Namib Minerals keeps restart momentum at Redwing Mine
Namib Minerals provided an operational update on the restart process at its Redwing Mine in Zimbabwe where dewatering activities are progressing consistent with the operational framework outlined in its April 2026 business update.
“We are pleased that the restart process at Redwing is advancing on schedule,” said Tulani Sikwila, Chief Executive Officer of Namib Minerals. “The progress we have made on dewatering reinforces our confidence in the restart pathway as we look ahead to the next phase of technical work at the mine. Redwing is a central component of our long-term strategy of building a scaled, multi-asset African gold platform through disciplined brownfield development and phased capital deployment.”
Redwing is a brownfield mining site that has produced 650,000 ounces of gold historically and today holds 1.18 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated resources that we are targeting will provide the platform for Namib’s next phase of growth.
Since the commencement of dewatering activities on 29th January 2026, the Company has pumped approximately 544,570 cubic meters of water from the mine workings, with water levels declining by approximately 21.9 meters over the period. Current combined pumping capacity is approximately 640m³ per hour and water levels have declined to approximately 74.9 meters below the Redwing Shaft surface collar. This represents good progress toward targeted underground access levels.
Dewatering progress
- High-capacity submersible pumps expected on site in the coming week to further increase pumping capacity.
- Dewatering infrastructure continues to operate consistently with no material interruptions reported since pumping activities commenced on 29th January 2026.
- Current pumping capacity exceeds requirements providing flexibility ahead of the next underground access milestones.
