Benton Resources Corp. issued a press release today - the verbatim text is included below:

Benton Announces Drill Results from Golden Harp Option
Thunder Bay, Ontario: Benton Resources Corp ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results from the third phase drill program on the Golden Harp Option. The 12 hole, 2,852 meter drill program consisted of a series of stratigraphic fences designed to test a wide area of low grade gold mineralization and alteration associated with the MC and Crocker zones. This altered and mineralized stratigraphy is over 300 meters in width and is bounded by two north-northwest faults splaying off of the Hydro Creek fault. Previous drilling by Golden Harp Resources (GH drill holes) and by Benton (GH09 drill holes) have intersected significant intervals of gold mineralization including 0.90 gpt Au over 43.8 meters (GH-25), 0.62 gpt Au over 28.3 meters (GH-23), 4.5 gpt Au over 7.0 meters and 0.68 gpt Au over 20.5 meters (GH-19) and 0.43 gpt Au over 56 meters (GH09-22). The company continues to be encouraged by this large gold bearing system which is open in all directions. The drilling program was cut short due to the spring breakup. Future drilling anticipated further on this year will also focus on the Cook Zone. Last year Benton completed two drill programs that returned 5.03 gpt over 8.5m in GH09-01, 11.9 gpt Au over 5.5m in GH09-02 and 21.41 gpt Au over 3.0m in GH09-06.

The Golden Harp Block A property is located approximately 100 km south of Timmins and 87 km southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Benton is currently in the midst of earning up to a 70% interest in the property from Golden Harp Resources Inc. Numerous other zones also discovered by last falls prospecting program will also be subject to further ground follow up this summer prior to drill target selection. Results from the currently completed MC Zone drill program are as follows:

Benton is a Canadian based junior with multiple joint ventures and a diversified property portfolio in Gold, Nickel, Copper, and Platinum group elements. The company currently has approximately $12 million in cash, owns 34 million shares and 16 million warrant in Coro Mining Corp (TSX.COP), holds 1.6 million shares in Marathon PGM Corp (TSX.MAR), holds 1.6 million shares in Puget Ventures (TSX-V.PVS), holds 825,000 Bell Copper Corp (TSX-V.BCU) and retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty on the northern portion of the Marathon PGM deposit.
