Insights

Namib Minerals refinances debt and adds secured facilities with tighter covenants.

Namib Minerals restructures its borrowing with ABC Bank, extending an existing term loan of $3,453,186 to a March 31, 2028 maturity and adding three facilities for capital expenditure and working capital. This concentrates a meaningful portion of financing with a single lender.

The package is backed by a Limited Guarantee of up to $8,453,186.11 and secured by a $15 million deed of hypothecation over the mining lease, plus liens on plant, equipment and associated insurance. Restrictive covenants on additional indebtedness, debt service cover and liens may limit future balance sheet flexibility.

Bulawayo Mining Company (Private) Limited (the “How Mining Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Namib Minerals (the “Company”), entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with African Banking Corporation of Zimbabwe Limited (“ABC Bank”) in October 2025 which provides for the Company’s existing Term Loan with ABC Bank with an outstanding balance of $3,453,186 (the “Existing Term Loan Facility”) to be carried over to the Facility Agreement with a maturity of March 31, 2028 and the creation of three new facilities: (i) a $2.5 million term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”), (ii) a $1.0 million overdraft facility (the “Overdraft Facility”), and (iii) a $1.5 million promissory notes facility (“Note Facility” and, together the Existing Term Loan Facility, the New Term Loan Facility, and the Overdraft Facility, the “Facilities”). The New Term Loan Facility has a maturity of twenty-four (24) months from the date of drawndown, the Overdraft Facility is available until July 31, 2026, and the Note Facility has a maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of drawdown.

The purpose of the Facilities is to finance capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

 

The Facility Agreement provides for restrictive covenants, including limitations on additional debt, the maintenance of a debt service cover ratio, and limitations on certain liens. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Facility Agreement is based on the base lending rate quoted by ABC Bank. The Facility Agreement is secured by a $15 million deed of hypothecation over the mining lease of the How Mining Company and a lien over certain plant and equipment with a cession of insurance over such assets. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $3.8 million was outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Facility and $1.0 million was outstanding under the Overdraft Facility.
