Langer Heinrich Mine

A strategic tier one uranium asset
with a long-life operation

Our Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM) in Namibia (75% Paladin ownership) is a strategic tier one uranium asset with a long-life operation, located in central western Namibia approximately 80km east of Swakopmund and 85km northeast of the Walvis Bay major deepwater harbour.

The uranium mined and processed at the LHM is being used to resource nuclear power plants, helping drive the global energy transition to a low carbon future.

Operational ramp-up expected to be completed by FY2027

  • Conventional open pit mining operation with a 17-year life of mine
  • Surficial calcrete secondary mineral deposit allowing for relatively low strip ratios and Run of Mine feed beneficiation
  • Proven low risk, conventional alkaline leach process utilising novel technologies for heat and reagent recovery
  • High purity U3O8 product due to alkaline process chemistry
  • Excellent local infrastructure (port, road, rail, water & power) with close proximity to Walvis Bay port
