  • Benton has executed agreements containing exclusive rights to purchase 100% interest in

the Thunder Bay North deposits from Panoramic Resources Limited and 100% interest in the Escape Lake deposit from Rio Tinto for a total of $15M CAD

  • TBN Deposit with Historic Resource of 741,000 ounces at 2.3gpt Pt Eq indicated and 49,000

inferred ounces at 2.9gpt Pt Eq. Drill intercepts of 46.65m @ 10.1gpt Platinum+Palladium+Gold and 1.62% Copper+Nickel including 13.0m @ 33.2gpt Pt+Pd+Au and 4.91% Cu+Ni including a spectacular intercept of 2.6m @ 97.9gpt Pt+Pd+Au and 14.9% Cu+Ni in drill hole BL 10-197

  • Never released publicly: Rio Tinto’s high grade Escape Lake discovery in 2010-2012 had

spectacular drill results including up to 121.6m of 2.49gpt Pt+Pd+Au and 0.86% Cu+Ni,

  • incl. 33.4m of 7.28gpt Pt+Pd+Au and 2.26% Cu+Ni
  • Only 65km south on (Hwy 527) of North American Palladium’s (NAP) Lac des Ille Mine and

approximately 12km east of NAP’s Sunday Lake PGE project

  • Project located only 40km north of Thunder Bay with paved highway and power line.

  • Magnetotellurics (MT) geophysical survey planned for deep portion of TBN and Escape
  • Lake. MT was used by North American Palladium (NAP) to successfully target the

Sunday Lake intrusion down to 1000m

  • NAP released “best results to date” on Sunday Lake which graded 41.2m @ 5.3g/t

Pt+Pd+Au and 0.76% Cu+Ni at approximately 1000m deep

  • Many unmined PGM deposits are less then 2gpt Total Precious Metals (TPM) with low by-

products Copper and Nickel; TBN/Escape has excellent grade in both PGM and Cu/Ni

  • TBN and Escape Lake have nearly a 1:1 ratio of Platinum to Palladium with excellent

potential for further discoveries along interpreted mineralized conduit

  • Benton will acquire $58.0 million in tax loss carryforward inside Panoramic PGM Canada

Ltd

  • Northern Ontario is one of the safest and best mining jurisdictions in the world; located

minutes form a Census Metropolitan Area (Thunder Bay) and Canada’s only operating Pd mine

  • The Company will be focused on advancing the new Platinum-Palladium-Copper-Nickel

deposits toward a resource estimate and PEA

Diesel and gasoline engines use both Platinum and Palladium for catalytic converters Automobile sales growing annually Strict emission standards growing world wide Large quantity of Copper and Nickel used in hybrid and electric cars Shortage in Palladium supply causes ETF to sell to cover shortage Long term Platinum likely to replace Palladium if prices continue to rise
