Big things are happening in the world of mining, and if you blink, you might miss it. 

Namib Minerals, a rising force in Africa’s precious metals sector, is about to go public in a deal that could send shockwaves through the industry. 

The SEC just gave the green light, and on April 7, 2025, stockholders will cast their votes on a high-stakes business merger with Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI (Nasdaq: HCVI). 

If this merger is approved, Namib Minerals will debut on the Nasdaq under the tickers NAMM and NAMMW.

This Deal Matters More Than We Think

Namib Minerals isn’t just another mining company. 

Through its operating arm, Greenstone, it already runs three gold mines in Zimbabwe and holds 13 copper and cobalt exploration licenses in the DRC, a goldmine of critical minerals needed for global industries. 

With the demand for precious and industrial metals soaring, this move could place Namib Minerals as a major player in the global commodities market.

The High-Risk, High-Reward Play

Going public on the Nasdaq means increased visibility and liquidity, but do not ignore the risks. 

The company operates in politically complex regions like Zimbabwe and the DRC, which are territories known for regulatory uncertainty. 

On top of that, existing HCVI shareholders have the option to cash out as of April 3, 2025, which could impact available capital.

But despite the risks, investors are eyeing this as a unique opportunity. 

The trend of SPACs bringing natural resource giants to market has been picking up steam, and Namib Minerals could be the next success story (if it plays its cards right).

If Things Don’t Go Wrong…

• By April 3rd, 2025, HCVI shareholders reached the deadline to redeem shares.
• On April 7, the all-important shareholder vote on the business combination will happen. 
• Then a post-vote will take place. If approved, Namib Minerals will begin trading as a publicly listed company on the Nasdaq.

If you’re tracking the next big mining breakthrough, Namib Minerals is one to watch. 

With a diverse portfolio of assets and a shot at Wall Street recognition, this move could be a game-changer. 

Will it soar or stumble? April 7 will tell us everything.
