Namib Minerals Limited announced significant assay results from its 2025 surface sampling program at the Portage Pass area within its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project in United States — Alaska. The program identified a new broad zone of Gold mineralization, 2.5km from the existing Korbel deposit, with rock samples showing grades up to 14.3 g/t Au and soil samples up to 1.8 g/t Au. This discovery is considered potentially significant due to its geochemical signature being comparable to the multi-million ounce Korbel gold deposit and its proximity to existing resources and proposed infrastructure. Namib Minerals plans a detailed soil sampling grid and a ground-based induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2026 to further explore the anomaly. The company is also advancing its Antimony critical minerals strategy, supported by a US$43.4 million award from the United States — United States Department of Defense.
