- Stock Surge: Namib Minerals' shares surged over 43% on Wednesday as gold prices exceeded $5,400 per ounce for the first time, reflecting strong market confidence and retail interest in the company.
- Multi-Asset Transition: The company has transitioned from a single-mine operator to a multi-asset gold producer, aiming to increase milling capacity at How Mine from 40,500 tonnes per month to 55,000 tonnes by the second half of 2026 to support higher volumes and offset recent grade declines.
- Mine Restart Plans: Namib is advancing the restart of the Redwing and Mazowe mines, with dewatering at Redwing expected to take around eight months, while infrastructure upgrades and engineering studies at Mazowe are also underway, indicating a proactive approach to future growth.
- Long-Term Production Goals: The company aims to become a mid-tier gold producer targeting 300,000 ounces annually, with preliminary capital estimates between $300 million and $400 million, and a funding strategy focused on minimizing shareholder dilution.
