Strong up day. Beauty of a chart coming off the bottom! Up 41% on over 2 million shares traded. No news but looking strong coming off the bottom of the chart. Maybe the market is starting to wake up to this one.
Benton is focused on advancing its high-grade Great Burnt copper-gold project in central Newfoundland, which has a mineral resource estimate of 667,000 tonnes at 3.21 per cent copper indicated and 482,000 tonnes at 2.35 per cent copper inferred. The project has an excellent geological setting covering 25 kilometres of strike and boasts six known copper/gold/silver zones over 15 kilometres that are all open for expansion. Further potential for discovery is excellent given the extensive number of untested geophysical targets and copper/gold soil anomalies. Phase 1 and phase 2 drill programs returned impressive results, including 25.42 metres of 5.51 per cent copper, including 9.78 metres of 8.31 per cent copper, and 1.00 metre of 12.70 per cent copper.
