Despite posting the wrong audio the notes are current. I like his focus on the "objective to delineate the necessary 2 million tonnnes of contained cu which is the AA trigger for the buy back option". Also seems like CB is keen to reserve the best geos and drilling company given high demand for their services in Oz at the moment. CU prices are back close to their ten year high at $427.00 lb which is also encouraging.

CB has only been quiet today Jezzoo . Yesterday he was talking of huge bear shaped and possible multi porphyry system at BR. He is no longer updating daily, granted ,but he is generous with his time on Zak Mir .

The Iceberg mentioned Newmont and shorn and I and everybody on this Board would love to know more pls. It is of course the job of majors to sniff around companies like ours. They recently acquired Gt gold in Canada for 400m approx. Not that dissimilar to XTR CB has mentioned Newmont in the past as a contender.

Good to see the copper price comfortably above $4.00 again

Very interesting , thanks Rodders. Also thought it could have been describing XTR, just switch Arizona for NSW. He claims only 15 CEOs are in a position to make the investments needed to develop large system porphyrys Also that 75% of all projects need at least $3.50 cu price to succeed and most need higher but sees higher prices as inevitable. He was talking (eloquently) his own book but very informative. Very much in the CB mold when describing there are only three options available to majors needing copper resources. 1. High up and expensive Andes 2. AK47 country ****stan Afghanistan Russia and 3. Safe places like US and Australia .

Just to remind everybody that we are awaiting news of the first drill at Kalengwa (started March 1st) and also Metrock about the same time . Hope is to be overflown, Mankayan as soon as MMIH get their **** together and Eureka is as always pending decent offer.

When CB took over Bezant in March 2018 the SP was .42 now ..22.
XTR in Aug 2016 he was appointed exec chairman the Sp was .97 now 6.00P
Galileo Resources ... he took over in Oct 2014 . Share price in April 2016 was 1.23 now 1.41p ( could not find SP when he took over)
Pops is making up his facts Please stop making up this rubbish Pops .. you should know better in your profession

In the RNS Last week CB says Hole 6 was angled to drill obliquely through the mineral zone ..aiming to provide an intercept across the deposit at greater depth down plunge". I todays podcast he points out that they had expected to hit the outer margin at 350m . So good news that it is potentially larger as they hit it at 280m

A quick check on CB’s company SP s over the last 6 months... Galileo up 60% 1.25. XTR up 400% 7.p Tiger resources .80 up125%. Jubilee metals up 250% 17p . Bezant is the laggard up 20% at .19. I appreciate there are damn lies nd statistics but Six months is a reasonable time frame and should give new investors a clue of what they may expect if any of the BZT projects come good. It has 5! CB has said that BZT’s time will come hopefully soon . Then the negative posters will either disappear or change sides.

Thanks for doing this calculation iwantthatone .. I think that works out at around 3% of the value in the ground if you multiply 1.4mt x $8000 POC x.03% = 336Musd. Is this correct?

GT Gold has just been acquired for $456m CAD. Would Iceberg or one of our experts be kind enough to review this and see if there are any parallels for XTR . This was a small miner who recently has struck it rich in a similarly safe jurisdiction.

Hi . No we are not a anonymous group partly cos I do not know how to set one up but mainly because we need to know that we are genuinely representing shareholders when we ask CB to spare his time . it is all very proper and organised by a chartered accountant.

CE. Gracious me .. you were one of the founders almost. Apologies please send in your details again.

I have been idly looking through PoPs posts in an attempt to understand why he is so anti our chairman. ( not had much to do today!) His posting is on the whole measured and quite interesting but it seems he has two betes noirs. Namely some poor chap called Max on UFO who is always getting it in the neck from Pops and of course our chairman. Seems his animosity to CB stems from buying in at .38 and I have not worked out what Max has done to upset him so. Pops talks about confirmation bias and the joy of the early morning adrenaline kicks waiting for the RNS on AIM . His brother an accountant thinks he is daft and only invests on the main market. He has a mate working for a London law firm earning 400k who advises him occasionally . He is 40 year old doctor who has worked in rural Wales Edinburgh and London I think. He is a prolific poster and generally comes across as a reasonable man so it is a bit of a mystery why he dislikes CB so much. Especially as he has made money out of XTR ( although he sold out a bit prematurely it seems.) Poor old Colín is accused of having too many fingers in too many pies, of living in UAE and being old. The last two occasions I have been in contact he has been in South Africa and 77 is not too old to qualify for some quite big jobs in the US (it has been pointed out!) As for too many pies ... he seems to doing quite well in his various companies except for BZT . Although arguably BZT is in much better shape than three years ago , but the SP does not reflect this I Agree. The only setback we have suffered since he joined us was to draw a blank on the anomaly at Hope. I expect POPs will have the good grace to retract his anti Birdery when BZt rises back above .38p.

Pops seems very exercised about how AIM shares and their CEOs operate. Obviously the risks on AIM are much greater but take the two shares he discusses for example. £1000 invested in BZT five years ago and two years ago. These investments would today be worth £100 and £500 respectively. Not a great return and the reason why we BZT holders are fairly miserable .( Fortunately I have invested in both ) Same £1000 money in XTR would be worth £8,000 and £42,000 today. So making money is a combination of luck timing and skill. Bit like horse racing but always better to choose a good trainer and you might, as CB has just announced, make it to the Melbourne cup one day with Bushranger. We at BZT hope the stable may have some promising group
one prospects in Metrock, Kalengwa and Hope. The other two Eureka and Mankayan have been put out to stud and may also bring in some income under new trainers. We are hopeful that one or more of the of these will come good. My money is on Kalegwa and Metrock!

many thanks for doing this. Much apreciated.

Silver knight .. You have every right to complain at the massive dilution which LTHs have suffered in BZT. But prospects are much improved from the dark days when Mankayan had been written off and the Columbian platinum venture was mismanaged by Oliver and Read. I think CB was referring to what the rich Jorc validated mine would be worth in Australia, Nevada or Africa rather than the politically risky Phillippines. Complaining about the past may make you feel better but does not help sentiment in BZT. Since 2018 copper prices have doubled and our focus has shifted to CBs stamping ground in Southern Africa. The SP although still very low has risen from its .0.07 nadir and should rise substantially as the new projects progress. You should hang on in . Unlike Pops with his much vaunted research and bitter whingeing. CB did mention BZT in his latest podcast with Zak Mir btw. He sounded very positive about its prospects,

If this SP is so massively undervalued then I suggest you all follow Mr T's advice and buy more shares. I happen to think it is due to go much higher but I have already maxed out here and have bought all the way up to 6.5. and have no funds available .But nothing to stop the rest of you . Go get on with it...

I have just relistened to CB's latest sharetalk from 3 days ago in which after XTR he he discusses the two BZT African projects which are either being drilled or just about to be at Kalengwa and Botswana Kanye . The more I delve into Giyani metals which is the neighbouring license at Kanye the more tempting BZT at this price becomes. This is one of five projects BZT owns and the market cap of BZT is a fraction of Giyani Metals valued at $112m CAD. Check it out . Makes little sense to me . Anyway I have put my money where my mouth is and topped up today at under .23.
CB bought bought in 1m shares in XTR yesterday. This demonstrates the confidence he has in his ventures . And he sounded pretty confident about BZT too. Cannot be long before we get a re rate given our assets.

RR and My First million think of the Manganese. We are expecting results soon from our excavations at Metrock's Kanye. licence. We have already seen historical assays of upto 71% 74%and 58% MNO from three sites in our licenses. CF RNS of December acquisition . We are "focusing on PL2019 which is close to K Hill where most of the manganese occurrences are located". K Hill is the flag ship of Giyani Metals. The Canadian junior miner is our close neighbour, currently valued at $112 m CAD. For those who have not followed the progress of BZT we recently bought licenses in Botswana in a Manganese miner adjacent to Giyani's flagship prospect . When we acquired Metrock just two months ago Giyania shares were at 28c. They are now 75c. BZT has hardly budged. This on the basis that Giyani expect to mine high grade manganese which can be processed into EMM or MSM needed for batteries. CB has put us in an excellent position to benefit from this as well. Giyani claims to have entered an NDA with a global EV company. It would be great to team up with Giyani and we know they are interested because they have water issues at K.Hill
