Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") today announces results from the Phase II drilling program at its Far Lake Copper-Silver project located 80 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The second phase of drilling at Far Lake totaled 2,696 m and was designed to test new areas associated with surface mineralization as well as various chargeability anomalies outlined by a deep, 3D IP geophysical survey. Highlights from this latest campaign include copper mineralization in the previously untested Centre Pond zone, intersected at a drill hole depth of 338 m (DDH FL-21-17).

Benton continues to be encouraged by the Cu mineralization identified in this intrusive complex and will continue to model the data collected for further targeting on the project. The Company is presently collecting up to 3,500 soil samples for multi-element analysis and is actively mapping and prospecting the property to generate further targets for drilling later this year. Geochemical anomalies identified in 2020 soil sampling led to the discovery at FL-20-11.

Additional sampling of DDH FL-20-11 (drilled in the first campaign) increased the width of a previously released mineralized interval by 4 m, expanding the mineralized zone to 0.15% Cu over 64.2 m including 0.35% Cu over 15.6 m and 1.08% Cu and 1.63 g/t Ag over 2.6 m.

Drill hole FL-20-11 is located approximately 1,800 m NW along the same structure as the Far Lake Discovery Zone where surface sampling produced Cu grades up to 22% over 0.7 m and first phase drill results yielded intercepts of 0.19% Cu and 0.34 g/t Ag over 33.6 m including 1.11% Cu and 1.33 g/t Ag over 3.1 m (FL-20-03). The Discovery Zone continues to be interrupted by mafic dykes and the Company continues to model the dykes to better understand the structure controlling mineralization and to avoid hitting them in future drilling within the mineralized zones.

Drill holes FL-21-13 & 14 were drilled in the vicinity of hole FL-20-11 (0.15% Cu over 64.2 m) and were successful at intersecting the granodiorite with advanced argillic alteration that hosts up to 5% chalcopyrite locally. Additionally, the granodiorite includes moderate phyllic (chl-ser), propylitic (qtz-epi-carb) and weak potassic (kspar-alb-qtz) alteration. Highlights from these holes include 0.25% Cu over 3 m and 0.12% Cu over 3 m, in holes 13 and 14 respectively.

FL-21-15 was nearly a 200 m eastern step-out from FL-20-11 and again intersected a chalcopyrite mineralized altered granodiorite containing up to 0.1% Cu over 14 m.

FL-21-16 was the deepest hole of the campaign and targeted a deep IP chargeability anomaly coinciding with mineralized surface samples. Anomalous copper mineralization was encountered throughout the hole, but more importantly intersected a major lithological contact between granitic and metasedimentary rocks at depth, which will be important when mapping the units on the property.

FL-21-17 was drilled 425 m below the Centre Pond zone and intersected mainly red granite with strong potassic, hematite alteration with magnetite. The coarse, red granite contains blebby chalcopyrite and pyrite. Highlights include 0.16% Cu over 6 m.

FL-21-18 targeted an airborne VLF anomaly along strike of the discovery zone. Copper mineralization was insignificant, but the hole intersected a wet structure that could account for the anomaly.

FL-21-19 was drilled below the discovery zone at depths deeper than the first phase of drilling. Sulphide mineralization is primarily seen as blebby or disseminated pyrite in zones of strong deformation as well as chalcopyrite in zones of strong deformation, as blebs in a silica-infilled breccias or as wisps in a quartz vein. Highlights include 0.13% Cu over 23 m.

FL-21-20 was a southern step-out from hole 19 and designed to intersect high-grade copper at depth. Unfortunately, this hole encountered another wide intrusive gabbro at an unexpected depth and angle and the mineralized zone was nearly missed altogether. Mineralized intervals include 0.12% Cu over 1.4 m and 0.11% Cu over 3 m.

In addition to copper mineralization, the campaign intersected weakly anomalous uranium in FL-21-16 (21ppm U over 10 m) and FL-21-19 (23.8ppm over 9 m).

Up-to-date copper results from Far Lake drilling are as follows:

*Previously released results **No significant assays

A map showing the location of each hole is available on the Company's website (www.bentonresources.ca).

The Company would also like to announce that it has made the first anniversary payment pursuant to its option agreement with White Metal Resources Corp. ("White Metal") on the Far Lake property (see Company news release dated May 20, 2020). The Company paid White Metal $30,000 and issued 400,000 common shares of the Company.

Benton continues to be very encouraged by the progress made by Clean Air Metals Inc. ("Clean Air"), in which Benton holds 24.6 million shares. Clean Air has two drill rigs operating on the Thunder Bay North and Escape Lake Copper-Nickel-PGM projects and has released excellent drill results from its ongoing drill campaign. Benton looks forward to receiving ongoing encouraging drill results and future project advancement.

Benton also holds 3,940,000 shares of Quadro Resources Ltd, which is advancing various projects in Newfoundland and Ontario. Additionally, Benton holds 3.6 million shares of Maxtech Ventures Inc. Maxtech has an Option and Joint Venture agreement on Benton's Panama Lake gold project in the Red Lake mining region. Further, Benton holds 1.36 million shares of Metallica Metals advancing Benton's Saganaga (Starr) Gold project, and 1.0 million shares of Sokoman Minerals Corp. which continues to release excellent drill results from its Moosehead Project in Newfoundland. Benton recently entered into a strategic alliance with Sokoman Minerals for three large-scale joint venture properties including Grey River, Golden Hope and Kepenkeck in Newfoundland.

Benton also has two NW Ontario projects optioned to Rio Tinto Exploration Canada (the Bark Lake and West Baril Lake Copper-Nickel PGE projects).

Cypress Development (TSXV:CYP, OTCQB:CYDVF) focuses on developing its 100 percent owned Clayton Valley lithium project in Nevada, USA. The company’s extensive exploration and development have led to discovering a world-class lithium-bearing claystone resource adjacent to the Albemarle (NYSE: ALB) Silver Peak mine, North America’s only lithium brine operation. The company’s discovery of the massive resource made Clayton Valley a premium American source of lithium that has the potential to impact the supply of lithium for the fast-growing energy storage battery market.

“We’re in Nevada and we’re in a country that badly needs lithium. We would be the most environmentally friendly project, and the lowest acid consumer. We’re able to eliminate sulfuric acid in our process and that would make us an extremely environmentally friendly, large, inexpensive low cost producer in the heart of the United States.” said Cypress Development CEO Dr. Bill Willoughby.

Sienna Resources Inc. (TSXV: SIE) (FSE: A1XCQ0) (OTC PINK: SNNAF) (the "Company") Sienna Resources is pleased to announce the commencement of field exploration at the Bleka Gold Project in Norway. The Bleka Vein was discovered in 1880 and mined intermittently until 1940, with historic production reported as 165 kilograms (i.e., ~ 5,300 troy ounces) of gold sourced from mineralized material with an average grade of 36 gt gold1.  The historic Bleka vein is hosted in a deformed greenstone belt in southern Norway and was formed during two phases of quartz-veining events. Auriferous quartz veins characteristically contain Cu-Bi and tourmaline2. Compilation of historic reports combined with reconnaissance mapping revealed a series of under-explored vein swarms on the Bleka property. Earlier this year, a systematic sampling program to test the vein swarms was initiated to identify gold-rich vein sets. Results were encouraging with over 10% of samples showing anomalous gold results (6 of 52 rockchip samples contained more than 0.1 ppm Au)3.  Historic reports show rock chip samples with similar quantities of anomalous results with some vein samples reaching up to 103 gt Au4.  As a result of this field work, previously unknown quartz veins were discovered and follow-up soil sampling is currently being conducted in an attempt to identify additional buried quartz veins.

Going forward Sienna has planned more surface sampling coupled with a planned UVA supported magnetic survey which will delineating important structural features to generate  high priority drill targets. Over the coming weeks the historic mine maps will be compiled to create 3D model of the known mineralization and drill planning will commence to test mineralized continuation down plunge and along strike from the existing mine workings.  SIE has not performed sufficient work to verify the published data reported above, but SIE believes this information is considered reliable and relevant.

Allkem Limited (ASX|TSX: AKE, " Allkem" or the " Company" ) and the International Finance Corporation (" IFC ") have agreed on a non-binding term sheet for a project financing facility (" IFC loan ") for the wholly Allkem owned Sal de Vida Project located in Catamarca Province, Argentina.

Managing Director and CEO, Martin Perez de Solay said, "We are already in a strong financial position to self-fund the Sal de Vida project however we saw an opportunity to further improve the financing structure for Sal de Vida and partner with IFC, an institution with decades of experience providing finance and sustainable business solutions in the mining space."

"Sal de Vida is expected to generate significant economy-wide benefits that will improve the fiscal outlook, economic performance and social outcomes at national, regional and local community levels."

IFC's proposed investment comprises a US$200 million debt package, including up to US$100 million from IFC for a tenor of up to 9 years and the remainder funded by a syndicate of commercial banks.

The IFC loan and its key terms reflect current market conditions for this facility type, loan size, tenor and region.

IFC's proposed financing structure will provide Sal de Vida with a diversified international lender group in a syndicated loan agreement at the asset level and will help de-risk the capital structure of the project.

IFC's Performance Standards are globally recognised as a benchmark for environmental and social risk management in the private sector. IFC has eight Performance Standards: Risk Management, Labour, Resource Efficiency, Community, Land Resettlement, Biodiversity, Indigenous People and Cultural Heritage.

A robust and detailed environmental assessment was conducted by IFC, including the assessment of brine extraction and water usage and the associated monitoring and mitigation plan. Allkem technical teams participated in the process and will work to implement the IFC's Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP).

IFC technical assessment through senior consulting firms validated the project scope, cost and schedule and has provided a detailed risk analysis to ensure proper mitigation plans are established.

BMM has engaged a highly capable team to conduct the first phase of its exploration program at the Gorge Project, who has a demonstrable record in the district, as well as strong relations with the First Nations communities in the area.

The Company has commenced mapping and sampling of the entire project area. This is planned to be followed by trenching and soil analysis. Subject to favourable results, BMM intends on drilling throughout the fall and winter as the appropriate drilling targets are identified.

Managing Director Ross Cotton commented:

“I would like to thank our dedicated team on the ground who have not wasted a moment to get our work project underway. I also again thank our team in both Australia and Serbia who have worked tirelessly to move BMM forward. We are extremely excited about our strategic move into a Tier 1 mining Jurisdiction in Ontario, Canada. The initial results were a great start for the Company, we look to build on these results as we embark on our planned mapping, sampling and trenching programs.”

Asia Pacific has been at the centre of the lithium-ion battery supply chain, with China leading the way in many aspects while Japan and Korea have had a legacy role as well.

But as the world prepares to meet the increasing demand from the green energy transition, the region now has an opportunity to scale up the supply of key battery raw materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite.

Australia is a top lithium producer, while Indonesia currently has a strong position on the nickel and cobalt markets. China dominates most of the refining for these metals and accounts for the majority of natural flake graphite production.

Lithium prices have been on the rise since last year, as strong demand from the electric vehicle sector paired with tight supply has sent prices through the roof.

“We don't see much of a possibility of a balanced market out until at least the mid 2020s, so up until 2026. And even still in that scenario, it's going to be fairly tight,” Cameron Perks of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence told the audience of the Battery Gigafactories Asia Pacific conference in Perth last week.

When looking at how the electric vehicle sector developed historically, China and its subsidy policy played a key role.

“What we're seeing this time around with the Europeans entering, the North Americans entering this market, is something in my personal view the Chinese never had and that's this concept of brand allegiance with their consumers,” Ron Mitchell of Global Lithium (ASX:GL1) said.

Asia remains the major source of demand for lithium, despite the spread of new battery manufacturing capacity into Europe and the US.

World demand for lithium is estimated to increase from 583,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent in 2021 to 724,000 tonnes in 2022, according to the Office of the Chief Economist. Over the following two years, demand is forecast to rise by over 40 percent, reaching 1,058,000 tonnes by 2024.

In order to bring new supply into the market, one of the main challenges that the sector is facing is expertise.

“We are seeing it everywhere — people are the biggest challenge for our business, securing the right people,” Jerko Zuvela of Argosy Minerals (ASX:AGY) said. “You need collaboration, you need partnerships, you need strategic enhancements to work together.”

Another big factor is finding the right resource.

“The main thing today that you can identify is people and followed by that is trying to find the next available economic deposit to be developed, and it is becoming tricky,” JP Vargas de la Vega of Galan Lithium (ASX:GLN) said. “Even if you use direct lithium extraction or other technologies, there are things that need to be taken into account. Is there power? Is there water available?”

Original equipment manufacturers are looking for consistency and product quality, and many are looking to lithium supply chains outside China, Mitchell pointed out. Australia could grab 20 percent of the world’s lithium refining in the next five years.

“This industry is still very much in its infancy. So it's not easy doing what these downstream plants are doing here in Western Australia,” Mitchell said. "They're the first movers."

For nickel and cobalt, the Asia Pacific region as a whole is going to be a driving force in the coming years.

“You can see the vast potential just from Indonesia, for nickel and cobalt supply,” Harry Fisher of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence said. “There are, of course, other parts of the APAC region that are important to a lesser extent, but it's definitely worth noting projects in Papua New Guinea, in the Philippines and Japan.”

The story for manganese is a bit different. Even though it is a very large existing market, batteries still remain a very small proportion of that market. But about 90 percent of the current manganese supply comes from China alone.

“It is still fairly early days, but you can see in our demand forecast how higher manganese intensity chemistries could infiltrate pharma going forward,” Fisher said. “And I think if there's further technology development, then there's definitely more upside for manganese.”

Discussions around lithium ion batteries would not be complete without looking at the anode space, and its key raw material input ― graphite.

According to data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, the average 30 gigawatt hour giga factory will require around 80,000 tonnes of flake graphite, or 45,000 tonnes of synthetic graphite.

About 70 percent of flake graphite mining is happening in China, and practically 100 percent of all of the processing as well. The country accounts for around 80 percent of the anode production.

As of 2022, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence expects the demand from the lithium-ion battery sector alone will overtake all of the other demand sectors for flake graphite. By the end of the decade, it sees demand from the battery side of things matching, if not out-competing demand from all of the other sectors for synthetic graphite.

“Regardless of the split that we're expected to see between natural and synthetic supply, the market is entering a period of unprecedented demand growth,” senior analyst Daisy Jennings-Gray said.

To meet the increasing demand growth, supply expansions are critical, and investment is going to be massively needed in the sector.

“We're looking at another 97 graphite mines being built out to 2035 to meet the current pipeline demand. So really, really big moves need to be taken on the anode side of the industry to contribute to the growth story,” Jennings-Gray said.
