African tin miner AfriTin Mining’s Uis project, in Namibia, maintained a production level above its steady-state target during the second quarter of its 2022 financial year, surpassing the targeted 180 t of tin concentrate by producing 185 t, containing 113 t of tin metal.

A strong operational performance during the quarter ended August 31, was supported by a 9.9% increase in processing plant throughput and a 10.2% improvement in tin recovery.

Implementation of the Uis Phase 1 expansion project started during the quarter and also contributed positively. It is expected to increase tin concentrate production by 67%.
