Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the conditional acquisition of 100% of Metrock Resources Ltd ("Metrock") and its manganese mineral exploration licences in Southern Botswana comprising the Kanye Manganese Project.

"Bezant has in the last year been focussing on Southern Africa and has made significant additions to its copper gold portfolio in both Zambia and Namibia. This growing presence in Southern Africa gave rise to the opportunity to acquire the Kanye Manganese Project in Botswana in an area where high grade battery manganese has been discovered which is much sought after for tomorrow's energy storage equation. The underlying mineral licences represent exploration rights to a very large area of highly prospective manganese bearing ground.
