GOLDEN HARP REPORTS ANNOUNCES DRILL RESULTS FROM PHASE 3 DRILL PROGRAM

Vancouver -- Wednesday, May 12, 2010 -- Golden Harp Resources Inc.
(GHR:TSXV) today announced that it has been advised by Benton Resources
Corp. that it has announced the results from the third phase drill
program at Copper Hill.

Benton Resources Corp. issued a press release today - the verbatim text
is included below:

Benton Announces Drill Results from Golden Harp Option
Thunder Bay, Ontario: Benton Resources Corp ("Benton" or "the Company")
is pleased to announce the results from the third phase drill program
on the Golden Harp Option. The 12 hole, 2,852 meter drill program
consisted of a series of stratigraphic fences designed to test a wide
area of low grade gold mineralization and alteration associated with
the MC and Crocker zones. This altered and mineralized stratigraphy is
over 300 meters in width and is bounded by two north-northwest faults
splaying off of the Hydro Creek fault. Previous drilling by Golden Harp
Resources (GH drill holes) and by Benton (GH09 drill holes) have
intersected significant intervals of gold mineralization including 0.90
gpt Au over 43.8 meters (GH-25), 0.62 gpt Au over 28.3 meters (GH-23),
4.5 gpt Au over 7.0 meters and 0.68 gpt Au over 20.5 meters (GH-19) and
0.43 gpt Au over 56 meters (GH09-22). The company continues to be
encouraged by this large gold bearing system which is open in all
directions. The drilling program was cut short due to the spring
breakup. Future drilling anticipated further on this year will also
focus on the Cook Zone. Last year Benton completed two drill programs
that returned 5.03 gpt over 8.5m in GH09-01, 11.9 gpt Au over 5.5m in
GH09-02 and 21.41 gpt Au over 3.0m in GH09-06.

The Golden Harp Block A property is located approximately 100 km south
of Timmins and 87 km southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Benton is
currently in the midst of earning up to a 70% interest in the property
from Golden Harp Resources Inc. Numerous other zones also discovered by
last falls prospecting program will also be subject to further ground
follow up this summer prior to drill target selection. Results from the
currently completed MC Zone drill program are as follows:
