[{"type":"text","content":"Benton Continues to Expand the Traxxin Gold Zone and Identifies New Prospective Areas at Bedivere ProjectThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2018) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to provide further drill results at the Bedivere Gold Project located in northwestern Ontario. Highlights from the most recent drill campaign concluded just before the end of 2017 include 7.87gpt gold over 2.1m in drill hole BED-17-016 and 2.73gpt gold over 4.0m in BED-17-019 (visible gold noted in core) which continue to expand the Traxxin gold zone to depth. The Company is now starting to see distinctive higher grade plunges within the wider mineralized and altered structure. These plunges and expansion of the gold zone along strike to the north will be the focus of the upcoming winter drill program scheduled to start this month. In addition, the most recently completed drill program has identified highly prospective areas along the mineralized structure to the south where wide zones of highly anomalous gold have been intersected including 42.0m of altered quartz breccias that grade 0.21gpt gold with locally higher grades up to 1.7gpt gold over 1.0m. The Company has now completed a total of 16 diamond drill holes on the Traxxin zone and a further 5 holes testing other targets on the project. All results including previously released holes are listed below and a maps can been viewed on the Company's website.Drill HoleFromToIntervalGrade (Au g/t)BED-17-001*2.752.31.82 17.931.914.01.5 17.921.94.03.63incl17.919.92.06.43incl25.928.93.01.41BED-17-002*20.324.34.00.77incl22.323.31.01.98 51521.04.85BED-17-003*22.723.71.037.3BED-17-004*39.840.81.01.1 49.452.22.80.96incl51.252.21.01.86BED-17-005*3456.222.21.07incl37.856.218.41.26 43.856.212.41.71 50.556.25.73.37 52.555.22.76.59 53.355.21.98.9BED-17-006*51532.02.66BED-17-007*385113.00.63incl50511.05.46BED-17-008*50511.02.65BED-17-009*NSABED-17-010*32.334.32.00.44BED-17-011*31.44513.60.34Incl31.435.74.30.51BED-17-012*23.9251.10.74BED-17-013*12.535.523.00.80incl12.516.54.03.09 14.515.51.011.2 34.535.51.04.04BED-17-014*134936.00.63incl132512.01.16 13185.02.06 23252.01.4 44495.01.55 44451.05.83BED-17-015ANSABED-17-01684.792.78.02.4incl88.992.73.84.76 88.9912.17.87BED-17-017NSABED-17-01842.762.219.50.13BED-17-01974.2805.82.03 incl74.278...
