1. Restart timeline
Namib Minerals is accelerating the restart of Zimbabwe’s Redwing Mine and targets first gold in November 2026, ahead of completing the definitive feasibility study. The accelerated schedule responds to Zimbabwe’s production requirements for foreign-owned operators, with thresholds due by January 1, 2027.
2. Production targets
Initial processing is expected to be approximately 3,600 tonnes of ore per month, yielding an estimated 338 ounces of gold monthly. The company targets approximately 10,000 tonnes of ore and 835 ounces of gold monthly by Q2 2027, which will require additional winding capacity. A higher-capacity winder is expected by the end of Q1 2027, and FY2026 guidance remains unchanged.
