Benton Resources Corporate Events
Benton Resources reported preliminary metallurgical test results from its South Pond gold-copper deposit, showing laboratory gold recoveries of up to 88.4% from a 20 kg composite sample tested by SGS Canada using standard bottle-roll cyanidation over 24 hours. The company views these first-pass recoveries as highly encouraging for the project’s future and a key step in advancing South Pond alongside the nearby Great Burnt deposit, where prior SGS work indicated potential plant performance of a 25% copper concentrate at 96% recovery, supporting Benton’s efforts to grow and de-risk its Newfoundland gold-copper portfolio.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BEX) stock is a Hold with a C$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Benton Resources stock, see the TSE:BEX Stock Forecast page.
Benton Resources has capped a busy 2025 by expanding its Newfoundland portfolio and reporting substantial drilling progress at its flagship Great Burnt and South Pond projects, where it has completed 26,637 metres of drilling since late 2023 and extended the Great Burnt copper deposit’s strike length to about 950 metres while delineating a 2.7 km-wide shallow gold-copper system at South Pond. The company has discovered a new VMS system, multiple new gold occurrences, and high-grade gold float in the area, acquired several strategic projects near Equinox Gold’s Valentine and Frank deposits, and secured additional ground along the Great Burnt trend, while remaining well funded with roughly $2.9 million in cash and $3.0 million in equities to support a large drilling program and geophysical survey planned for 2026, with metallurgical results from South Pond expected shortly.
