Covers extensions of two major structures linked to significant gold prospects and deposits in southern Newfoundland, including the past producing Hope Brook Gold Mine (First Mining – Big Ridge Gold) and the advanced Cape Ray Project (Matador Mining).. Rock units and structures on the Property are also related to those associated with new orogenic gold discoveries in central Newfoundland, including Sokoman’s 100%-owned Moosehead Project and New Found Gold’s Queensway Project. Property covers NE extension of Hope Brook structure which cuts rock units correlated with rocks further NE in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. Property extremely underexplored, despite known occurrences of gold, the presence of unsourced till, soil and stream sediment geochemical anomalies (> 5000 ppb Au), and the first-order commonalities and linkages between southern and central Newfoundland. In July 2021, an initial reconnaissance mission at Golden Hope was completed in order to get a firsthand look at the ground and to obtain samples in as many areas as possible. Mineralization observed included multiple occurrences of structurally controlled quartz veins with variable amounts of pyrite, as well as a previously unknown zone of locally significant arsenopyrite and pyrite (as stringers and veinlets comprising up to 10% of rock volume), that was noted to be several dozen metres in thickness and of unknown strike length. Overall, approximately 50 rock samples as well as seven stream sediment and four C-horizon till samples were collected and submitted for assaying/processing. The reconnaissance also discovered a swarm of Lithium-bearing pegmatites. 31.4% of the pegmatite samples gave values >1% Li2O with anomalous Beryllium, Cesium, Rubidium and Tantalum. This is the first Lithium discovery in Newfoundland and the Company will focus on mapping the pegmatites to determine their size and distribution of Li2O in the intrusion Gossan Sampling Golden Hope Site of Sulphide Enriched Meta Sediment Golden Hope – sulphide (arsenopyrite and pyrite) at gossan Spodumene-Beryl Pegmatite Li Pegmatite Li Pegmatite Latest News Benton Advised that Clean Air Metals Announces a PEA of the Current and Escape PGE-Cu-Ni Deposits of the Thunder Bay North Project, with Post-Tax NPV(5) of C$378m, IRR 29.8% December 1, 2021 Benton Options High Grade VMS-Gold Project, Central Newfoundland November 29, 2021 Benton and Sokoman Announce Gold Discovery at the Grey River Gold Project, Southern Newfoundland November 25, 2021 Contact info Stephen Stares, President & CEO sstares@bentonresources.ca / (807) 475-7474 Cathy Hume, Investor Relations cathy@chfir.com / (416) 868-1079 x 231 Fax (807) 475-7200 Address 684 Squier St Thunder Bay, ON P7B 4A8 Find us on: Facebook Twitter Linkedin Subscribe to our Newsletter Email * required First Name Last Name © Benton Resources - 2018-2021.
