Uis Mine

Uis Mine is a tin, lithium and tantalum mining operation located in the Erongo region of Namibia. The mine is situated near the Brandberg West area and has historically been one of the world's significant tin producers. It is currently operated by Andrada Mining through its subsidiary Uis Tin Mining. The facility extracts tin, lithium, tantalum and other minerals from its ore body, with tin concentrate typically sold to processors such as Thailand Smelting & Refining. The mine's strategic importance lies in its polymetallic resource base, which includes battery metals such as lithium alongside traditional commodities. Uis Mine has undergone several phases of development and ownership changes throughout its operational history. The operation contributes to Namibia's mining sector and the global supply chain for technology metals. Infrastructure at the site includes processing facilities and mining equipment suited to the geological characteristics of the deposit. The mine's location in Erongo province positions it within one of Namibia's key mining regions.

Askari reports high-grade trenching results at Uis project

ASX-listed Askari Metals has reported Phase I trenching assay results from the K9 pegmatite target at its Uis project, in Namibia, confirming extensive mineralisation across tin, lithium, tantalum, rubidium and caesium over a 950 m strike. The company's licence sits immediately south-west of Andrada Mining's Uis mine, which hosts a mineral resource estimate of 77.51-million tonnes at 0.79% lithium oxide, 0.15% tin and 82 ppm tantalum, and Askari plans reverse circulation and diamond drilling in the second half of this year to test the scale and continuity of the K9 system.

Andrada secures funding for Uis expansion and completes Lithium Ridge drilling

Andrada Mining has secured conditional ten-year loan facilities totalling N$98-million from Bank Windhoek and the Development Bank of Namibia for its Uis Tin Mining Company subsidiary, complementing an $11-million equity raise completed in April to support ore sorter integration, additional crushing capacity and accelerated stripping at the Uis mine. The company has also completed an expanded 16 500 m diamond drilling programme at its Lithium Ridge project in partnership with SQM, with assay results from 22 holes confirming consistent high-grade lithium of up to 3.02% lithium oxide over 5 m.

European Investment Bank backs Uis lithium feasibility study

Andrada's Uis Tin Mining Company has entered into a cooperation agreement with the European Investment Bank to accelerate the feasibility study for the Uis lithium expansion project, with EU-funded technical and project development assistance valued at up to €2-million intended to advance the project to bankable feasibility level. The project targets production of 50 000 t/y of petalite concentrate by reprocessing waste material from the existing tin and tantalum concentrator for lithium enrichment.
