The program will consist of six to seven diamond drill holes totaling about 3,000m testing a series of east-west trending conductive anomalies located within the main Suture Zone.
According to the company, the conductors may represent magmatic sulphide along an east-west trending structural conduit cutting through the Suture Zone similar to the emplacement of the Voisey’s Bay deposit.
In addition, Benton is planning a six to eight diamond drill hole program on its 100% owned Abernethy gold project located 10km southwest of Kenora, Ontario.
This property covers several well defined zones of electromagnetic conductors associated with gold in soil geochemistry.
The company has also acquired an option on 13 claims totaling 107 units located in Sewell Township in the west Timmins mining area.
Benton said that the Sewell property is an early stage gold project with several newly discovered gold occurrences which may host mineralization of economic potential.
