Navachab takes steps to establish underground mining operations

QKR Namibia Navachab Gold Mine is taking important steps toward establishing underground mining operations as part of its long-term strategy to sustain and expand production.

Following a successful trial mining phase and encouraging geological results, the mine has progressed with underground development aimed at unlocking additional mineral resources that cannot be economically mined through open-pit methods.

Underground Mining Project Manager, Venancio Guchu, said the current phase of development is focused on creating access for exploration drilling and gathering critical geological data required for future mining decisions.
