RE:Benton Reports Impressive Cu Grades At Great Burnt
Sokoman finding a high 5 to 6% copper boulder in a ditch alongside a logging road is significant. The boulder was likely dislodged during road building. That high a grade at surface is rare. Higher grades are usually encountered a depth in underground copper mines.
Here are the 5 top highest grade open pit mines in the world. The highest grade open pit in the world is First Quantum's open pit in Spain a 5%.

A 43-101 showed Great Burnt had 667,000 Tonnes (47.2 Mlb) Cu at 3.21% Indicated and 482,000 Tonnes (25.0 Mlb) Cu at 2.35% Inferred.
Benton defining significant copper deposits near Sokoman's Crippleback is encouraging.
Soil and rock sampling had gold showings. No drilling has been done previously.
As a result of the copper sample find Sokoman will be drilling.
