The first phase of an expansion project at a tin mine in Namibia has been commissioned.

The project is expected to increase annual production at AfriTin Mining’s Uis mine, located in the Erongo region, from 780 tons to 1 200 tons, as reported by Mining Weekly.

The mining company is also conducting infill exploration to improve the geological confidence of the present lithium and tantalum mineral resource estimates at the site. In addition, AfriTin also plans modular expansion of the processing plant’s crushing and screening circuits, as well as the construction of stockpile for ore fines.
