(TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") has received updated clarification from its joint venture partner Nordmin Engineering Ltd. ("Nordmin") regarding the preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") announced March 31, 2017. Nordmin reports that during the independent review process, an error in the interpretation of the 2017 potential underground material of the 51 Zone at the Cape Ray gold project was discovered. To clarify, there were not any errors in any portion of the mineral resource previously provided within the press release. The error occurred only in determining the "potential underground material" for the 51 Underground deposit by Nordmin Engineering. All updated PEA information from the March 31, 2017 press release remains unchanged. The Cape Ray gold project is located approximately 20 kilometers northeast of Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. </p>]]></content>

(TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that exploration work at the Bedivere gold project is progressing well as the company prepares for diamond drilling anticipated to start early this field season. Work to date includes baseline establishment, soil sampling, trail creation and limited mechanical trenching has been completed. The trenching has been limited to the Traxxin gold zone and another gold showing located a further 800m southwest along the strike of the mineralized structure. Surface grab samples from the Traxxin zone graded from trace up to 1281gpt gold (41 ounces), some of which contain impressive visible gold (see Company website for photos). Washing and channel sampling of the mineralized system exposed by the trenching will be initiated as weather permits. The exposed Traxxin zone is a mineralized pyrite-rich zone of quartz veining and stockwork with intense chlorite and iron carbonate alteration. Where exposed, the mineralized zone ranges from 15m to 40m wide and is at minimum 250m long before being lost under cover to the southwest in swampy conditions and into the lake to the northeast. </p>]]></content>

(TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") has received updated numbers from its joint venture partner Nordmin Engineering Ltd. ("Nordmin") regarding the preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") announced February 9, 2017. Nordmin reports that during the independent review process, an error in the interpretation of the 2017 resource block model for the underground portion of the 51 Zone at the Cape Ray Gold Project was discovered. Due to the error, the ounces of gold for the underground portion of the 51 Deposit were overstated and as a result, the 51 Underground Zone is marginally economic and has been removed from the PEA. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) for the updated PEA have subsequently been reduced until economic parameters change. The IRR and NPV@7% remain higher than the 2016 PEA and the updated PEA continues to demonstrate the economic potential of the Cape Ray Project. A substantial review of the entire updated PEA was initiated and the new results form the basis of this press release. The Cape Ray Gold Project, is located approximately 20 kilometers northeast of Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. </p>]]></content>

(TSX VENTURE:BEX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the prospecting and mechanical trenching program at its 100%-owned Iron Duke gold project has returned encouraging initial results. Grades of selective grab samples ranged from trace to 64.1grams per tonne (gpt) gold (Au) and composite channel samples returned 8.17gpt Au over 1.8 metres (m) and 6.68gpt over 2m. Five trenches were completed over a strike length of 260m and all uncovered anomalous gold values, providing evidence that the system is open in both directions. The gold values are associated with silicified altered volcanics and meta-sediments with abundant pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization. Due to the onset of winter, the Company couldn't complete washing and detailed mapping which will be completed in the spring when weather permits.</p>]]></content>

(TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to enter into an option agreement (the "Option") with Traxxin Resources ("Traxxin"), a privately owned company, to acquire a 100% interest in their Bedivere Property located 130km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario and 18km north of Highway 11/17 accessible by new logging roads in the area. Recent prospecting by Traxxin resulted in a new high grade gold discovery where surface grab samples have returned assays ranging from trace up to 1281gpt gold (41 ounces), some of which contain impressive visible gold (see Company website for photos). These samples were taken from the Traxxin occurrence in a small pit that was dug on the west side of a large quartz vein system that ranges from 4m to at least 20m wide before being lost under shallow overburden. The Traxxin occurrence has been traced on surface for 250m. Benton completed limited due diligence surface sampling along the 250m long partially exposed quartz system and confirmed the presence of highly anomalous gold from trace to 2.5gpt gold. In addition the Company had previously identified gold in surface sampling 1.5km to the southwest along the same structure which graded from trace up to 3.4gpt gold indicating that the system could potentially have a substantial strike length. The new gold zone sits in the Marmion batholith and lies on a major northeast structural splay similar to that of the multi-million ounce Hammond Reef deposit (NI 43-101 Global M&amp;I Resource: 196.4 Mt @ 0.86gpt Au, NI 43-101 Global Inferred Resource: 75.7 Mt @ 0.72gpt Au; currently owned by Yamana Gold and Agnico Eagle), lying parallel to the west in of the Traxxin discovery, also lying in the Marmion batholith. Recent government sampling from the Traxxin Zone also confirmed high grades up to 115gpt gold (3.7 ounces) and previous lake sediment sampling performed by the Ontario Geological Survey (Dyer, R.D. 1999. Lake Sediment and Water Geochemical Data from the Atikokan-Lumby Lake Area; Northwestern Ontario. Ontario Geological Survey, Miscellaneous Release - Data 43) exhibits some of the highest grades of gold in the survey sitting along the same structure which also hosts the Sandy Lake occurrence where grades of up to 1.57gpt gold in selective grab samples have been obtained. The structure is completely untested with diamond drilling and has seen little historical exploration despite the 4km of intermittent gold mineralization.</p>]]></content>

Benton acquired the ground through a recent staking rush and was fortunate enough secure a favourable land position prior to other competing parties who were pursuing the same claim package. On September 20, 2016 (see Altius PR), Altius announced the discovery of wide-spread and high-grade gold occurrences on their Wilding Lake Project, containing the Alder Zone, located northeast of Marathon's Valentine Lake deposits.
