Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Virtual Investor Conference summary
15 Oct, 2026Haib project and study outlook
Haib is a large open-pit sulfide copper project in Namibia, at the PFS stage; the study was targeted for publication by end-November 2026.
The PFS is expected to show copper production up 30%-40% to more than 100,000 tonnes per year, with a lower stripping ratio, longer mine life and slightly higher CapEx.
Management expects a definitive feasibility study and project financing during 2027; construction is estimated at 2-3 years, with first copper targeted for 2030.
Environmental approval and a mining license are expected in H2 2027.
Processing and project economics
Coarse particle flotation (CPF) is planned to reject roughly 20%-25% low-value waste; management expects feed grade of 0.4%-0.45%, while noting the PFS will confirm results.
Management said CPF could increase grade by about 25%, reduce throughput and costs, and lift copper production; the processing method is established and considered low risk for the ore type.
Near-surface higher-grade zones are expected to improve early mine years; recent drilling supports potential to expand and improve project metrics.
Orange River water infrastructure, 10 km from the project, is estimated at $100 million-$150 million and described as a low-cost, low-risk supply option.
Heap leaching will be removed from the PFS to simplify the project; two processing trains allow for potential expansion to a third.
Development strategy and jurisdiction
Strategy is to optimize and de-risk Haib, advance it to construction readiness, then either build it or pursue a sale or joint venture.
During 2027, the team plans to progress infrastructure, water and power arrangements, complete the definitive study and arrange project financing while evaluating strategic alternatives.
Namibia was described as a stable, mining-supportive jurisdiction with nearby grid power, water, roads, rail and population centers; local ownership and investor backing are seen as supporting social license and localization.
Management cited strong local stakeholder support for mining-led jobs and socioeconomic development.
