The Sandpiper mine is a Namibian mine located off the coast of the harbour town of Walvis Bay. Sandpiper represents one of the largest phosphate reserves in Namibia, having estimated reserves of 1.82 billion tonnes of ore grading 19.5% P2O5. Although phosphate mining is controversial in Namibia because of its potential impact on the fishing industry, the mining license was granted in 2011.
