Attention Business Editors:

Benton, Royal Roads, and Golden Dory form nickel joint venture

    THUNDER BAY, ON, Nov. 24 /CNW/ - Benton Resources Corp. (BTC-TSX-V)
("Benton") Royal Roads Corp. (RRO-TSX-V) ("Royal Roads"), and Golden Dory
Resources Limited ("Golden Dory") (a wholly owned subsidiary of 540 Capital
Corp, (FA-TSX-V) ("540")) are pleased to announce that they have entered into
a joint venture agreement on a 222 km(2) property in central Newfoundland, to
explore a newly recognized environment prospective for magmatic nickel
sulphide deposits. Recent sampling of disseminated mineralization in float and
bedrock by prospectors has yielded anomalous nickel and copper values of up to
0.28% Ni and 0.36% Cu that indicate if massive sulphide accumulations were
discovered, they could host nickel and copper grades comparable to other
magmatic nickel sulphide deposits in North America including Vale Inco's
Voisey's Bay mine in Labrador and Kennecott's (subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc)
Eagle deposit currently being developed in northern Michigan.
    The joint venture property (the "Property") comprises mineral claims
formerly controlled by the individual joint venture participants, including
Royal Roads' 74 km(2) Long Range property and Benton's and Golden Dory's 148
km(2) Portage Lake property. The Property covers a Silurian age, 5 x 20 km
gabbroic intrusive complex hosting olivine bearing to ultramafic phases. The
gabbro also hosts showings of magmatic nickel sulphides recently discovered by
prospecting that are comprised of pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite
displaying textures characteristic of magmatic nickel sulphide deposits. In
collaboration with Benton and Golden Dory, Royal Roads coordinated a 1,300
line km VTEM airborne geophysical survey over the entire property in July
2008. Results are expected shortly.
    The Property is located close to infrastructure including a 15 MW
hydroelectric facility located 25 km northeast of the property. Power lines
connecting the facility to the provincial grid cross the joint venture
property. A paved highway maintained by the provincial government traverses
the property and provides access to port facilities in the community of St.
Georges, located 50 km to the west. Teck currently ships concentrates from its
Duck Pond copper-zinc mine from port facilities in St. Georges. The area is
considered receptive to mining, as it is located less than 65 km southwest of
Buchans, one of the province's longest established mining centers.
    Royal Roads is the project operator and holds 40% interest in the joint
venture while Benton and Golden Dory own 40% and 20% respectively. The mineral
claims are subject to net smelter royalties of up to 2%, of which 1% can be
purchased for $1 million. Those portions of the property contributed to the
joint venture by Benton and Golden Dory are subject to underlying option
agreements requiring cash payments and share issuances for the joint venture
to earn a 100% interest.
    As operator, Royal Roads has considerable in-house expertise with respect
to exploration for magmatic nickel sulphide deposits in eastern Canada; and
together with Benton and Golden Dory, look forward to further exploration on
the property.

    Management's Opinion
    ---------------------
    Stephen Stares, President and CEO of Benton stated, "The Joint Venture
with Royal Roads and Golden Dory is testament to Benton's commitment in
conserving its treasury while maintaining its search for the next viable
nickel discovery in Canada. The Long Range project provides an excellent
opportunity for such a discovery with newly discovered nickel occurrences in
this recently identified gabbroic intrusive complex. We look forward to
working with these excellent explorers while sharing the risk of exploration
expenditures".
    Will Felderhof, President and CEO of Royal Roads stated, "We are very
pleased to be working with Benton and Golden Dory and are excited to be
exploring this newly discovered nickel prospect. With a treasury of $5
million, and almost total control of the Buchans mining camp, historically one
of Canada's richest base metal camps, we believe Royal Roads has the potential
to deliver exceptional shareholder value. Discovery of a high value magmatic
nickel sulphide deposit in mining friendly Newfoundland fits with our
corporate objective of leveraging ourselves to exceptional exploration
opportunities."
    Kevin Keats, President of Golden Dory stated, "Both Royal Roads and
Benton Resources are quality companies with considerable nickel experience. We
are excited about our new partnership and look forward to jointly advancing
the Long Range project."
