How Mine milling expansion • 2026-10-15

Base target: $1 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Revenue and production declined in 2025, C1 cost per ounce increased to about $1,653, and 2026 guidance assumes a $4,500 gold price. How Mine commissioning, grade stabilization, Redwing dewatering, funding availability and Zimbabwe operating conditions could all disappoint; reported 2025 profit was materially affected by non-cash listing-related items [#SEC-6K-2026-04-02].

Invalidation

Break below $1 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Namib has a producing asset, reported adjusted EBITDA growth and operating cash flow, and could benefit if How Mine throughput improves and Redwing progresses without heavy dilution. The very low market capitalization relative to guided EBITDA is potentially attractive, but this is a high-risk inference rather than a validated valuation conclusion.

Commentary

This remains a low-coverage, low-conviction monitoring view. The April 2 company release and SEC-filed exhibit provide primary support for the operating milestones and guidance [#SEC-6K-2026-04-02][#IR-2026-04-02], but the packet contains no recent news, social context, analyst revisions or verified post-print price-reaction evidence. The deterministic prior is directionally positive but has low evidence quality and very high uncertainty.

How Mine milling expansion
The planned How Mine milling-capacity increase from 40,500 to 55,000 tonnes per month is expected online in the second half of 2026. Successful commissioning would provide tangible evidence for the production-growth thesis [#SEC-6K-2026-04-02][#IR-2026-04-02].
Prob 50.00% • Move 22.00% • Priced-in 35.00%
EVENT2026-10-15
Redwing dewatering and funding checkpoint
Redwing dewatering began January 29, 2026 and is expected to run for roughly eight months through late 2026. The restart also depends on securing phased funding, making this meaningful upside optionality with substantial financing and execution risk [#SEC-6K-2026-04-02][#IR-2026-04-02].

Next few weeks

2026 guidance requires operating proof
2026-10-15
The company reported FY2025 production of approximately 25,000 ounces, $82.6 million revenue and 18% adjusted EBITDA growth to $29.0 million, with results described as in line with guidance. Its 2026 outlook targets 28,000-31,500 ounces and $50-$62 million adjusted EBITDA, but execution and cost delivery remain unproven [#SEC-6K-2026-04-02][#IR-2026-04-02].

Risks

2026 AISC guidance of $2,400-$2,700 per ounce leaves limited margin if gold prices weaken.
Gold-price, equipment, political and social risks associated with operating in Zimbabwe.
How Mine grade, throughput and equipment availability may not improve as planned.
No reliable analyst-revision, target-change or post-earnings market-reaction evidence is available in the packet.
Redwing restart requires successful dewatering and additional funding, potentially with dilution.
Reported 2025 profit was heavily influenced by non-cash listing-related accounting items.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
NEXM	Same-sector market-cap candidate with potentially closer mining relevance, but the packet provides no operating-data basis for a strong read-through to Namib.
SRL	Same-sector small-cap candidate; business-model comparability is uncertain, so it is useful only as loose market-access context.
AVD	Similar-market-cap Materials candidate, but operating comparability to a Zimbabwe gold producer is weak.
