• Benton Resources disclosed early-stage soil-gas results showing new hydrogen-helium anomalies at its Smoking Gun, Parson’s Pond projects in Newfoundland.
• Smoking Gun sampling outlined two broad anomalies with hydrogen up to 600 ppm, helium up to 7.7 ppm in the Deer Lake Basin.
• Parson’s Pond work identified two hydrogen anomalies with readings up to 900 ppm, signaling stronger hydrogen levels than Smoking Gun.
• Clusters near historic wells with reported high-pressure gas support a working model for subsurface migration, guiding follow-up targeting.
• Exploration focus shifts to expanding sampling across unsurveyed ground to test continuity of anomalies before advancing to next-stage work.
