London-listed Bezant Resources has signed a nonbinding letter of intent (LOI) to enter into a partnership with CrossBoundary Energy Management and Eversolar for the provision of a renewable and/or hybrid  solar energy supply for the Hope and Gorob copper/gold project in Namibia, in which Bezant holds a 70% interest.
Subject to executing a legally binding offtake agreement, the installation will provide a sustainable renewable power supply for both the crushing and ore sorting plants at the mine site, as well as a renewable installation at the flotation plant located close to Swakopmund that will be reconfigured to produce a final copper/gold concentrate from the ore sorted preconcentrate.
Bezant said on July 24 that it had been seeking an energy solution for the project that will save on energy cost, reduce CO2 emissions and reinforce its sustainability initiative consistent with best environmental, social, and governance practices.
The Hope and Gorob project has already committed to the use of dry ore sorting to reduce water consumption, together with the repurposing of an existing offsite flotation plant that reduces the project’s physical footprint.
