Analysis · NAMM · Energy & Transportation
A detailed five-step restart plan for the Redwing Mine has been published, with the Definitive Feasibility Study's technical programme now fully funded. Investors gain a concrete timeline: dewatering by Q4 2026, DFS completion in early Q1 2027, and resource definition drilling through Q4 2027, contingent on the next funding round. The company also disclosed that the $5 million Ecobank facility secured last week frees up internal cash flow to cover the DFS, removing a key uncertainty. This transforms Redwing from a vague restart ambition into a sequenced, funded project — a material de-risking event for a company with a market cap around $76 million.
