Bannerman Energy awards tenders worth N$36 million

Namibia exports N$2,8b uranium to China

BANNERMAN Energy has awarded two key early works’ contracts for essential infrastructure at Etango.

This comes after the mining company was granted a mining licence for the Etango Uranium Project.
The company announced this last week in a press statement.

Bannerman managing director and chief executive officer Brandon Munro said the milestone validates the company’s unwavering dedication to the flagship project.

“The contracts awarded to a local Namibian contractor, following a tender process undertaken earlier this year, will allow for the temporary construction of a water pipeline to ensure sufficient water is available onsite when the main earthworks and civil contracts commence,” said Munro.

Chamberlain added that Namibia is an ideal place to build and operate a uranium mine.
