Bannerman Energy says it would require more N$5.6 billion (US$320 million) in pre-production funding after a definitive feasibility study (DFS) into its Etango 8 uranium project, in Namibia, has confirmed the project’s economic viability.

AfriTin Mining is seeking a name change to Andrada Mining, a move the company said is reflective of its expansion into lithium and tantalum resources, alongside its existing tin production, in the country.

AfriTin Mining says its latest exploration drill results from five further holes drilled during its ongoing exploration for lithium and tantalum at the Uis mine in Namibia contain the highest average lithium grade.

The Bank of Namibia (BoN) has seconded its Exchange Control and Legal Services Director, Bryan Eiseb, to the Ministry of Mines and Energy to act as the Ministry’s Executive Director for a period of seven months.

Uranium hopeful Deep Yellow has flagged a cost blowout at its Tumas project, in Namibia, where a definitive feasibility study (DFS) is currently under internal review.
