Hope & Gorob Copper-Gold Project Permitting Update
28 August 2024
Bezant Resources PLC
("Bezant" or the "Company")
Permitting Update for Licence 7170, Hope & Gorob Copper - Gold Project, Namibia
Bezant Resources Plc ("Bezant" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm the issue of an Environmental Clearance Certificate ("ECC") for Licence EPL7170 valid until 12 August 2027. The licence was previously renewed for a further period of two years from the previous expiry to 22nd October 2025 subject to the granting of the ECC. With the granting of the certificate the way is clear for the Company to continue with exploration on this important extension to the pending Hope & Gorob Mining Licence and EPL 5796 exploration licence for which renewal is also in process.
Licence EPL7170 offers approximately 30km of prospective Matchless Belt geology that has to date delivered 15Mt of JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resources within the pending Hope & Gorob Mining Licence.
The Company will provide information on future exploration results on EPL7170 as work progresses to increase the Hope & Gorob global copper - gold resource.
Commenting on progress, Colin Bird Chairman said:
"We are pleased to be awarded renewal of this exploration licence situated just NE of the main Hope and Gorob licence, with comparable geology within the Matchless Copperbelt. We have previously undertaken airborne geophysics over the licence and identified potentially significant anomalies for follow-up.
The licence forms part of an almost contiguous belt of prospective ground with Hope and Gorob and could host either extensions to that mineralisation or a separate resource to support a larger mining operation in the future".
