The study also highlighted that significant exploration upside remains with low risk, long mine life and excellent financials including an NPV of US$12.1m and an IRR of 54% CEO Anthony Viljoen commented

The DFS also coincides with the Company achieving its first full quarter of steady state production at the Phase 1 plant as a global tin prices reach a 10-year high…”
