Benton Mobilizes Drill to New High Grade Nickel, Copper, Platinum and Palladium Discovery at Bark Lake
Posted on: Friday, 22 February 2008, 09:00 CST
Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company has mobilized a drill to the Bark Lake project. The first phase drill program will consist of 5-7 holes totaling a minimum of 1000 metres of drilling. The program will focus on testing moderate to strong induced polarization anomalies coincidental with magnetic anomalies. These anomalies lie within close proximity to high grade base and precious metal surface samples which returned individual assays grading up to 1.5% Nickel, 1.2% Copper, 2.6 grams per tonne (gpt) Platinum, 1.4gpt Palladium and 0.7gpt gold. 12 out of the 16 samples taken from the area returned results higher in Platinum than Palladium. Management believes the project has excellent potential and results of the diamond drilling program will be released as they are received.
Clinton Barr (P.Geo.), V.P. Exploration for Benton Resources Corp., is the qualified person responsible for this release.
