Benton Resources Inc. announced that it has received further high-grade copper results from the Great Burnt Copper Deposit in Newfoundland further delineating the high-grade copper core. In addition, the Company's ongoing efforts and interpretation of the recently completed down-hole geophysical program have confirmed a highly conductive anomaly extending to the south and along strike from hole GB-24-34. This high-priority target has been selected for drilling in the next phase of the drill program.

The survey's success will assist in identifying and prioritizing other targets on a regional scale as the summer exploration season ramps up. GB-24-37 returned 1.99% Cu over 18.10 m, including 7.25% Cu over 4.50 m and 18.65% Cu over 1.10 m. GB-24-36 also cut a wide interval of copper with 1.28% over 13.34 m, including 3.17% over 1.50 m. GB-24-35 was drilled approximately 20 m down dip below GB-24-34 which previously reported 1.75% Cu over 5.00 m, including 4.02% Cu and 1.68% Zn over 1.00 m. GB-24- 35 cut several small zones of semi-massive and stringer sulphides believed to be near the bottom of the VMS system where anomalous values grading 0.24% Cu over 1.40 m and 0.40% Cu over 0.75 m were obtained. The Company is planning to drill the zone up dip in the next drill program.

Alan is currently working as a consultant with his own company Geoscience North. His professional interests include the use of geophysics, new technology (and ideas), and data integration in exploration, mining, environmental, geotechnical and other applications. Pursuant to this appointment, the Company has granted 150,000 incentive stock options to Alan King at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of five years from the date of grant.

Since acquired the project in late 2023, the Company continue to have tremendous success. From intersecting significant grades and thicknesses, discovery of new high-grade surface samples, to identifying new geophysical targets, it's truly been a pleasure to explore this highly prospective property. With each step forward, it is becoming apparent that Great Burnt will deliver further positive and exciting results as move into the next phase of work.

In addition, the Company announced that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for its previously announced non-brokered private placement and has closed the financing accordingly.
