Benton Resources (TSXV:BEX) has released value-accretive assays from its completed phase-I drill program at the Great Burnt copper deposit in Newfoundland.
The three drill holes reported Wednesday significantly expand high-grade continuity along strike and down plunge, while remaining open to further expansion.
GB-23-12 yielded 25.42 m grading 5.51 per cent copper, including 9.78 m grading 8.31 per cent copper, near the core of the high-grade lens, the deepest high-grade drill intersection on Great Burnt to date. An interval within this lens returned 8.77 per cent copper, 4.43 g/t gold, 82 g/t silver and 1.12 per cent zinc over 1 m. GB-23-13 and GB-23-14 also encountered the copper-rich zone.
Management is “very encouraged with the expansion of this high-grade system where it remains open up/down dip, down plunge and along strike,” according to a news release, which includes a full list of drill results.
Investors can expect further results as the company prepares for an upcoming drill program to expand, confirm and improve upon known high-grade mineralization at Great Burnt.
