[{"type":"text","content":"Benton Discovers Additional High-Grade Gold and Delineates Large Copper Soil Anomaly South of the Great Burnt Copper DepositThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2025) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received high-grade gold (Au) results ranging from trace up to 12.0 g/t Au from prospecting samples collected approximately 725 m northeast of the northernmost area of the South Pond (\"SP\") Gold Copper Deposit (Figures 1 and 2). Two samples were collected from local mineralized angular boulders containing pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite which returned 0.86 g/t Au and 12.0 g/t Au. The Company views this new discovery as significant, as it could extend the SP horizon by an additional 725 m. Benton is pleased to report that it has received results for 1,259 soil samples covering a 5.4 x 2 km grid area of the southern 12 km portion of the Great Burnt (\"GB\") project, where little historical work has been completed (Figure 3). Additionally, a large (2.5 km) multi-line copper anomaly has been delineated which shows similar characteristics to that of the GB main copper deposit. The Company is planning an airborne geophysical survey to cover this untested horizon in order to assist in targeting for future trenching and drilling. The Company's drill program is currently progressing well with 23 holes completed to date. A total of 21 holes tested the SP horizon over 2.7 km, designed to prove continuity along the current 3 km-long gold-copper trend. All holes have intersected excellent visual mineralization with further assays expected shortly. It is important to note that the SP gold zone is open to the north and south and, coupled with the new sampling of 12 g/t Au to the north and multiple surface samples and drill results 2-3 km to the south, it demonstrates that the system is very robust and large.Figure 1: Great Burnt Target AreasTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3657/275303_2f1a46060409a8ea_002full.jpgFigure 2: South Pond North Gold DiscoveryTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3657/275303_2f1a46060409a8ea_003full.jpgFigure 3: Great Burnt South Soil GridTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit...
