About our company

Benton operates as a project generator, always looking to acquire promising properties or assets, and then carries on work to advance the project with a view of attracting option investors, joint ventures, or for outright sales.
The experienced management team has not just geological and prospecting expertise but the management and administrative abilities to handle a stable of exploration projects at various stages as this increases the chances of exploration success. The Company’s diverse property portfolio includes Canadian projects which are highly prospective for precious and critical metals.

Benton is currently focused on advancing its resource-stage, high-grade Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, as well as a spin-off of its joint Killick Lithium discovery with Sokoman Minerals.
“This has been the most successful drill campaign in the history of our Company, delivering exceptional grades and thicknesses. Our team is excited about the future of this excellent project and our ability to expand the deposit. Great Burnt is a Company Maker.”
