THUNDER BAY, ON, June 22 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton") is pleased to announce that the management of Benton, along with five prospectors and two Teck Cominco Limited ("Teck Cominco") geologists, has mobilized to the King Lake Nickel Project in Labrador. The team will evaluate large conductive zones identified from the airborne survey recently flown by Aeroquest Limited. The King Lake project is located 60 km north of the world class Voisey's Bay nickel deposit and is host to numerous, high-grade nickel-copper showings that have returned up to 6.8% copper and 1.9% nickel and is currently the focus of a joint venture between Benton and Teck Cominco. The airborne geophysical survey located several strong electromagnetic anomalies on the property including a large conductive zone which measures greater than 400 metres wide by 1000 metres long. This large conductive zone is coincident with a moderate magnetic anomaly, a rusty gossanous outcrop, and many nickel-copper-cobalt lake sediment anomalies similar to those in the vicinity of the Voisey's Bay deposit. The conductive zone is also spatially related to the outer rim of a large intrusion and east-west oriented structures, comparable to the environment noted at the Voisey's Bay deposit.

Benton is excited about the project and believes the conductors could represent possible nickel-rich and copper-rich sulphide zones. Ground follow-up, now underway, will concentrate on locating, mapping, prospecting, and sampling the conductive zones over the next few weeks. Results from the first phase exploration program will be released when they are received and will be followed up by ground geophysics and diamond drilling. Airborne survey maps which demonstrate the similarities between King Lake and Voisey's Bay can be found on Benton's website at www.bentonresources.ca.

Clinton Barr (P.Geo.), V.P. Exploration for Benton Resources Corp., is the qualified person responsible for this release.
