Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has received shareholder approval to spin out approximately 2 million of its 4 million common shares of Vinland Lithium Inc. to its shareholders. The spin-out, approved at the March 21, 2025 annual meeting, will distribute shares at a ratio of approximately 50 Vinland shares per 5,000 Benton shares.
Vinland Lithium, which holds the Killick Lithium Project, is currently owned by Benton (40%), Sokoman Minerals (40%), and Piedmont Lithium Newfoundland Holdings (20%). The distribution is expected to occur around April 30, 2025. Notably, Piedmont has invested CAD$2.0M at CAD$1.00 per share and has the option to earn up to 62.5% direct interest in Killick Lithium by spending CAD$12.0M in exploration and development.
Upon Piedmont completing all earn-in options, they will have paid Benton and Sokoman CAD$10.0M in Piedmont Lithium shares. Benton and Sokoman will collectively retain a 2% NSR on the Killick project.
Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has expanded its Great Burnt Main Zone (GBMZ) copper deposit from 850m to 950m down plunge. Recent drilling highlights include hole GB-25-60 intersecting 4.14% copper over 21.70m, including an impressive 5.97% copper over 14.70m and 20.78% copper over 2.00m.
The company made a significant new discovery 200m north of GBMZ, with hole GB-25-59 encountering two mineralized zones: an upper zone yielding 0.69% copper over 14.40m with associated gold mineralization (0.67g/t Au), and a lower zone returning 0.80% copper over 15.00m.
Down-hole electromagnetic surveys indicate further expansion potential at both the main deposit and the new northern discovery. The current drill program totaled 3,127m, with Benton holding a 70% interest in the project while Homeland Nickel maintains 30%.
Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) reports significant drilling results from its Great Burnt Main Zone (GBMZ) copper project. Drill hole GB-25-60 intercepted a 15.00m section containing 10.40m of massive and semi-massive sulphide with heavy chalcopyrite, with core angles estimated at 80-90% true thickness.
The company also announced a new discovery in the North Stringer Zone (NSZ), where hole GB-25-59 intersected two well-mineralized chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite zones. The current drill program has completed 3,220m to date, targeting various new areas including the North Stringer/Footwall Zones.
Benton has temporarily paused drilling while awaiting results and completing geophysical programs. Eastern Geophysics has been contracted for downhole EM surveying, and a deep surface ground EM survey is planned for selected areas including the South Pond Copper-Gold deposit. Benton holds a 70% interest in the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project, with Homeland Nickel Inc. holding the remaining 30%.
Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has successfully expanded its Great Burnt Main Zone (GBMZ) to 950m in strike length down plunge. Recent drilling highlights include:
- Hole GB-25-53: 7.2m of heavy stringer and semi-massive copper mineralization
- Hole GB-25-54: 10.43m of stringer, semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization, plus a second 10.76m mineralized zone
The current drill program, totaling 2,370m to date, has targeted several new areas including North Stringer/Footwall zones and various shallow magnetic and geophysical anomalies. Most drill holes have intersected weak to strong mineralization. The company plans to conduct downhole geophysics to define potential massive sulphide zones at depth for further drilling.
Benton holds a 70% interest in the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project, with Homeland Nickel Inc. holding the remaining 30%. The project spans 25km in strike length.
Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has announced significant copper results from its Great Burnt project. Drill hole GB-24-49 intersected the Main Zone with 22.0 meters grading 7.47% copper, including 15.0 meters of 10.02% copper and 8.0 meters of 11.93% copper. The hole also confirmed mineralization in a parallel Footwall Zone, with sections grading 0.25% copper and 0.9g/t gold over 9.5 meters.
The company has resumed drilling to test this parallel horizon and the down plunge extension of the Main Zone. Additionally, anomalous results were discovered 200m west of the historical End Zone, including sections with 0.17% copper and a 4.0m section grading 0.12% nickel. Benton holds a 70% interest in the Great Burnt Copper-Gold project, with Homeland Nickel Inc. holding the remaining 30%.

Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has announced its best gold results to date at the South Pond Gold-Copper Zone (SPGCZ) within its Great Burnt Lake project in Newfoundland. The key highlight is drill hole SP-24-32, which cut 1.88 g/t Au over 54.50 m, including two higher-grade zones: an upper section grading 2.41 g/t over 14.00 m (including 9.68 g/t over 1.00 m) and a lower section grading 3.34 g/t over 12.00 m (including 4.87 g/t over 3.00 m).
The SPGCZ structure spans approximately 3.0 km and remains open, located 8 km north of the Great Burnt Lake Copper Deposit. The company plans to resume drilling in mid-January at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit and has scheduled a 15,000 m drill program for 2025.

Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has completed a significant drill hole at the Great Burnt Main Deposit, intersecting 21.1 meters of semi-massive to massive sulphide with high-grade copper mineralization at the main zone, and 12.3 meters of stringer mineralization in the footwall zone. The drill hole GB-24-49 served as both an infill hole within the Main Deposit and tested a parallel conductor approximately 150 meters east of the main deposit. The footwall intersection at 393 meters revealed hard silicified mafic volcanics with stringer pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Drilling will pause for Christmas and resume in mid-January to test additional deep and parallel targets. Benton holds a 70% interest in the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project, with Homeland Nickel holding the remaining 30%.
Benton Resources has resumed drilling at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit (GBCD) to test newly identified parallel and deep EM conductors. The company has extended the South Pond Gold-Copper Zone to 2.3 km in length, which remains open to expansion. Notable drilling results from 2023-2024 include intersections of up to 13.00m of 8.31% Cu and 26.87m of 7.18% Cu.
A new semi-massive sulphide zone has been discovered 1 km south of South Pond, and a further 15,000m drill program is planned for 2024-2025. The company's geological model suggests mineralized sequence is structurally thickened, potentially suitable for shallow open-pit mining methods.
