Benton Resources Inc. announced that it has successfully completed its Phase 2 drill program, encompassing 15 holes for a total of 3,260 m, at its Great Burnt Project in Newfoundland. Results for the initial drill holes are expected shortly and will be released once received and compiled. In addition, the Company has engaged Eastern Geophysics to complete a Crone downhole pulse electro- magnetics survey on 7 drill holes for targeting of massive sulphides near the main zone over a 300-400 m area. This includes surveying the two deepest holes completed by Benton to date to test for further expansion of the massive sulphide zone. Benton's team continues to be excited about the excellent potential of Great Burnt project and the mobilization of the geophysical crew will commence this week. Upon completion of the survey, the Company will prepare for its Phase 3 exploration program to begin in
May-June, which will include drilling, trenching, surface sampling, prospecting, structural mapping, a well as soil and rock geochemistry sampling.
