(TSXV: BEX) (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has acquired by staking, a 100% interest in 8 claim units covering the southern favourable geological extension located approximately 1.2 km to the south of the Great Burnt Copper Deposit. Recent mapping and prospecting have identified multiple quartz stockwork and veins containing galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite near a previously identified government showing. Assays are pending for this new sampling.The Company has also received new results from channel sampling at the South Pond deposit. These results include 3.78 g/t Gold (Au), 0.68 % Copper (Cu) and 4.10 g/t Silver (Ag) over 5.10 m including 9.91 g/t Au, 1.60% Cu and 5.50 g/t Ag with multiple other samples grading over 1 g/t Au and 1% Cu from various samples across other trenches (See Channel Table below). TrenchLength (m)Ag (g/t)Au (g/t)Cu (%)Cu Eq  Malachite5.104.103.790.683.11  incl2.806.395.850.914.66  incl1.005.509.911.607.91    #1 West3.006.201.751.822.98  incl1.008.503.202.104.19    #1 West1.701.690.350.680.91  incl0.704.100.771.482.00    NSZ0.703.400.071.381.45    NSZ1.502.100.070.920.98  incl0.502.900.071.201.27    NSZ2.001.750.040.760.80  incl1.002.400.061.051.11    NSZ4.000.500.030.440.46  incl1.001.600.061.081.13 Note: Cu Eq calculated from Metal Equivalent Calculator @ www.metalequivalent.com Diamond drilling will resume this week, and the Company is planning a deeper drilling program at the Great Burnt Deposit, extending 200 m down plunge to south in hopes of expanding the deposit beyond the successful expansion in Phase 3. Drilling is also planned at the South Pond deposit through to the South Pond B deposit where a recent ground magnetics survey has detailed numerous high priority targets.
