Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce a significant copper intercept in its first 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.

· Bezant's first hole on the Minemba prospect, MB-01, stepped back to drill at an angle beneath the earlier intercepts, encountered visible chalcopyrite copper mineralisation over a substantially greater interval than the historic holes starting at 81m depth, with semi-continuous mineralisation logged over a 94-metre interval from 101m to 195m.

"The Minemba prospect is one of the identified intrusive-related targets which were ready for drill testing. Historic work identified some evidence of mineralisation but our targeted hole intersected lengthy apparently significant mineralisation. The mineralisation host type is somewhat similar to the Kalengwa main mine and as such gives us encouragement as to potential. The main mine yielded 2 million tonnes of ore at an average of 9.44% Cu representing one of the richest copper deposits discovered in Zambia.

We will drill another hole in the perceived direction of strike and if successful will continue with ground geophysics to truly identify the strike and extent of this intrusion and associated mineral system."
