(TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce that Benton has received assays for the first 5 of 7 drill holes completed on the Panama Zone in the Red Lake Mining district. Each hole exhibits anomalous gold values over significant thickness and is consistent with the results of historical work. Benton's drilling has identified an extensive, 5+ metre quartz flooded shear zone containing variable amounts of pyrite and silicification associated with gold mineralization. Highlights for the first five holes at the Panama zone are as follows:Hole From (m)To (m)IntervalGold (g/t)CompositePL-19-0179.687.27.61.581.58g/t over 7.6mincl79.684.34.72.342.34g/t Au over 4.7mPL-19-02148.51556.51.231.23g/t Au over 6.5mPL-19-0379.685.45.81.211.21g/t Au over 5.8mincl82.484.422.552.55g/t Au over 2mPL-19-0472.878.65.81.071.07g/t Au over 5.8mincl75.878.62.81.671.67g/t Au over 2.8mPL-19-05B77.593.616.10.570.57g/t Au over 16.1incl899122.072.07g/t Au over 2m Note: Reported intercepts are core lengths not true widthsDrill-hole 8 in the program is underway and will test the Slate Zone where Benton had grab samples grading from trace to 6.17gpt gold. This sampling was located approximately 120m north of the area where a glacial till sampling survey by the Geological Survey of Canada, 1999 (Open File 3038) identified 107 gold grains in till sampling, the highest count in the survey. Benton believes that the grab samples may represent the source of the till anomaly and hole 8 will test this zone at depth. Results from the remaining holes will be released as they become available.
