grade to be considered appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedures and classification applied under the 2012 JORC Code. Ongoing drilling will be sufficiently spaced for a reinterpretation based on BNZ's structural model. No sample compositing of material from drilling has been applied during this drilling campaign.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	Drilling has primarily been undertaken perpendicular to the interpreted mineralised structures as stated above. No orientation-based sampling bias has been identified - observed intercepts to date indicate the interpreted geology hosting mineralisation is robust.
Sample security	All samples were prepared in the field by Benz Mining staff and delivered by contracted couriers from the field site to the ALS laboratory in Perth directly. Individual pre-numbered calco sample bags are placed in polywoven plastic bags (5 per bag) secured at the top with a cable tie. These bags are annotated with the company name and sample numbers, the bags are placed in larger bulker bags for transport to ALS labs in Perth, also labelled with corresponding company name, drill hole and sample identifiers. Sample pulps are stored in a dry, secure location at Benz's Glenburgh camp.
Audits or reviews	Data is validated by Benz staff and Geolytic database consultants as it is entered into MXDeposit. Errors are returned to field staff for validation. All drilled hole collars have been located with a DGPS. There have been no audits undertaken.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria	Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	Glenburgh Gold Project is a group of 10 tenements and 2 applications. The majority of known gold deposits are located on Mining Lease M09/148. The tenement is 100% owned by Benz Mining Limited. The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist.
Exploration done by other parties	Since Helix Resources in 1994 and subsequent work by Gascoyne Resources, about 159,149 soil samples, 1,349 vacuum holes and 2,285 auger holes have been completed at Glenburgh. 48 diamond holes, 398 RC holes, 6 air-core holes and 462 RAB holes have been drilled in the Glenburgh area to identify the distribution and evaluate the potential of the deposit. Drilling to date has identified 10 high potential deposits in the Glenburgh area which are: Tuxedo, Icon, Apollo, Mustang, Shelby, Hurricane, Zone 102, Zone 126, NE3 and NE4 deposits.
Geology	Gold mineralisation at the Glenburgh deposit is hosted in Paleoproterozoic upper-amphibolite to granulite facies siliciclastic rocks of the Glenburgh Terrane, in the southern Gascoyne Province of Western Australia. Gold was first discovered at the Glenburgh deposit in 1994 by Helix Resources during follow-up drilling of soil geochemical anomalies. Mineralisation occurs in shears within quartz + feldspar + biotite ± garnet gneiss, which contains discontinuous blocks or lenses of amphibolite and occasional thin magnetite-bearing metamorphics, probably derived from chemical sediments. Higher-grade mineralisation appears to be directly related to silica flooding in the gneiss. This silica flooding may give rise to quartz 'veins' up to several metres thick, although scales of several centimetres to tens of centimetres are the norm. Neither the higher-grade silica lodes nor the more pervasive lower-grade mineralisation exhibits sharp or well-defined lithological contacts.
Drill hole Information	For this announcement, 111 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes are being reported. Collar details have been provided in Appendix 1. For earlier released results, see previous announcements by Gascoyne Resources (ASX: GCY) and Spartan Resources (ASX: SPR).
Data aggregation methods	No material information has been excluded. Low Grade: A nominal 0.3 ppm Au lower cut off has been applied to with no internal dilution length applied. High grade: A nominal 1 ppm Au lower cut off has been applied to with up to 10m internal dilution length applied. Higher grade Au intervals lying within broader zones of Au mineralisation are reported as included intervals. No top cuts have been applied to reported intercepts. No metal equivalent values have been used. All reported assays have been length weighted if appropriate. Some drill holes reported in this announcement were previously disclosed based on partial assay results. Completion of outstanding assays has resulted in updated intercepts now being reported.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	Drilling is generally oriented perpendicular to the interpreted strike of mineralisation, and intercepts are reported as downhole lengths unless otherwise stated. To improve understanding of true widths, a subset of holes in this program were drilled from the opposite azimuth to previous drilling to test structural geometry. Ongoing drilling and geological modelling are required to confirm the true orientation and extent of mineralised lenses.
Diagrams	Relevant diagrams are included in the report.
Balanced reporting	All meaningful data relating to the Exploration program has been included and reported to the market as assays are received.
Other substantive exploration data	See body of announcement.
Further work	Assays for the remainder of the programme will be reported once received and validated. Ongoing drilling across the Glenburgh camp to extend mineralisation along strike and at depth.
