("Benton" or the\n"Company", BTC:TSX-V) completes phase one drilling on the Goodchild Nickel\nproject where Benton is in joint venture with Stillwater Mining Company\n(Stillwater). This first phase has identified several areas of anomalous\nNickel and Copper and a second phase program is currently being planned.\n\n\nResults of the drilling from Goodchild drilling are as follows:\n\n Core\nDrill Hole From To Thickness %Co %Cu %Ni\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nGC08-01 40.90 43.90 3.0 0.014 0.023 0.290\nGC08-02 45.00 62.00 17.0 0.011 0.016 0.085\n 46.50 49.50 3.0 0.027 0.044 0.240\nGC08-08 105.00 109.00 4.0 0.013 0.061 0.235\nGC08-08 106.00 107.00 1.0 0.019 0.235 0.229\n 115.00 119.00 4.0 0.011 0.001 0.246\n 139.40 144.00 4.6 0.012 0.055 0.244\nGC08-08 140.90 141.25 0.35 0.017 0.693 0.290\n 147.50 149.00 4 0.012 0.003 0.246\nGC08-09 105.00 109.00 4.0 0.013 0.061 0.235\n 115.00 119.00 4.0 0.011 0.001 0.246\n 139.40 144.00 4.6 0.012 0.055 0.244\n 147.50 151.50 4.0 0.012 0.003 0.246\nGC08-10 131.00 160.50 29.5 0.011 0.010 0.180\n 180.50 185.00 4.5 0.023 0.022 0.274\nGC08-12 102.50 104.00 1.5 0.020 0.102 0.037\n\n\nIn addition, Benton Resources Corp.

("PFN") (TSX: PFN) and are pleased to announce drill results\nfrom the Heenan property, which forms part of the Benton/PFN Swayze joint\nventure project located in the Swayze Greenstone Belt, southwest of Timmins,\nOntario. Drilling targeted gold mineralization that was first discovered by\nprospectors J. Hussey and A. Aube in 1997 and has not seen any exploration\nactivity until the Swayze JV optioned the Heenan claim block in late 2007. As\npart of the 2008 work program designed to evaluate the nickel potential of the\njoint venture area, prospecting by Benton Resources on the Heenan property\nreturned grab samples grading from (less than)2 grams per tonne gold up to 6.4\ngrams per tonne gold. The mineralized zone is hosted within sericite,\ncarbonate +/- albite altered metavolcanic rocks having trace to 10% fine\ngrained disseminated sulphides and is coincident with a distinct 600\nmeter-long induced polarization chargeability and resistivity anomaly.\n\n\nA total of 447 meters of drilling in three shallow ...
