1.Mine projected to deliver 10k copper ..$80m usd annual turnover.

2.6gm of gold and 3oz of silver per ton

3, Chalcocyte strong presence which is 90% copper and very cost effective to excavate and transport

4.Plan will be a series of mini pits two at a time

5, Contracting two 30 ton dump trucks, sorting rig and excavator

6.Targetting high grade areas for early years to maximise cash flow

7,Ore sorting plant hopefully in position for August /september

8. Power supply solar plants also contracted with no upfront capex

9, Transport sorted.

CB has said all along that they were anticipating the licenses and made plans to be ready for the off as soon as they were confirmed.

I would recommend folk to listen to this podcast which explains the current position . thanks IKY . All very good news and those who were concerned about the likelihood of this project gettting off the ground should be reassured.

This turkey is about to fly as Pricey has memorably stated.

Prospector . There has been a steady trickle of demand here for the last few days. This may increase next week when the 2025/26 ISA's become available. My view of the bombed out Bird stable is that it is now a good time for some bottom fishing as copper is fetching a decent price and the prospects for some like BZT are particularly promising. Given the license and plans for H &G.

Of course the ludicrous oaf in the White house may blow up the world economy and collapse the demand for copper . We can only pray that come the mid term elections Congress will wrest back control over the wrecking ball malignant.

I am not really prepared to discuss this with you any more.

I am sure you know what Monetize means. You are quite entitled to disagree with me but I think I have made my position quite clear. Have a good weekend

I totally understand the grief of LTH's having lost a packet of money on BZT. I am one myself. My chief consolation is that we are finally poised to recover some of these losses and it is churlish to constantly bemoan all the spilt milk. The plan for this year was to to monetize Mankayan and set up production at Hope Gorob.. Well we are well on the way to monetize Mankayan . (currently worth 6 million quid and due in two months). The second objective is subject to the environmental license. which is due any day. As most of the posters here are BZT holders it is self defeating to constantly berate the chairman and complain about lack of progress . It may make you feel better but it discourages new investors and that is a daft strategy

Yes Pricey I shall be there again. look forward to seeing you, And hopefully with some other shareholder/posters . For those who hold shares in separate Bird companies it is useful to note that he usually schedules three or four on the same day and you get a chance to grill CB and his team on any company you hold shares in.

By then the merger will have gone through and lets pray the license has dropped.

I suggest you pitch up at the AGM and see for yourself how the chairman deals with the Q & A sessions. His right hand man is now Martin Churchouse a sprightly 60 yr old I think.

Meantime I hope you are right that we reach .05 in May when the BSX /IDM merger is finally approved. I would be happy with this in the short term.

I would rather not wait until the SP has grown sustainably ,Mr T.

Unlike you I believe CB is completely serious about Hope Gorob. In fact I have been messaging him today about the employment prospects for Namibians . This is an important element in the License consideration. He estimates 200 jobs will be created. Not rocket science you may say but a good reason for Namibia Minister to get a move on.

I think it is unfair to label CB as you do as too old etc. He is not going to be wielding shovels but his knowledge of mining in Southern Africa is second to none. He may be a bit enthusiastic and sometimes overeggs the pudding but he will come good with H & G. At the GLR meeting earlier last year i had a chance to talk to some mining folk about Luansobe and Hope Gorob. The consensus was H,& G was a much better prospect than Luansobe. So i am more invested in BZT now than GLR but like IKY I think GLR will also prosper eventually. My current focus is mainly on BZT so I shall ignore Mr T's advice.

Claiming there will never be a mine at Hope Gorob and that CB is a crook is hardly going to encourage new investors. I take a much more positive view . The recent surge in copper prices and the big increase in BSX makes investing in BZT quite compelling. ( I do not see it as of no consequence!) If you continue to complain it might depress the price here and allow me to buy in when my next ISA is available but I do not suppose this is your plan.

The new cabinet has been sworn in . They claim to be keen on creating employment. Hope Gorob will be good for the local economy . The copper price is flying . They have sat on our application for long enough....

Directors may not buy or sell shares when they possess material non public information. I think we can infer from CB's purchase that he is confident the ECC license will be granted but does not have any information as to when.

I assume it wont be long and meantime the copper price is climbing.

Everycloud.

He never tells me anything sensitive and cannot get timelines out of him. last serious conversation was about how pleased he was with the ore sorting results. Otherwise it is the occasional message saying "all fine "or "everything on track". I get the impression we are heading fora rerate soon. But RMC and others will say this is wishful thinking. But once this environmental license is confirmed we shall see activity here too.

Interesting to see how XTR have doubled in a week. Shows how quickly sentiment can change in these micro cap stocks

Thank you RMc . Amusing RNS material.. and i speak as a fully paid up straw catcher.

The near record high prices for cu and au are not reflected in poor old BZT Sp . Seems that they are in Blackstone Minerals .

I have bought a few more as I am still confident BZT will catch up when we start trucking concentrate ,if not before.

I suggest you email the company with any specific queries about this testing process. .

i have looked up the scale of laboratory sorting tests and they suggest 500kg-2 tonnes of ore.

This 12th Feb RNS gave us details of the ore optimisation test results. Confirmed a feed grade of up to 2.95% Cu and substantial gold and silver credits applicable. This coupled with the high chalcocite makes this open pit project a highly viable business .

I think you should read later RNS's which go into detail about this resource.

unless the buffoon in the whitehouse blows up world trade, we shall have our mine at hope gorob. not sure when but i am quietly accumulating at these levels and hope to make a serious profit. constantly ****ging off the chairman may make you feel better but we all know it is only the environmental license which is holding us up.

The Blackstone CEO has done a great job publicising Mankayan recently as they are hoping to partner with a major to develop this project. He is as keen to emphasize the 10 million gold ozs as the copper and I think this is helping to boost the SP interest.
