Vancouver-based Benton Resources (BEX) is reporting the results of the company’s Phase II Drilling program at its Far Lake Copper-Silver Project.

The Far Lake Copper-Silver project is located 80 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The second phase of drilling at Far Lake totalled 2,696 metres.
Drilling was designed to test new areas associated with surface mineralization as well as various chargeability anomalies outlined by a deep, 3D IP geophysical survey.
Highlights from this latest campaign include copper mineralization in the previously untested Centre Pond zone, intersected at a drill hole depth of 338 metres.
The mineral exploration company continues to be encouraged by the copper mineralization identified in the intrusive complex and will continue to model the data collected for further targeting on the project.
The company is collecting up to 3,500 soil samples for multi-element analysis and is actively mapping and prospecting the property to generate further targets for drilling later this year.
Benton Resources is a Canadian-based project generator with a diversified property portfolio in Gold, Silver, Nickel, Copper, and Platinum group elements. Benton holds multiple projects available for option.
Benton Resources is down 2 per cent, trading at C$0.24 at 11:19 am ET.
