(TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has completed approximately 70% of a planned 5 km-long surface Pulse Electromagnetic (\"EM\") survey along the northern portion of the South Pond trend on the Great Burnt Property. Interpretation of the data collected to date has identified several new, extensive conductive plates, along with large conductive plates directly associated with known mineralized zones at surface. Preliminary interpretation suggests that the known zones may be situated near the crest of an anticlinal fold, with additional conductive EM plates located to the east and west along the limbs of the structure. Diamond drilling and further geological mapping will target these conductive zones in the next phase of drilling (see Figure 1).Figure 1: South Pond Drilling and EM ConductorsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3657/249299_d9c17a0094d82886_002full.jpgThe South Pond trend has been drill-tested at shallow depths over a strike length of approximately 2.3 km with impressive results highlighted below.
