Supply Shortage
- Tin market has faced a consistent supply deficit over recent years, forecast toremain in deficit until 2022. Shortages due to:
- Covid-19production cuts
- Production cutsfrom several Chinese smelters
- Closure of Chinese production plants in Yunnan
- Reduced exports from Myanmar, uncertainty surroundingMyanmar coup
- Environmental and regulatoryhurdles in Indonesia
- Depleting resources and grades from Latin America supply
- Ample opportunities for growth in the market which will serve to
exacerbate the existing demand-supply gap | 7 |
TIN MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
- International Tin Association reporting demand could triple by 2050
- The tin price has recovered topre-COVID-19 levels, topping US$24 000/t - the highest since 2014
- Semiconductor industry is one of the biggest consumers of solder
- Global demand for semiconductors has a significant effect on the tin price due to the development of smart devices.
- Demand for semiconductors set to increase with the uptake in the5G market, necessitating the development of new technology
Future Trends
- Increases in tin demand have historically coincided with technological advances
- Refined tin consumption ofc.340-370ktpa makes it a relatively small market

GEOLOGICAL MODEL
Multiple mineralised pegmatites mapped | 141 drill holes over V1 V2 pegmatites |
- Historical IMCOR drill data for V1 and V2 pegmatites has been validated by AfriTin's Phase 1 exploration programme, allowing incorporation into geological modelling
- 141 drill holes along a 25m grid spacing utilised for high resolution modelling
- Phase 1 weighted averages used for pegmatite intersections
- V1 and V2 pegmatite intersections occur at depth
- Drill data shows significant down dip thickening of the ore body compared to surface outcrop
- 3-Dgeological model completed and a JORC compliant resource declared
- Utilised for block modelling and mine design
15
UIS JORC-COMPLIANT MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
Globally significant maiden resource
- Drill results validated the historical exploration data generated by ISCOR subsidiary IMCOR, allowing an additional 141 drill holes to be incorporated into the mineral resource estimate
- Ancillary elements analysed during the drilling campaign confirmed Ta and Liby-product potential
- The ancillary elements reported as part of the inferred mineral resource as the minerals were not sampled for in the historical ISCOR data
- The maiden resource is comprised from only one of the 12 existing pits (covering 16 pegmatite bodies) at Uis, namely V1V2
- Total tonnes of ore reported in the JORC compliant MRE for V1V2 pegmatite body alone is greater than that reported for the historic reserve estimate over 16 historic pegmatite bodies

EXPLORATION UPSIDE
- Concurrent exploration programmes are targeting higher grade pegmatites with low stripping ratios
- Regional mapping programme completed on surrounding pegmatites
- Visual confirmation of cassiterite mineralisation for over180 pegmatites within 5kmof processing plant
- Detailed mapping programme identified higher grade greisenised areas within mineralised pegmatites
- Ore bodies are up to 80m thick and over 1km along strike
- 67-meterintersection of the W17 pegmatite, south of mining area, displayed visible cassiterite grains over the entire intersection
- Historical pits mined on outcropping pegmatite, over 12 existing pits, these comprise historical
SRK reserves (1989)

MINING
- Mining operations over the V1 and V2 pegmatites were established in May 2019
- Conventional open pit mining methods, with a truck and excavator mobile equipment combination utilised
- The combined mine plan delivers 2.75 million tonnes (represents 3% of the historical resource) of pegmatite at an average overburden stripping ratio of 1:1.5 to ensure exposure of ore in thelong-term
- Mine design, at 0.5 Mtpa RoM, provides sufficient inventory to supply Phase 1 processing plant with ore for more than 5 years, with the V1 and V2 pegmatite ore bodies supporting mining production rates far beyond the current requirements
- Mine design exploits outcropping pegmatites and excavations of the historical Uis mine

METALLURGY
- Coarse grained cassiterite crystals allowing for easy liberation through crushing
- Efficientpre-concentration with dense medium separation (DMS) produces 80% waste rejection at high recoveries
- Large material density differentials (cassiterite > 5.0 g/cm3, gangue 2.7 g/cm3) allowing for efficient dense medium and gravity separation
- Tantalum mineral associated with the tin concentrate
- Preliminary lithium test work indicates potential for lithiumby-product. Further test work planned
- Plant design targets:
- Sn recoveries >60% at concentrate grades of 60% Sn
- Ta recoveries >15% at a concentrate grade of 22% Ta
- Li recoveries >28% at a concentrate grade of 4% Li2O

Power supply
Formal (10 year) supply agreement concluded with Namibia Power Corporation:
Provides for the full on-site power requirements for Phase 1 mining and processing facility from the national grid
AfriTin constructed its own substation to transform the supply to medium voltage (11 kV) and installed a miniature substation to distribute power at 400 V in the processing plant
Significantly more cost effective than diesel generated power | |
Supply voltage of 66 kV | |
Supply capacity of 1.5MVA | |
Diesel generators currently in place to serve as backup power to the grid | |
Water supply | |
