("Bezant" or the "Company")

Notice of General Meeting

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the AIM quoted mineral exploration and development company, announces that a circular containing a notice of general meeting (the "General Meeting"), to be held at the offices of Joelson JD LLP, 30 Portland Place, London W1B 1LZ at 10.00 a.m. on 31 August 2016, has today been sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive hard copy shareholder communications from the Company. The purpose of the General Meeting is to seek shareholder approval to update the relevant board authorities to allot the Company's shares.

As announced on 27 January 2016, the Company's strategy is to assess the economic viability of the Colombian platinum/gold licence areas in the Choco region over which the group holds options. The licences cover areas of near-surface platinum that have previously supported low cost mining operations. With a management track record in developing successful platinum assets into production, the Company anticipates undertaking a series of work programmes, during 2016-17, in order, inter alia, to correlate data from historical mining operations, define new platinum areas, undertake advanced separation and recovery test-work and ultimately create a low cost mine plan. Accordingly, additional equity funding will be sought in due course in order to pursue these objectives and secure general working capital for the group.

The notice of General Meeting and form of proxy, together with an explanatory covering letter from the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, can be downloaded from the Company's website at www.bezantresources.com.
