A recently completed geological mapping programme at Bezant Resources’ 100%-owned high-grade Kanye manganese project, in Botswana, indicates that the target horizon hosting high-grade manganese may extend continuously for at least 4 km between the Loltware and Moshaneng prospects.

The mineralised horizon lies at the same stratigraphic level as the Giyani Metals' K-Hill project located just to the southeast from Bezant's licence.

A follow-up programme of soil sampling and trenching is planned to begin in the coming week to test the continuity of the manganese target.

A preliminary plan has been prepared for drill testing in the vicinity of the Moshaneng Borrow Pit, to be finalised based on results of the soil/trenching programme.

“The new mapping and prospecting programme at Kanye has, for the first time, highlighted the potential continuity of the target zone for high-grade manganese over a minimum of 4 km between the Moshaneng and Loltware prospects.

“Along with the discovery of extensions to the mineralised zone in the Moshaneng Borrow Pit, this represents a very promising target for Bezant within the same geological horizon as Giyani Metals K-Hill project,” comments executive chairperson Colin Bird.

He says the company is now moving forward to a new phase of sampling and trenching to confirm continuity of the zone, with follow-up drill planning in preparation.
