Uis tin project, Namibia
Name of the Project
Uis tin project.
Location
The Uis project consists of three project areas in the Erongo region of Namibia.
Client
AfriTin Mining.
Project Description
Uis has a non-Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 73-million tonnes, grading at 0.136% tin, and an additional 2.7-million tonnes at 0.015% tantalum pentoxide. AfriTin has undertaken a detailed mine design for the V1 and V2 pegmatite bodies, previously identified as priority targets, to supply feed to the new intermediary processing plant.
The design of the proposed Uis tin mine includes an initial five-year mine production schedule to start operations on the outcropping pegmatite bodies and existing excavations of the historical V1/V2 pits.
This in-house mine plan supports an over-burden stripping ratio of less than one (over-burden-to-ore ratio) and a fast ramp-up profile using conventional openpit mining methods.
