BEX Benton Resources Inc

Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased
to announce that it has regained a 100% interest in the Onion Lake
copper-nickel-PGE project located 30km north of Thunder Bay Ontario. The project
was under option to Glory Resources Limited ("Glory"), an Australian-based
junior currently being acquired by Eldorado Gold Corp. ("Eldorado"). Due to
assessment deficiencies, Benton will receive an $80,000 payment in lieu and the
return of a 100% interest in the project from Eldorado.


Benton considers the Onion Lake project to be highly prospective for the
discovery of Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), Copper (Cu), and Nickel (Ni)
mineralization. The property abuts the potential western strike extent of
Panoramic Resources Ltd's Thunder Bay North deposit which has an Indicated
mineral resource of 9.83 million tonnes grading 2.34g/t Pt-Eq for 741,000 Pt-Eq
ounces and a further Inferred mineral resource of 0.53 million tonnes at 2.87g/t
Pt-Eq for 49,000 Pt-Eq ounces (2011 JORC compliant mineral resource estimate,
see www.panoramicresources.com). In addition, the Onion Lake property also
borders the recently announced discovery of 20.2m grading 3.22gpt Pt+Pd+Au,
0.25% Cu and 0.11% Ni made by partners Transition Metals Corp. and Impala
Platinum Holdings Limited on their Sunday Lake project.


In the last four years, Glory has expended more than $1.2 million in exploration
on the Onion Lake project and identified multiple highly prospective targets
that Benton plans to follow up this year.
