Headspring Investments (Pty) Ltd expresses serious concern over the systematic dissemination of false and misleading information in Namibia's public domain regarding the company's activities and its project in the Omaheke Region.

The company notes that a significant portion of the critical statements appearing in media and public discussions bears no relation to reality and is based on unsubstantiated claims, rumours, or outright distortions of facts.
Such assertions mislead the public about the true status and scale of the work being conducted.

“The Headspring Investments project is based on a strictly scientific approach and relies on advanced in situ recovery (ISR) technologies, which are used at around 60% of uranium mining worldwide. These technologies ensure the full protection of aquifers, including the Stampriet aquifer, in line with the most stringent international environmental standards.
Our goal is to implement a project that will become a benchmark for combining economic development with care for the environment and social responsibility. The project’s approach is built on scientific research, regulatory oversight and transparent engagement,” said Headspring Investments Managing Director Kirill Egorov Kirillov.

Headspring Investments emphasises that the company strictly complies with Namibian legislation, operates within the scope of issued permits, and remains under the supervision of the relevant regulatory authorities. All stages of work are carried out transparently and in accordance with established procedures.

The company considers it unacceptable to use unverified information to shape negative public opinion and create an atmosphere of distrust around a lawful investment project.

Headspring Investments calls upon all participants in the discussion - civil society organisations, the media, and political figures - to refrain from spreading unsubstantiated claims and to refer to official information provided by the company through established communication channels.

The company remains open to constructive dialogue based on facts and scientific data, and is ready to provide reliable information about its activities to all interested stakeholders.

Leonardville Community Health & Wellness Day 🩺❤️

On 16 December 2025, the Leonardville Clinic was a hub of health, hope, and collaboration.

Headspring Investments, in strategic partnership with the Office of the Governor of theOmaheke Region and with technical support from AOA Technologies, successfully convened a vital community health initiative.

The day was dedicated to addressing healthcare access challenges by bringing essential medical services directly to the people of Leonardville. Over 100 residents received crucial diagnostic screenings, point-of-care tests, and personalized health guidance.

As part of our collaborative effort, we were also pleased to contribute a blood analyzing machine to support ongoing diagnostic services in the Omaheke region.

We were honored by the presence and active participation of community leaders, including Hon. Evelyn !Nawases-Taeyele and Hon. Pijoo Nganate, who joined residents in undergoing health assessments, demonstrating a powerful commitment to collective wellbeing.

The event underscored the tangible impact of innovative partnerships in strengthening rural healthcare, supporting national goals for universal health coverage, and most importantly, improving lives.

Thank you to the entire Leonardville community for your warm welcome and participation. This is just one step in our ongoing commitment to fostering health and wellness in the communities we serve.

Unlocking Africa's Mineral Potential with Russia: Innovation, Education & Partnership

The inaugural Russia-Africa Mineral Dialogue in St. Petersburg has set the stage for a new era of cooperation! 🤝

This strategic platform brought together over 500 participants from 40+ African countries and Russia to discuss the future of the mineral resource sector.

Key highlights that pave the way for a sustainable future:

🔬 Innovative Mining: A presentation by Alexander Boitsov (Uranium One Group/IAEA representative) highlighted the In-Situ Recovery (ISR) method - a groundbreaking, eco-friendly technology with minimal environmental footprint, poised for its first application in Africa.

📚 Education & Expertise: A core mission is intensifying cooperation in training highly qualified personnel, developing joint educational programs between Russian and African universities.

🌍 Strategic Partnership: As stated by Hon. Tjekero Tweya, Ex Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources of Namibia, the future lies not just in resource exchange, but in fusing Russian technological prowess with African potential and vision.

This Dialogue moves beyond traditional buyer-seller relationships, building a foundation for deep, technologically-driven partnerships for mutual prosperity.

Please join us in celebrating an incredible personal journey from Namibia to the top of the world! 🌍

Meet Teaghan Beresford from Namibia. As part of the “Icebreaker of Knowledge” expedition, Teaghan became the first Namibian to ever set foot on the North Pole! ❄️

But her journey was about so much more than a destination. She spent an hour at the helm of a massive nuclear icebreaker, won the hearts of the entire crew, and found a new perspective on life.

In her own words: "I think I gained a lot of self confidence... It reawakened a lot of my interests and hobbies that I had in the past, like programming."

🌊 She was moved by the electric bluish-turquoise of the Arctic Ocean and the surprising abundance of life in such a harsh environment. Her story is a powerful reminder that the greatest expeditions lead to discoveries within ourselves.

Watch the full video to be inspired by Teaghan's warmth, courage, and brilliant spirit. ✨
