Benton Closes $1.56 Million Non-Brokered Premium Flow-Through Financing with Investment by Eric Sprott

15.12.2023  |  Newsfile

Thunder Bay, December 15, 2023 - Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (see news release dated November 27, 2023) pursuant to an arrangement with Wealth Creation Preservation & Donation Inc. ("WCPD") and investor Eric Sprott. The Company issued 6,250,000 Charity Flow-through Units ("FT Unit") for $0.25 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,562,500 (the "Private Placement"). Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), each Warrant being exercisable for an additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 for 36 months from the date of issue. The FT Units will entitle the holder to receive the tax benefits applicable to flow-through shares, in accordance with provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Mr. Sprott, a long-time investor and largest shareholder of the Company, acquired the 6,250,000 units pursuant to the Private Placement as the back-end buyer for total consideration of $1,000,000 through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by him.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has paid cash finders' fees totaling $12,000 and issued 150,000 finders' warrants, exercisable at $0.25 for 36 months from the date of issuance.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and a day hold period.

The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2023. The proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to advance Benton's various exploration projects.
