Brandberg West is a historically producing polymetallic project located in Namibia’s Erongo Region, approximately 110 km from the Uis Mine.
Following a successful exploration drilling campaign and positive XRT ore-sorting testwork, Andrada is fast-tracking the project in partnership with ACAM LP. A staged US$51 million investment provides funding for exploration, metallurgical testwork, resource definition and completion of a definitive feasibility study.
The partnership is structured as a two-stage earn-in for up to 49% ownership and is intended to fund the project through completion of a DFS.
Andrada is advancing Brandberg West through a strategic partnership with an ACAM LP subsidiary.
The two-stage earn-in agreement provides up to US$51 million of staged investment and gives the partner the opportunity to earn an interest of up to 49%. The funding is designed to support the project through drilling, metallurgical testwork, resource definition and completion of a definitive feasibility study.
Brandberg West combines a history of tin and tungsten production with newly confirmed high-grade polymetallic mineralisation.
Approximately 3,000 metres of exploration drilling has demonstrated the continuation of mineralisation within the historical mining area and its extensions. Results have confirmed significant tungsten, tin and copper grades, strengthening the potential to define a substantial polymetallic resource.
The project gives Andrada direct exposure to tungsten, a strategic and supply-constrained critical mineral, together with additional tin and copper upside.
Brandberg West is progressing through a structured programme intended to establish the scale, metallurgy and economic potential of the project.
Further drilling and geological modelling to define a maiden tin, tungsten and copper Mineral Resource.
Larger-scale ore-sorting and beneficiation testwork to develop an effective processing flowsheet.
Evaluation of historical mine waste, plant waste and surface dumps for their potential to provide readily accessible mineralised feed.
Assessment of the technical and economic viability of future mining and beneficiation operations.
