Benton Resources Inc. announced while the Baril and Bark Lake projects are early stage in nature, the Company believes they have the potential to contain a magmatic conduit system that could host Copper-Nickel and Platinum Group metals. At Bark Lake, numerous mineralized boulders are host to a number of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) showings. The mineralized occurrences are situated along or proximal to the Quetico Fault. Grab samples have returned grades up to 4.35gpt Pd, 2.64gpt Pt, 0.74gpt Au, 1.2% Cu, 0.5% Ni by Hackl Prospecting. Samples collected by Benton personnel have confirmed significant precious and base metals returning individual assays grading up to 1.5% Nickel, 1.2% Copper, 2.6gpt Pt, 1.4gpt Pd and 0.7gpt Au. Drilling completed by RTEC in 2018 on the Bark Lake project encountered mineralization of 0.31% Cu and 0.72gpt Pt + Pd over 19.2m.
