VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 9, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Benz Capital Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Benz") (TSX VENTURE:BZ) is pleased to announce that it has received final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for the acquisition of up to a 100% interest in the San Javier Copper Project in Sonora, Mexico pursuant to an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Tusk Exploration Ltd., a private British Columbia company ("Tusk").

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Benz has made the initial cash payment of $200,000 and issued to Tusk 8,571,428 common shares in the capital of Benz at a deemed price of $0.35 per share, to earn an initial 30% interest in the San Javier Copper Project. The shares issued to Tusk are subject to an escrow agreement in accordance with the TSXV's value securities escrow policy.

"The receipt of TSXV approval of the San Javier Option Agreement brings us closer to becoming a copper producer," said Miloje Vicentijevic, President and CEO of Benz. "Following the closing of the transaction, we have retained a conservative share structure that will enable Benz to continue developing the project as well as building our portfolio of copper assets."

Next Steps

Benz believes that considerable potential exists to upgrade the existing 6 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources (grading 0.39% copper) into the total of 54 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources (grading 0.32% copper). Benz plans to commence a Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") during 2015. In addition, Benz plans to initiate environmental assessment study and permitting processes during the same time frame.
