Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 5, 2024) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it's Phase 3 diamond drill program is well underway at the Great Burnt Deposit. Field crews have also started exploration trenching at South Pond located, 15 km to the north. Additionally, regional prospecting and soil geochemical sampling have been initiated along the northern part of the belt.
The Company has completed two diamond drill holes and started the third, all of which were designed to target the updip geophysical anomalies identified in last winter's down-hole Pulse EM survey. The Pulse EM survey was conducted on GB 24-34 and 35 and identified a strong anomaly updip as well as down plunge to the south. The first Phase 3 drill hole, GB 24-38, was anticipated to be 30-40m updip above GB 24-34 but didn't shallow as expected, intersecting 3.00m semi-massive/massive sulphides approximately 16m above hole GB 24-34. GB 24-39, also drilled updip of GB 24-34, cut 9.00 m of semi-massive/massive sulphides containing sections of visual chalcopyrite (see GB-24-39 photo below) approximately 46m above GB-24-34 (see Figure 1). Once the Company defines the limits of the updip boundary of the deposit, it will move south, targeting expansion in that direction.
