Benton Intercepts Wide Zones of Copper and PGMs 1200m North of Marathon Deposit

Thursday December 13, 9:10 am ET

THUNDER BAY, ON, Dec. 13 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from the first 6 of 15 diamond drill holes completed on the Claw Lake mineralized zone, located on the northern portion of the Bamoos area of the Company's 100% owned Bermuda Property.
Results from these 6 drill holes continue to demonstrate potential that the Bermuda project may host significant copper (Cu) and platinum group metals (PGM) mineralization. Diamond drill hole CL-07-13, drilled 1200m north of the Marathon deposit, intersected multiple zones of significant PGM and Cu mineralization including 32.0m grading 1.18gpt TPM (Total Precious Metal (equal sign) platinum (Pt) + palladium (Pd) + gold (Au)) with 0.39% Cu. A separate intercept from this same hole returned 1.69gpt TPM with 0.28% Cu over 17.0 metres.

These drill results demonstrate similar grades and thicknesses to that of the Marathon deposit located to the south which now has an in-pit resource of 3.54 million oz TPM and 585 million pounds of Copper (MAR P.R November 29, 2007). Results for the remaining 9 drill holes will be released as they are received.

Following is a table of significant drill hole results:
