[{"type":"text","content":"Benton Drills 26.87m of 7.18% Cu, Including 10.28m of 11.16% Cu at Great BurntThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2023) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received assay results for three additional drill holes that continue to expand and better define the Great Burnt Copper Deposit. Hole GB-23-04 intersected 26.87m grading 7.18% Cu, including 10.28m grading 11.16% Cu (see photo below). GB-23-03 and GB-23-05, (see table below), were both drilled up dip from historic holes and, intersected the Cu-rich zone. These results will expand the deposit, which remains open for further expansion. The Company's drill program is still ongoing with 4,906m drilled in 18 drill holes thus far, all of which have intersected stringer, semi-massive and massive sulphides. The Company would also like to mention that the assays have returned significant cobalt values that could significantly enhance the economics of the deposit. Cobalt is another designated critical metal in Canada and the table below shows the cobalt, which was not previously reported for holes GB-23-01 and GB-23-02.President and CEO Stephen Stares states \"The Great Burnt drilling is delivering exceptional results in grades and thicknesses. It is extremely rare to have such great success so early in an inaugural program. This speaks volumes to the potential of this high-grade project. I'm truly excited about the exploration for the remaining 2023 season and moving into 2024\".
