[{"type":"text","content":"Benton Expands The Great Burnt Copper Deposit Down Plunge Through Recent Drilling Results from Phase 3 ExplorationThunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2024) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received results from the phase three drill program (see Table 1) at the Great Burnt project in Newfoundland. These latest results continue to show that the Great Burnt Deposit is continuous down plunge and along strike to the south, adding substantially to the deposit at depth. Drill hole GB-24-45 cut 12.30 meters of 1.72 % Cu and 5.55 g/t Ag over 12.30 m with higher grades up to 6.12% Cu and 11.30 g/t Ag over 1.00 m in drill hole GB-24-41 (See Figure 1). The Company has recently started its phase four drill program, with the first hole collared and in-progress a further 200 m along strike to the south. This hole is targeting the deposit at approximately 450 m below surface. Company President and CEO, Stephen Stares stated, \"The recent set of Phase 3 results received at Great Burnt are in line with most viable VMS deposits around the globe and are very substantial as we continue to expand the VMS system. Due to the nature of prior phases of results at the Great Burnt Deposit, we are hopeful to intersect higher grades, as we continue to expand the deposit at depth and along strike, both of which remain completely open.\" Figure 1 - Great Burnt Copper Deposit Generalized Longitudinal SectionsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3657/221208_68850f8534cb08f0_002full.jpgAt South Pond, the Company has planned 12 holes to date, with many more to be proposed along the 2.7 km trend. This drilling will commence after the deep drilling is completed at Great Burnt. In addition, and for the interest of shareholders, the Company would like to illustrate the total potential value using Cu Equivalent which is adopted by many peers in the industry. The Company has assembled a table with Cu and Cu Equivalents to show the comparison from highlights of all holes drilled in Phase 3.
