About Benton Resources Inc.

Benton Resources is a well-financed mineral exploration company. Benton has a diversified, highly prospective property portfolio and holds large equity positions in other mining companies that are advancing high-quality assets. Whenever possible, Benton Resources retains net smelter return (NSR) royalties with potential long-term cash flow.

Benton is focused on advancing its high-grade Great Burnt copper-gold project in central Newfoundland, which has a mineral resource estimate of 667,000 tonnes at 3.21 per cent copper indicated and 482,000 at 2.35 per cent Cu inferred. The project has an excellent geological setting, covering 25 kilometres of strike, and boasts six known copper-gold-silver zones over 15 km that are all open for expansion. Further potential for discovery is excellent given the extensive number of untested geophysical targets and Cu-Au soil anomalies. Phase 1 and phase 2 drill programs returned impressive results, including 25.42 metres of 5.51 per cent Cu, including 9.78 m of 8.31 per cent Cu and one m of 12.70 per cent Cu.
