Tuesday May 22, 1:53 pm ET

THUNDER BAY, ON, May 22 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton") is pleased to announce that it has started a 1000-metre, three-hole diamond drill program on the Flying Loon project located in northwestern Ontario. The drill program will follow up on the gold zone intersected in the final hole (FL-06-10) of last year's drill program. Hole 06-10 was designed to test an 800m long magnetic anomaly with a coincident weak electromagnetic response and intersected 4.3 grams per tonne gold over 1.6 metres. The true thickness is unknown at this time. The current drill program will test the mineralization in both strike directions and vertically below the zone, and is expected to be complete prior to the end of the month. At that time, the drill rig will be mobilized to Benton's Bermuda property where it will join a second rig to initiate a minimum 20,000-metre program.
Clinton Barr (P.Geo.), V.P. Exploration for Benton Resources Corp., is the qualified person responsible for this release.
