(TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in a strategic mineral license (the \"Property\") encompassing 27 claim units that surrounds the Northern portion of Benton's recently acquired Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project. The Property was optioned from Stephen Stockley Agriculture and Fabrication Inc. (\"SSAF\") and surrounds the South Pond, South Pond A and South Pond B deposits. The SSAF ground also hosts strong untested Electro Magnetic (EM) anomalies that sit on the flank of a magnetic high, indicative of a system that could host Volcanic Massive Sulphides (VMS) or Copper - Nickel Magmatic Sulphides. See attached map.Benton is excited to add this strategic land position as it continues with its drilling effort 14km to the south on the Great Burnt Main deposit. Benton has now completed 2,236m of drilling in 9 holes with all holes intersecting semi-massive and massive sulphides containing significant chalcopyrite (copper) mineralization. The Company's priority is expansion of the Great Burnt high-grade core in the Main Deposit which has been extremely successful to date. Hole GB-23-01 through GB-23-09 were completed over a 295m strike length. Hole GB-23-01 was an infill hole to test the zone 12m updip from GB-18-05 and 20m downdip from GB-20-20 and intersected a combined 12.30m of semi-massive/massive sulphides in 4 separate zones (from 69.05 to 72.30m, 82.75 to 87.10m, 90.00 to 94.05m and 95.05 to 95.70m). GB-23-02 intersected the zone 20m updip from GB-20-05 which cut 12.91m of semi-massive/massive sulphides between 162.89 to 175.80m. GB-23-03 intersected the zone 30m updip from GB-20-05 and cut a combined 1.3m of semi-massive/massive sulphides from 154.80 to 155.50m and158.00 to 158.60m. GB-23-04 intersected the zone 12m south of historical drill hole GB-86 and cut a combined total of 16.6m of semi-massive/massive sulphides from 186.60 to 193.20m and 200.00 to 210.00m. GB-23-05, drilled from this same set-up, intersected the zone 15m up-dip ...
