Watch for the mill commissioning update in mid-October and the ramp-up trajectory through year-end; successful ramp to full rate by December would support a >30,000 oz annualized run-rate entering 2027. Monitor Redwing restart milestones and any further liquidity needs given the working capital deficit.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Namib Minerals reported strong H1 2026 results with revenue up 40% to $50.8M and Adjusted EBITDA up 76% to $19.0M, driven by a 48% higher gold price. The company is commissioning a mill expansion at How Mine (mid-October) that will lift processing capacity by ~36%, and has accelerated the restart of Redwing Mine with first gold targeted by January 2027. However, full-year 2026 production guidance was revised down to 26,500–27,000 ounces from 28,000–31,500 ounces due to the timing of the mill ramp-up, and the company has a working capital deficit of $42.9M, partially offset by recent debt facilities.
