Anthony Viljoen, CEO of AfriTin Mining Limited commented:

“AfriTin has seen a successful start to the 2022 Financial Year. We are delighted to release our first quarterly update for the year demonstrating that the Company is achieving its internal monthly production targets at our flagship Uis Tin Mine. These positive production results have coincided with 10-year high tin prices.

We are excited to commence the Phase 1 expansion. In addition, during this phase, we are hoping to unlock the exciting and significant lithium and tantalum by-product potential we have across our extensive resource base.

I look forward to presenting an exploration webcast on our current portfolio of Namibian assets together with our Exploration Manager, Tim Marais and Laurence Robb (non-executive director). We believe that the Damara Belt has huge unexplored potential to become a new technology metallogenic province of global significance.”
