The mine is owned by the Canada-based Deep-South Resources, Inc., through its subsidiary, Haib Minerals.[2] Deep-South finished acquiring the mine in 2017 from Teck Resources, in exchange for Teck owning a 35% stake in Deep-South.[3] As of 2021, the mine is in the prospecting stage, with the Supreme Court of Namibia ruling that the company could renew its permit.[4]
