Multiple Conductive Horizons Identified at Benton's Mealy Lake Cu-Ni-PGM Project
Marketwired - Thu Nov 06, 8:04AM CST
Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company" is pleased to announce that the Company's joint venture partner (the "Partner" has recently completed a 2,950km VTEMplus electro magnetics (EM) and magnetics (Mag) airborne survey at the Mealy Lake property in Labrador of which 1254km covered Benton's land position. Preliminary data suggests multiple strong and moderate EM conductors have been identified in numerous areas of the project. Subsequent field follow up to assess the preliminary conductive areas have identified pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite sulphide mineralization in limited gossanous exposures that appear to have cumulate textures. To date, preliminary grab samples in two areas within the Benton option ground have returned values from copper mineralization with one area assaying from trace to 1% copper. Soils were also completed in areas showing anomalous EM responses but limited outcrop exposure to aid in identification of possible base and precious metal mineralization. Due to the late season start, processing of geophysical data and compilation of ground data is currently ongoing.

Benton Completes Drilling at Cape Ray and Announces Final Assay Results
Marketwired - Wed Nov 05, 11:14AM CST
Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company" is pleased to announce that it has now received all results from drilling on the Cape Ray Project. The Company completed 3051.6m of diamond drilling in 17 exploratory holes. While most drill holes were designed to test for new gold mineralization outside the known resources, two holes PB14-393 and 394 were successful in confirming the continuity of gold mineralization between the 04 and 41 deposits indicating that there is potential to merge the two deposits into one and thus increasing the overall resource. PB14-393 intersected 3 separate zones of mineralized graphitic fault and quartz vein material that graded 2.18gpt Au with 5.2gpt Ag over 1.0m from 131.2 to 132.2m, 6.89gpt Au with 60.5gpt Ag over 1.1m from 172.5 to 173.6m, and 0.57gpt Au with 13.0gpt Ag over 2.6m from 254.6 to 257.2m. Drill hole PB14-394 also intersected multiple mineralized horizons that graded 2.07gpt Au with 2.45gpt Ag over 1.8m from 172.2 to 174m and 2.2gpt Au with 5.2gpt Ag over 0.5 m from 182.0 to 182.5m (all thicknesses are core length).
