BEX Benton Resources Inc

A Correction from Source is issued with respect to the release issued earlier
today at 10:26 AM ET. In the first paragraph, "Great Atlantic Resources Corp"
has been changed to "Hunan Nonferrous Corp.", and the corrected release follows.


Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased
to announce that it has acquired by staking a 100% interest in 28 claim units
located 2.5km NE of the Beaver Brook Antimony mine and 64 claim units 9km to the
SW of the Mine. These new claims cover the favorable stratigraphy that hosts the
Beaver Brook antimony deposit in central Newfoundland. Hunan Nonferrous Corp.
shut down Beaver Brook, the only antimony mine in North America, in December of
2012 citing lack of ore. Recent literature in the public domain suggests that
current global reserves of antimony will be depleted during the next decade.
Applications for antimony include fire retardants, acid car batteries,
anti-friction bearings and other metallic alloys, glass and pharmaceuticals. The
flame retardant and lead-acid battery sectors accounted for 80% of all use of
the metal in 2010. Currently, China dominates the world market in antimony
similar to the rare earth metals sector. Benton is planning to complete a modest
soil geochemical survey and prospecting program which will be completed by
Benton team member Calvin Keats, one of the prospectors responsible for the
discovery of the Beaver Brook antimony deposit. 


Stephen Stares, President and CEO commented, "While Benton remains focused on
advancing our Cape Ray project towards production, we are continually looking
for cost effective opportunities to acquire strategically favourable claims in
close proximity to former producing assets in mine-friendly jurisdictions. We
feel this project encompasses those attributes and will actively seek a partner
to assess the project's potential."
