Namib Minerals provides corporate update following business combination close

Namib Minerals (NAMM) provided a corporate update after closing the business combination with Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI and listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NAMM. The Company also recently rang the Closing Bell at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on July 25, 2025. Namib Minerals’ foundation is built on a portfolio of cash-generating assets. Its anchor operation, How Mine in Zimbabwe, is a fully producing underground gold mine that generated 36.6 koz of gold and approximately $86M in revenue in 2024. With a strong operational track record and existing infrastructure, and assuming sufficient funding is obtained, Namib Minerals believes How Mine is well positioned for expansion. The Company is actively planning to increase the current production capacity to unlock additional value. Alongside How Mine, the Company is advancing restart plans for the Mazowe and Redwing mines in Zimbabwe. These assets are undergoing enabling works, with the expectation of returning both to production in the near term. Dewatering at Redwing is expected to begin this fiscal year, with parallel infrastructure upgrades continuing at Mazowe. As of December 31, 2023, Namib Minerals’ three gold assets have a substantial mineral endowment of 1.6Moz of gold in measured and indicated reserves at an average grade of 3.92 g/t Au, and an additional 2.4Moz in inferred resources at 3.57 g/t Au. In addition to optimizing and restarting existing operations, Namib Minerals expects to organize a series of feasibility studies to facilitate discovery of increased reserves and resources across all three projects. These studies are expected to form the technical foundation for future expansion and help underpin the Company’s long-term production profile. The Company’s exploration portfolio in the Democratic Republic of Congo comprises an interest in 13 exploration permits targeting copper and cobalt – two critical minerals essential to the global energy transition. This marks an important part of diversifying Namib Minerals’ commodity base while maintaining exposure to structurally robust markets. Namib Minerals operates according to leading international standards, with ISO 14001, 9001, and 45001 certifications for environmental responsibility, quality, and occupational health and safety. The Company is committed to maintaining these standards as it expands, helping to ensure that all new sites operate under its established Operational Excellence framework aligned with these ISO certifications. Such framework also includes Sustainability, with environmental best practices, and Shared Prosperity, through continuous partnerships with our local communities and governments.
