=======================================================================

Vancouver -- Thursday, March 18, 2010 -- Golden Harp Resources Inc.
(GHR:TSXV) today announced that it has been advised by Benton Resources
Corp. that it has initiated the third phase of diamond drilling on the
Copper Hill Block A property. The program is designed to test beneath
the surface mineralization of the Crocker zone and the low grade bulk
tonnage potential of the MC zone.

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

Benton Initiates Phase 3 Drill Program at Copper Hill Option

Thunder Bay, Ontario: Benton Resources Corp (BTC: TSX.V, "Benton" or
"the Company") is pleased to announce that the third phase of diamond
drilling on the Copper Hill Block A property optioned from Golden Harp
Resources Inc. ("Golden Harp") has been initiated. The drill program
is designed to test beneath the surface mineralization of the Crocker
zone as well as the low grade bulk tonnage potential of the MC zone.
The Crocker zone was discovered by Benton in the fall of 2009 and is
hosted within brecciated felsic (syenite fragmental) and lesser
ultramafic volcanic rocks. The showing is defined by a distinct
B-horizon soil anomaly of >50 ppb Au (with individual soil samples up
to 6,840 ppb Au) and surface grab samples grading up to 9.65 gpt gold.
Work to date suggests mineralization associated with the Crocker zone
is controlled by a NNW trending structure splaying off of the Hydro
Creek fault. At the MC Zone, Benton's Phase 2 drill program completed
during 2009 intersected thick intervals of anomalous gold
mineralization. Drill core intervals included 0.25 gpt gold over
142.9m in drill hole GH09-21 and 0.33 gpt gold over 122m in drill hole
GH09-22.

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.

Benton is a Canadian based junior with multiple joint ventures and a
diversified property portfolio in Gold, Nickel, Copper, and Platinum
group elements. The company currently has approximately $12.5 million
in cash, owns approximately 36% interest in Coro Mining Corp (TSX.COP),
holds an approximate 5% interest in Marathon PGM Corp (TSX.MAR) and
retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty on the northern portion of the
Marathon PGM deposit.

Clinton Barr (P.Geo.), V.P. Exploration for Benton Resources Corp., is
the qualified person responsible for this release.
