Benton Resources Inc.'s (BEX.V) Stephen Stares on Great Burnt Copper-Gold Drilling and New High-Grade Zone (Newfoundland) - Ellis Martin Report

Malibu, CA, Oct 9, 2025 AEST (ABN Newswire) - In this episode of The Ellis Martin Report and Money Talk Radio, Ellis speaks with Stephen Stares, President & CEO of Benton Resources Inc. (CVE:BEX) (BNTRF:OTCMKTS) - a project generator advancing a portfolio of multi-metal opportunities while holding equity stakes and NSR royalties across the sector.

The focus today: Great Burnt (Newfoundland) - a high-grade copper-gold project in a top-tier Canadian jurisdiction with infrastructure (roads, hydro) already in place.

Project Snapshot

- Model: Project generator with equity positions + retained NSR royalties where possible

- Flagship: Great Burnt copper-gold project, central Newfoundland

- MRE: 442,000 tonnes @ 2.5% Cu (Indicated) and 829,000 tonnes @ 2.11% Cu (Inferred)

- Scale: 25 km of strike; six known Cu-Au-Ag zones across ~15 km; numerous untested geophysical targets + copper-gold soil anomalies

- Jurisdiction: Mining-friendly Newfoundland with roads and hydropower

What's New

- $2M financing closed; active drill program underway

- Target areas include South Pond and the Great Burnt deposit (expansion)

- North Great Burn Gold (NGB) Zone: surface samples up to 31 g/t Au; prior hole GB-23-063 cut >5 g/t Au over 3 m; strike now traced for >200 m and open to the north

- Copper story remains robust with high-grade copper intercepts over significant widths reported across the past ~20 months

- Management notes renewed sector interest and believes the junior space is set up for a stronger cycle, with Benton positioned to scale a larger resource at Great Burnt

Why it matters: Benton blends the upside of discovery with the capital discipline of a generator model - drilling where the vectors are hottest while keeping optionality through equity stakes and royalties. Newfoundland's combination of geology plus access adds leverage to results.
