Benton Initiates Deep IP and Ground Gravity Surveys on Its Far Lake IOCG Project

 Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ('Benton' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce that it has engaged Abitibi Geophysics Inc. to complete a DasVision Induced Polarization (IP) and a ground gravity survey on its Far Lake Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) project located 80km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The DasVision, distributed array survey, is designed for deep mineral exploration, up to 1000m depth, and will include a 3D inversion of the data to allow for integration with existing exploration work. The IP and gravity surveys will encompass a 4km x 4km area, representing Benton's main exploration zone and where known Cu mineralization is concentrated. Assay results from the first phase of drilling at Far Lake (see Company news release dated November 19, 2020), and the IPgravity survey data should be received early January 2021.

The Company continues to compile, analyze and interpret all exploration data and looks forward to integrating each dataset in 3D to allow for precise targeting of Cu mineralization at depth. A second phase of drilling is expected to commence when all survey and assay data has been compiled and modelled.
