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.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Not stated.

Value
Not stated.

Duration
Production is scheduled for the second half of 2018.

Latest Developments
A plant location has been identified close to the V1/V2 pegmatite bodies.

The site layout and project infrastructure are being finalised and earthworks and civil works construction are scheduled to start during May.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
