Benton Resources Inc. shares surged following the release of new exploration results from its high-grade copper-gold Great Burnt Project in central Newfoundland.

Expansion of Great Burnt Deposit
Benton has reported that its Phase 3.0 diamond drill program has successfully intercepted massive sulphides, expanding the deposit further down plunge and along strike to the south. This expansion, along with promising gold assays from the South Pond area, indicates the project’s growth potential and the presence of valuable mineralization.
The company’s ongoing exploration efforts, including extensive channel sampling and soil sampling, are aimed at identifying new mineralized zones and confirming the resource potential at Great Burnt.
Joint Ventures and Lithium Projects
In addition to the Great Burnt Project, Benton Resources is partnered with Sokoman Minerals Corp. on multiple large-scale projects in Newfoundland, including the Kraken and Killiick lithium discoveries. The joint venture agreement with Sokoman and the involvement of Piedmont Lithium Inc. in the Killick Lithium Project demonstrate the company’s diversified approach to mineral exploration.
