Bannerman (ASX:BMN)'s Etango joint venture has taken a positive Final Investment Decision on the Etango Uranium Project in Namibia, committing it to full-scale construction.
The Etango JV is owned 55% by Bannerman and 45% by CNNC Overseas Limited, and holds 95% of the project. FID was taken on the Etango-8 design, with forecast average annual production of approximately 3.5 Mlbs U3O8, and commissioning and first production expected during 2028. Forecast pre-production capital expenditure is approximately US$353 million (+/-10%), drawing on a June 2024 cost update, of which approximately US$64 million has been incurred through early works to 30 September 2026. The company says the residual is funded by existing Etango JV cash of approximately US$295 million. Bannerman's residual share of forecast working capital through construction, ramp-up and into targeted commercial production is to be funded from its existing cash balance of approximately A$175 million. Danie van Aswegen, Chief Operating Officer (Namibia) since October 2025, has been appointed CEO of Bannerman Mining Resources Namibia.
The capital estimate carries a +/-10% range and rests on 2022 and 2024 study work. The release refers to a cornerstone offtake framework on market-based terms but gives no offtake volumes or prices.
