Besra Gold (OTC: BESAF) received an independent technical review of its Bau Gold Project in Sarawak, Malaysia dated 13 November 2025. The review found that tenure (renewal of ML 05/2012/1D) is the primary constraint and that non-renewal materially impedes near-term development. An October 2025 MRE update shows a reduction in Measured and Indicated resources, while the southern Pejiru area retains a large Inferred Resource and is highlighted as a priority for disciplined exploration. Metallurgical complexity across deposits requires further test work. The Board has paused exploration and development activities pending lease renewal and approved new community and government engagement strategies overseen by the Chief Technical Director.
