THUNDER BAY, ON, July 5 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton") is pleased to announce that they have staked an additional 788 claim units (19,700 hectares) contiguous to the west side of the King Lake nickel-copper project located 60 km north of the world class Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Labrador.
Benton and their partner Teck Cominco Limited are currently prospecting and geologically mapping the King Lake project, an initial work program that is scheduled to continue to mid-July. This early stage ground follow-up has confirmed the presence of local net-textured to semi-massive sulphides occurrences coincidental to the gossanous outcrop and large conductive anomaly reported on earlier (PR June 7, 2007 and June 22, 2007). Assays of the grab samples are pending. Subsequently, Benton elected to increase their land holdings in the area.

The King Lake Nickel project is host to numerous, high-grade nickel-copper showings that have returned up to 6.8% copper and 1.9% nickel. 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.

Benton remains excited about the potential of the project. Results of the initial follow-up program of prospecting and mapping will be released to the public domain as they are received and compiled.

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