  Over the past ten years, B2Gold’s operations in Namibia have contributed N$7.2 billion in taxes and royalties to the government, nearly matching the N$7.1 billion paid out to shareholders. The Otjikoto gold project, which began commercial production in 2015, has produced an estimated 1.7 million ounces of gold by the end of 2024, averaging between 150,000 and 200,000 ounces annually. “Over ten years, the government has taken N$7.2 billion. And B2Gold has taken N$7.1 billion. So that seems to be a fair share of wealth that’s sitting in the ground. Plus we invested the capital to actually get access to the resource,” said John Roos, B2Gold Namibia Country Manager. He said the mine operates with 90% ownership through B2Gold Corporation, listed on the New York, Toronto and Namibian stock exchanges, while 10% is locally owned. It processes 3.4 million tonnes of ore annually, with a gold recovery rate of approximately 98%. “At Otjikoto, 99% of our workforce is Namibian. Local procurement exceeds 57% of total inputs, and dividends benefit Namibians and are reinvested into the country,” Roos said. Beyond production, B2Gold has prioritised sustainability and environmental management. The company implements progressive rehabilitation of mined areas, ensuring restoration takes place throughout the mine’s life rather than at closure. By the end of 2025, a dedicated rehabilitation fund will cover all environmental obligations, securing long-term ecological responsibility. “Since 2018, we have commissioned solar plants at our mines, totalling 17 megawatts, reducing reliance on heavy fuel oil and lowering costs. We aim to expand renewable energy use further despite some legislative limitations,” Roos added. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has also been a key focus. Between 2013 and 2024, B2Gold spent US$16.6 million on projects in education, health, the environment and livelihoods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company made a one-off donation of US$2 million to the Office of the Prime Minister, reflecting its commitment to national welfare and social support. “The Rhino Gold Bar project continues to provide returns to entities such as the Save the Rhino Trust. These projects live on beyond Otjikoto Mine’s life and demonstrate sustainable investment,” Roos said. He added that Namibia’s wider mining sector has also made significant contributions to the economy. In 2024 alone, mining paid N$5.6 billion in taxes, employed 20,000 Namibians, and invested US$1.5 billion in exploration — the highest annual exploration spend in the country’s history. Since 2013, cumulative CSR spending across the mining sector has totalled N$1.7 billion, supporting education, healthcare, infrastructure and technical training. Roos noted that Namibia’s stable political environment and regulatory framework continue to attract investment. With 35 years of independence and no major political unrest, he said the country is regarded as a favourable destination for mining companies, enabling B2Gold to grow its operations while maintaining accountability to local communities and the government. “This is not a technical discussion but a call to action. We must change the narrative about mining in Namibia. Through networks, education and engagement, we can communicate that mining brings significant, long-term benefits to the country and its people,” Roos said.

 The Ministry of Environment and Tourism has dispatched a team to contain a cyanide spill between Otjiwarongo and Otavi. This follows two trucks colliding about 10km north of Otjiwarongo on the B1 road on Thursday. One of the trucks belongs to Coleman Transport, which was transporting 26 000kg of sodium cyanide bags from the Port of Walvis Bay to the B2Gold mine. Due to the danger of cyanide, the Office of the Environmental Commissioner dispatched a team from the ministry’s Otjiwarongo office to conduct a site inspection. This was announced in a statement the ministry released on Thursday. “Only one bag was slightly damaged, releasing solid sodium cyanide (NaCN) blocks onto the ground – approximately 0.05% of
the total load. “There was also fuel leakage from the tanks of both trucks, which spilled onto the ground,” the statement reads. Cyanide is a highly toxic chemical compound that occurs as a white, water-soluble solid. It is commonly known for its toxicity and is used in the extraction of precious metals such as gold and silver. The ministry says the company responsible for the spill was required to contract a clean-up company, and a response team is currently clearing the site. Ministry officials are also present to inspect and monitor the ongoing clean-up. The chief scientist under the commission’s office responsible for the waste management and pollution subdivision
was deployed to assess the extent of the chemical spill in terms of environmental and public safety. In addition to the ministry’s team, a private company called Haszkem Namibia CC, specialising in chemical spill management and clean-up, was called in to help with the clean-up process. The B2Gold health, safety, and environment team also rushed to the scene with the necessary mitigation measures. The ministry says all emergency response teams managed to bring the spillage under control and assisted law-enforcement officials in directing road users to mitigate potential impacts. Ministry of Health and Social Services executive director Penda Ithindi on Thursday said there was no evidence of cyanide spillage and investigations were being conducted to determine such. Ithindi reassured the public that although the preliminary report indicates that one of the trucks was carrying sealed bags with cyanide bricks, there is no evidence of chemical spillage, thereby no danger to public health. He, however, urged the public to comply with the authorities’ instructions. “Public safety remains our highest priority, and all necessary measures are being taken to assess and manage the situation,” Ithindi said.
