Benton Stakes Antimony Project in Close Proximity to Beaver Brook
Deposit in Newfoundland
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2013) - 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. Great Atlantic Resources
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."
