Benton Resources (TSXV: BEX) has released further drill data from its recent program at the Great Burnt Copper Project, found in Newfoundland. A total of three holes saw their results released this morning.

The results are part of a drill program that began this fall. Originally slated to amount to 2,000 metres of drilling, the program was expanded to over 5,600 metres following continued success experienced in the phase one program. The next phase of drilling for the property is set to begin in winter 2024, with a 10,000 metre program planned.
The results also follow CEO Stephen Stares sitting down with Small Cap Steve to discuss the Great Burnt project, exploration plans, and whats in store for investors in 2024.
