Benton Resources Receives Final Results From Cape Ray Trenching

Marketwired

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 17, 2015) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the final results from an extensive trenching program on the 51 and 41 zones of the Cape Ray Gold Project. All samples collected on the two zones have now been received.

On Sept. 9, 2015 the Company announced all results for the 51 zone which was exposed and sampled for a strike length of approximately 200m and returned encouraging assays including 8.7 gram per tonne (gpt) gold (Au) and 27.12 gpt silver (Ag) over 5.4 metres (m) for section F, 11.27 gpt Au and 26.89 gpt Ag over 6.8m (section G) and 13.57 gpt Au with 39.33 gpt Ag over 5.2m (section R).

The trenching efforts over the 41 zone consisted of two separate trenches over a strike length of approximately 125m, although flooding restricted exposure to about 85m. Highlights of the channel assay results include 3.5gpt Au with 14.14gpt Ag over 8.4m (section A) and 25.34gpt Au with 37.93gpt Ag over 1.6m. Individual gold and silver assays were cut to 40gpt and 80gpt respectively, prior to calculating weighted composites.

The information collected in the trenching program will now be incorporated into the deposits models in preparation for an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to be completed by Benton's partner, Nordmin Engineering. A complete table of results for the trenching program is listed on the company's website along with maps and pictures of the trenches (www.bentonresources.ca).
