“Bannerman Energy and CNNC Overseas Limited (CNOL) have signed an agreement to advance the Etango uranium project, securing both funding and long-term uranium offtake for the development.”
“In addition, a range of exploration activities are set to contribute to Namibia's energy future: Etango-8 (Bannerman), Tumas (Deep Yellow), Norasa (Forsys) and Elevate Uranium's portfolio (Koppies and others).”
The Namibian Competition Commission has approved CNNC Overseas Ltd's acquisition of a minority interest in Bannerman Energy, which is developing the Etango uranium project in Erongo. The approval came subject to conditions requiring employment creation, skills development and transfer, and increased participation of Namibian firms in the uranium value chain.
Bannerman Energy and CNNC Overseas Limited have signed an agreement securing funding and long-term uranium offtake for the Etango uranium project. CNOL will receive a life-of-mine entitlement to 60% of yellowcake production and make an initial investment of US$294.5 million, while Bannerman retains 55% stake in a new joint venture company.
The Chamber of Mines of Namibia reports that major mining projects including the Tumas Uranium Project, Twin Hills Gold Project, and Etango Uranium Project continued to progress in 2025, supporting the sector's role as a main economic driver, though rising policy uncertainty is starting to affect investor confidence.
Australian uranium developer Bannerman Energy has praised the progress and commitment of local Namibian contractors at its Etango project in the Erongo region, with over N$690 million in contracts placed locally. The company has also restructured certain contracts into smaller packages to enable Namibian contractors to participate and help meet project timelines.
Bannerman Energy's project chief Gavin Chamberlain has advised Namibia to target investment in a uranium conversion facility as the most realistic next step in value addition, though he warns that such a facility would require extremely high uranium volumes to be economically viable and would face contractual hurdles from international utilities that currently dictate delivery destinations under existing contracts.
Bannerman Energy has signed a strategic financing agreement with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) subsidiary CNNC Overseas Limited, which will invest up to N$5 billion in the Etango uranium project and receive a 43% stake and rights to 60% of production. The investment is targeted for completion by mid-2026.
Namibia is one of the world's top three uranium producers and stands to benefit from rising global demand for nuclear power as countries pursue clean-energy goals. The country's three active uranium projects—Rössing, Husab, and the recently restarted Langer Heinrich—plus exploration activities could significantly increase output and government revenues over the next decade, though the water-intensive industry faces challenges from drought and market volatility.
