THUNDER BAY, ON, June 9 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the results have been received from Geotech Ltd. ("Geotech") for an airborne geophysical survey completed over the Rim Property. The property is located in Labrador approximately 100km south of the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit. The report supplied by Geotech is a logistical report covering an 1863 line-kilometre survey and covers most of the property. The remainder has been covered by previous airborne surveys that are available in the public domain and will be integrated with the new survey into one compilation effort. A proper interpretation of the electromagnetic ("EM") data is also needed to determine the conductance and depth of the anomalous responses to help prioritize follow-up targets.

The magnetic data exhibits numerous structures crosscut the property in northeast, northwest and east-west orientations. A 6km by 4km area to the southwest portion of the property is of particular interest due to the convergence of the various structures coincident with the most intense conductive responses.

The preliminary airborne EM profile and total magnetic field maps can be viewed at the Company's website (www.bentonresources.ca).
