Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased
to announce that it has amended its original agreement dated December 19, 2012
with Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc. ("Cornerstone") which will allow Benton
to purchase a 100% interest in the Cape Ray Gold project located on the south
west coast of Newfoundland. Benton can purchase the project by making a one-time
payment of $200,000 cash and by issuing 350,000 common shares of Benton.
Cornerstone will also retain a 0.25% NSR which will result in there being a
total of 2% NSR on the project of which Benton has the right to purchase back 1%
for $1 million dollars. The amendment is subject to regulatory approval.


Benton is pleased to have completed this transaction with Cornerstone as it
allows Benton to explore the project without timelines and strenuous commitments
in the current volatile markets. The amended agreement also allows Cornerstone
to participate in any upside in the project with its NSR and equity position in
Benton. 


Highlights for the Cape Ray project are as follows: 



--  51 Zone -- Inferred resources of 530,000 tonnes grading 6.10 g/t Au and
    15.86 g/t Ag containing 103,943 ounces of gold and 270,253 ounces of
