Haib is a large, world-class, advanced open-pit Cu/Mo porphyry deposit with a long history of exploration & project development
One of a few Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper
deposit in the world (two in Namibia).
Excellent pedigree (Falconbridge, Rio Tinto, Teck) with a long history of exploration & project advancement
Due to its age (1.9Ga), multiple metamorphic and deformation events, but classic mineralization and alteration features typical of these deposits remain.
Mainly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present
Comparable size & grade projects in younger belts; Pebble (Alaska), Warintza (Ecuador). Tier 1 examples often have significant supergene enrichment; Escondida (Chile)

Approximate Future Open Pit Outline
-
Right-size & Optimize:
Complete met testwork, demonstrate techno-economic feasibility of conventional sulfide flotation process
Investigate viable, novel processing techniques to enhance process flowsheet
Deliver PEA (Q3 24) & Interim MRE Update (Q1 2026)
Enhanced PFS (Q4 2026)
-
