Benton Resources Inc. - BNTRF STOCK NEWS

Benton Resources continues its Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit, successfully expanding the deposit approximately 150m down plunge and along strike to the south. Out of 10 holes drilled, 7 intersected massive sulphide. Preliminary gold assays from the South Pond area showed promising grades up to 9.91 gpt Au and 5.19 gpt Au, with more base metal results pending. Soil sampling identified a new 2 km gold anomaly. Historic and new geophysical data are being interpreted for further exploration.

Benton Resources announced an academic partnership for the Killick Lithium Project in Newfoundland. The project, which began on April 1, 2024, has been awarded $1.32 million in research grants over three years by NSERC. The research aims to understand the origin of lithium resources in the region. The collaboration involves St. Francis Xavier University and Memorial University, along with contributions from Sokoman Minerals, Piedmont Lithium, and the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador. The research will provide training opportunities for students in field methods and data collection. The project aligns with Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy, aimed at boosting the supply of critical minerals for the green and digital economy.

Benton Resources announced significant progress in its Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit, intersecting substantial sulphide mineralization. The drill holes GB 24-38 and GB 24-39 revealed copper-rich zones, with the latter cutting 9.00m of semi-massive/massive sulphides.

Additionally, trenching at South Pond has exposed promising mineralization, enhancing targets for the summer drilling campaign. The company also initiated regional prospecting and geochemical sampling to expand exploration. Previous drilling phases reported high copper grades, including 13.00m at 8.31% Cu and 26.87m at 7.18% Cu.

President and CEO Stephen Stares expressed optimism about the project's potential, highlighting its high-grade copper, gold, silver, and cobalt in a prime jurisdiction. Analytical protocols have been adhered to, ensuring accurate and reliable assay results.

Benton Resources has mobilized a field crew to its Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland for regional exploration and a Phase 3 drill program starting late May. Benton has contracted a minimum 3,000m drill project with plans to expand based on success. The program includes geochemical sampling, trenching, geological mapping, and extensive drilling of regional targets. Previous drill results show high copper concentrations, such as 13.00m of 8.31% Cu in GB-23-02 and 26.87m of 7.18% Cu in GB-23-04. The company is well-funded for up to 15,000m of drilling. Benton's QA/QC protocols ensure the reliability of analysis through accredited labs.

Benton Resources Inc. has secured additional land packages at the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland through agreements with SSAF Inc. and individual prospector Mervin Quinlan. The acquisitions will enhance Benton's exploration efforts, with significant copper findings reported in recent drilling. Benton is also on track to acquire a 70% interest in the project from Spruce Ridge Resources Inc. and is set to commence an aggressive exploration season.

Benton Resources Inc. reports high-grade copper results from the Great Burnt Copper Deposit, including 7.25% Cu over 4.50 m and 18.65% Cu over 1.10 m. The company appoints Alan King as an advisor and provides an update on drilling plans. The recent drilling confirms significant copper mineralization in the Main Zone, with plans to drill additional high-priority targets. Benton also closes a non-brokered private placement, raising $2.36 million.

Benton Resources Inc. files for exchange approval for a non-brokered private placement financing, issuing 15,755,334 units at $0.15 per unit, with additional warrants, totaling $2,363,300 in gross proceeds. The funds will be used to advance the Great Burnt Copper-Gold project in Newfoundland.

Benton Resources Inc. announces high-grade copper results expanding the Great Burnt Copper Deposit. Ongoing geophysical program identifies conductive massive sulphides, leading to selection of new drilling targets. Infill drill holes confirm significant Cu mineralization, potentially upgrading the resource. The company also plans a non-brokered private placement for up to $3 million.

Benton Resources Inc. completes successful Phase 2 drill program at Great Burnt Project, Newfoundland, expanding deposit and demonstrating potential for further expansion. Results of the initial drill holes are expected soon.
