In Namibia, B2Gold operates the Otjikoto Mine, located approximately 300 kilometers north of Windhoek. The mine is recognized as one of the largest gold producers in the country and has played a central role in Namibia’s mining sector since commencing production in 2014. The operation includes both open-pit and underground mining activities, with ore sourced from the Otjikoto pit and the Wolfshag underground deposit. As the mine transitions from open-pit to underground operations, production is expected to continue into the late 2020s, supported by exploration initiatives and stockpile processing.
B2Gold’s Namibian operations utilize modern processing techniques, including gravity concentration and cyanide leaching, to efficiently recover gold from mined ore. The company has also invested in sustainable energy solutions, integrating solar power and national grid electricity to reduce operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions. With annual production guidance reaching up to approximately 200,000 ounces of gold, Otjikoto remains a cornerstone asset within B2Gold’s global portfolio.
The company continues to expand its presence in Namibia through ongoing exploration programs, particularly at the Antelope deposit near Otjikoto, which shows strong potential to extend the mine’s life into the next decade. B2Gold’s long-term strategy emphasizes operational efficiency, responsible mining practices, and sustainable development, positioning the company as a key contributor to Namibia’s economy and the global gold supply chain.
