The company also provided an update on its trenching program, re-emphasizing previously announced high-grade gold and polymetallic VMS channel sample results, while new assay results from recent work are still awaited.

Reasoning: Benton Resources has acquired strategic land contiguous to its Dominion project, expanding its exploration potential. The release also re-highlights strong historical gold and base metal trenching results, reinforcing the project's prospectivity, although these results are not new and new assays are still pending.
