By: Newsfile

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2021) - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ('Benton') is pleased to report that it has received the first anniversary option payment comprised of $50,000 and 1,248,177 shares of Metallica Metals Corp. (CSE: MM) ("Metallica") for the Starr gold-silver project (formerly known within Benton as the Saganaga gold project) located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario.

Benton now holds 2,628,177 million shares of Metallica. Metallica has the option to earn a 70% interest in the Starr project by making certain cash and share payments to Benton along with exploration work commitments and has an option to earn the remaining 30% interest by completing further cash and share payments along with further work commitments (see Benton news release dated August 11, 2020) over the term of the agreement.

Last week Metallica announced that they had identified numerous new drill targets on the Starr project, and a drill program will commence shortly (see Metallica news release dated July 28, 2021).
