AMN - NAMIBIA: Progress towards new plant at Uis Tin Project

AfriTin Mining Ltd has purchased crushing equipment and high-resolution satellite imagery for the Uis Tin Project in Namibia, as it begins work on the infrastructure design for a new plant.

The company bought crushing components for the plant's processing circuit. The equipment includes a jaw crusher, three cone crushers, stacking and conveyancing equipment, and electrical switchgear.

AfriTin has appointed Namibian engineering firm, Crushplant and Utility Spares CC, to match the equipment to the required specifications and relevant installation at the mine site.

The equipment purchased represents the entire comminution circuit for the phase one processing plant, from which the company said it estimates future annual production of 780 tonnes of tin concentrate.

The AfriTin engineering team has begun work on the infrastructure design for the plant. The scope of the team's work includes civil, structural and mechanical designs and drafting.

The planning work will be undertaken via the use of the high resolution satellite imagery purchased and topographical interpretation being prepared.

AfriTin CEO Anthony Viljoen said: "I am pleased to be in a position to provide such a significant and positive operational update for the company, at such an early stage in its development.

"The comminution circuit purchased through Crushplant provides a turnkey package for the front end crushing end of the circuit and, as a result, comprises at least 30% of the required plant procurement.

"The availability of the plant and suitably qualified engineers to prepare the plant for operations is a testament to Namibia being a favoured investment destination for the construction of large projects of this nature.

"The engineering team has also begun work procuring the ancillary infrastructure for the plant,that will make use of high-resolution satellite imagery to identify, design and begin construction of the plant site."
