Benton Continues to Intersect Gold at Bedivere Project
Benton Continues to Intersect Gold at Bedivere Project
Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 29, 2018) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is
pleased to provide the latest diamond drill results at the Bedivere gold project located in northwestern Ontario. Highlights from
the recent winter drill campaign include BED-18-022, the deepest hole to date on the Traxxin zone, which assayed 1.61g/t over
20.0m including 3.43g/t over 7.4m and 9.11g/t over 1.0m and 7.65g/t over 1.0m.
The Company continues to delineate the
distinctive higher grade plunge within the wider mineralized and altered structure. During the current drill program the company
encountered deeper overburden than expected to the north in the lake that posed a problem for the small drill thus two of the
furthest holes to the north had to be abandoned.
Two exploration holes were also drilled in the central part of the project to test
ground geophysical induced polarization anomalies and linear magnetic bodies.
The first was shut down short of target at 60m
in altered volcanics due to loss of water and the second was drilled to a depth of 226m which encountered small zones of pyrite
and pyrrhotite sulfide mineralization. The Company has now completed a total of 21 diamond drill holes on the Traxxin zone and
a further 6 holes testing other targets on the project, totaling over 3000m. The latest results are listed below and a map can been
viewed on the Company's website.

The core was split or cut in half with one half being stored for future reference and the other half tagged and sent to Activation
Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The core samples were analyzed for gold using fire assay with an atomic absorption
finish. Samples with grades greater than 5gpt gold were completed with a gravimetric finish. Standards and blanks were
inserted into the sample batches as part of the Company's QA/QC protocols.
