Benton Resources ( (TSE:BEX) ) has issued an announcement.
Benton Resources has increased its effective interest in the Great Burnt copper-gold project in central Newfoundland after joint venture partner Homeland Nickel chose to cease participation, leaving Benton as the dominant spender and majority stakeholder. The shift consolidates Benton’s control over a project that already hosts defined copper resources and multiple open-ended mineralized zones, reinforcing its strategic focus on high-grade base and precious metals.
The company plans an aggressive summer exploration campaign across the Great Burnt and Great Burnt South properties, including airborne EM and magnetic surveys, mapping, trenching, soil sampling, and diamond drilling aimed at updating resources at both the South Pond and Great Burnt deposits. Newly reported high-grade gold-in-soil results and associated rock samples on the northern portion of the project, outside current resource extents, highlight significant exploration upside that could enhance the project’s scale and long-term value for stakeholders if further discoveries are confirmed.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BEX) stock is a Hold with a C$0.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Benton Resources stock, see the TSE:BEX Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on BEX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BEX is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held back by weak operating fundamentals (no revenue, persistent operating losses, and negative operating/free cash flow) and only modest technicals (negative MACD and below key short-term averages). A strong low-debt balance sheet provides some support, but valuation is also a headwind given the high P/E and no dividend yield.
