Benton Appoints Thomas Weisel Partners as Strategic Advisor

Benton Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BTC) announced that its board of directors today approved the appointment of Thomas Weisel Partners International Limited as exclusive financial advisor to the Company in relation to a wide-ranging review of the strategic options that are available to the Company.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The review will focus on efforts to unlock the underlying value of Benton’s assets, which include both diverse interests in mining projects and equity interests in other exploration and development companies. Benton believes that there is a significant dislocation between those underlying asset values and its stock price and that the ability of its shareholders to realize the full potential of their investment will benefit from an active approach to the entire asset portfolio.
