Aim-listed AfriTin Mining has produced the first tin concentrate at its flagship Uis mine, in Namibia.
This follows completion of the Phase 1 pilot plant in July.
AfriTin will now focus on ramping the plant up to its design capacity of 500 000 t/y of ore, which will produce about 60 t a month of tin concentrate by the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.
Moreover, AfriTin has concluded an offtake agreement with Thailand Smelting and Refining for tin concentrate produced at the Uis mine.
