04:56 AM EDT, 09/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Bezant Resources (BZT.L) said Thursday it expedited the review of the phase 2 expansion plan for the Hope & Gorob copper-gold project in Namibia in light of the operation's longer estimated mine life of 35 years. The copper-gold exploration and development company said Thursday the expansion plan will consider the current and projected long-term prices of copper, gold, and silver. It added the company is assessing a higher mass-pull ore-sorting strategy that could increase copper recovery and reduce copper losses, although at a lower pre-concentrate grade. Bezant Resources noted it remains on track to produce its first concentrate within September.
