Bezant lifts Hope & Gorob stake to 90% in £1.1m Namibia deal

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Bezant Resources ( (GB:BZT) ) just unveiled an update.

Bezant Resources has agreed to acquire an additional 20% stake in its Namibian Hope and Gorob project from local partner MKH Tangible Investments, increasing its ownership from 70% to 90%, with MKH retaining 10% and board representation. The £1.114 million consideration will be paid through 515.3 million new shares and staged cash payments, with the share element subject to lock-up and orderly market terms, and the transaction deemed fair and reasonable by independent directors under AIM related-party rules.

The company highlighted a previously published feasibility study showing robust economics for Hope and Gorob, including a 62% IRR and $46.2 million NPV at assumed copper and gold prices that are below current market levels, underscoring the strategic importance of consolidating control over its main asset. Admission of the new shares to trading on AIM is expected around 2 April 2026, taking Bezant’s issued share capital to about 18.66 billion shares and slightly diluting existing shareholders while strengthening its stake in a project seen as a key driver of future production, profits and local economic benefits in Namibia.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BZT) stock is a Hold with a £0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bezant Resources stock, see the GB:BZT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BZT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BZT is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by very weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and persistent cash burn), despite a relatively low-leverage balance sheet. Technical signals are meaningfully positive and support the score, while valuation appears inexpensive on P/E but is tempered by the company’s weak operating/cash profile.
