BENTON RESOURCES CORP. (BTC) IDENTIFIES LARGE CONDUCTIVE ANOMALIES ON KING LAKE NICKEL PROPERTY 60KM NORTH OF VOISEY'S BAY DEPOSIT

Benton Resources Corp. and its partner Teck Cominco Ltd. have received a final report from Aeroquest Ltd. on the recently completed airborne survey at the King Lake nickel project in Labrador, located 60 kilometres (km) north of the world-class Voisey's Bay nickel deposit. The King Lake nickel project is host to numerous, high-grade nickel-copper showings that have returned up to 6.8 per cent copper and 1.9 per cent nickel. The airborne geophysical survey located several strong electromagnetic anomalies on the property including a large conductive zone which measures greater than 400 metres wide by 1,000 metres long. This large conductive zone is coincident with a moderate magnetic anomaly, a rusty gossanous outcrop, and many nickel-copper-cobalt lake sediment anomalies similar to those in the vicinity of the Voisey's Bay deposit. The conductive zone is also spatially related to the outer rim of a large intrusion and east-west oriented structures, comparable with the environment noted at the Voisey's Bay deposit.

Benton is excited about the results and believes the conductors could represent possible nickel-rich and copper-rich sulphide zones. Ground follow-up efforts are scheduled to begin in mid- to late June.

Clinton Barr (PGeo), vice-president exploration for Benton Resources is the qualified person responsible for this news release.
