(BTC - TSX Venture, BNRJF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), (\"Benton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that geophysical airborne surveys have been completed on the Hope Brook property located in the southwest corner of Newfoundland and the Rim Property located 100 kilometres south of the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Labrador. New maps of the surveys will be posted on the company website when the data has been interpreted.\n\nThe Company would also like to announce the completion of the Armit Lake diamond drill program. A total of 2151 metres in 13 drill holes have been completed. All split core samples have been delivered to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay and results will be released as they are received and compiled. \n\nThe Company would also like to release the result of the recently completed drill program on the Bark Lake property. A total of 1414 metres were completed in seven diamond drill holes testing various geophysical anomalies (magnetic and induced polarization (IP)) across the property. Two of the drill holes intersected the mineralized mafic-ultramafic intrusive rock unit that may represent the source of the high-grade mineralized boulders located due south (BTC NR October 5, 2007). Although the platinum (Pt) to palladium (Pd) ratios in the drill core and mineralized boulders are similar, additional drilling is required to determine the exact location of the mineralized boulders. The next drill phase on the Bark Lake property will target the distinct high magnetic anomaly to search for mineralized basal and potential feeder zones to the mineralized ultramafic body.\n\nResults:\n\nHole_ID From To Interval Au Pt Pd TPM %Cu %Ni\n metres ppb ppb pp...
