Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Bezant Resources (BZT.L) Interview.

Minemba Prospect Kalengwa Copper Project, Zambia

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce a further significant copper intercept in its second drill hole at the Minemba prospect within the Kalengwa exploration project area in Zambia (the " Kalengwa Exploration Project ") in which the Company has a 30% interest and acts as operator.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant, commented :

"We are very pleased with the 114m interval of continuous mineralisation. The archives did not suggest this to be the case and we are particularly encouraged by the geological sequence which is the same as in the nearby rich copper pit at Kalengwa which produced 1.9Mt @ 9.44% Cu.

We have identified 350m of mineralised strike to date and, in order to build up a significant copper tonnage, we intend to carry out a ground IP geophysics survey as well as drilling at least two further holes in the vicinity of the two already completed holes. We are pleased with the results to date as we have not yet tested several other targets on the large Kalengwa property, including a 13km zone of enhanced soil geochemistry along an interpreted structure. We plan to carry out initial geophysical surveying on this target while the geophysics crew is on site."
