In this episode of The Sunday Roast, Phil Carroll, Kevin Hornsby, and Charles Archer kick things off with a lively breakdown of the week’s big market movers — from political turbulence in the US and UK to the BBC’s latest controversy and fresh headlines surrounding the Epstein files. The lads then sit down with Ben Clube, CEO of Energy Pathways, for a deep dive into the company’s nationally significant MESH hydrogen and graphite project, its partnership with KBR, and why long-duration energy storage is becoming critical for the UK grid. Finally, they wrap up with a tour through the 12-stock portfolio, covering everything from exploration plays to AI-powered energy names, and what the latest shifts could mean for investors heading into winter.

In this episode of The Midweek Takeaway, Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby speak with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant Resources (AIM: BZT), about the feasibility study for the Hope & Gorob copper-gold project in Namibia. Colin outlines the plan to use multi-sensor dry ore sorting and truck pre-concentrate to an existing processing plant ~190 km away, delivering capital efficiency and faster ramp-up. The study highlights robust economics (NPV ~$46.2m, IRR ~62%) and confirms the plant can be optimized for productivity and concentrate quality rather than costly conversion. He also discusses expected 8–10 years of open-pit mining, moves to secure long-lead items, and the strategy to fast-track production amid supportive metal prices.

Ben explains the project’s Section 35 fast-track approval, the use of methane pyrolysis for low-cost hydrogen, and the integration of low-carbon ammonia and graphite production to support the UK’s industrial strategy. He also outlines key partnerships with Siemens Energy, Costain, KBR, and Hazer, current funding milestones, and how the scalable MESH model could shape the UK’s path to Clean Power 2030.
