BenchMark Energy Ships Over 1 Million Pounds of Glycerin for January


COLDSPRING, Texas, Feb. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BenchMark Energy Corp. (OTC Pink:BMRK), a refiner and supplier of Glycerin for commercial processes, announced it has projected total Glycerin shipments for the month of January at approximately 1.1 million pounds.

Glycerin Shipments

In addition to the pending antifreeze launch, BenchMark's core Glycerin operations continue to move forward, with January shipments projected at 1.1 million pounds. Although delays were experienced due to the unprecedented cold and snowy weather throughout North America, Glycerin operations continued on pace with shipments being filled to their key vendors.

January Glycerin shipments were achieved by both railcar and freight delivery, and were mainly focused in the Southern region of the United States and Northern Mexico. The Mexico contract signed in January constituted nearly one-third of the realized Glycerin loads.

OTC Markets Listing Status

The Company expects to file the appropriate documents shortly with OTC Markets to upgrade its listing back to "current".

As a bulk supplier of both refined and raw Glycerin, BenchMark Energy receives its revenues on a per pound basis traded to their vendors. The Company expects to file its fourth quarter operational results with OTC Markets, and anticipates that it will also provide revenue projections for both the fourth quarter of 2013, and the first quarter of 2014.
