BEX Benton Resources Inc

Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") would like
to update its shareholders on the current status of the Cape Ray Project. Due to
severe weather conditions encountered in the Port aux Basques region this past
winter the Company temporarily delayed its winter drill campaign until
conditions improve. It is anticipated that the diamond drill program will now be
initiated before the end of May. The drill program will consist of approximately
2000 metres of drilling designed to test not only the immediate western
extension of the 51 Deposit but also the exploration potential of this
mineralized horizon with coincident induced polarization geophysical and gold in
geochemical (rock and soil) anomalies further to the west. The drilling will
also test the east and west strike extent of the PW zone and a few holes within
the 51 Deposit may be duplicated in the attempt to achieve better recoveries of
the mineralized zone.


Furthermore the Company is continuing metallurgical test work from the 150
kilogram mini bulk sample collected from the 51 Deposit that will include
floatation and leach tests on gravity tailings left over after concentration of
metals by the falcon concentrator. 


The Company also announces that it has terminated the option to acquire the
Elizabeth Anne project located in California. Benton continues to believe in the
potential of the Elizabeth Anne project to host economic mineralization and
although the option agreement allowed for the Company to earn a 100% interest,
there were still annual cash payments to the vendor and to the government as
well as other holding costs that made moving forward with the project
prohibitive given the current market conditions and the Company's objective to
conserve capital. The Company believes that the best way to increase shareholder
value in the current market is to focus its' efforts on the more advanced,
100%-owned Cape Ray property by moving the project towards possible production
and cash flow.
