M arket overview
¡
Global tin market anticipated to be valued at US$8.23bn in 2023, robust long-term fundamentals
¡
M arket is mature, well established, and highly consolidated
¡
Tin is predicted to be the metal most positively impacted by the development of future technologies and ‘the Internet of Things’
¡
Including advanced energy-generation and energy-storage devices
¡
Tin, tied with copper is the best LM E performer in the first half
Refined tin demand currently outpaces supply (000t) - ITA
Salt PGM … Zinc Niobi… Graph… Vana… Tungs… Gold Nickel Silver Cobalt Lithium Tin
AV/ EV Robotics Renewables Oil & Gas Energy Storage IT Other
Commodity demand in the electrical contact and battery materials markets - M IT
Supply Shortage
¡
Tin market has faced a consistent supply deficit over recent years, forecast to remain in deficit until 2022. Shortages due to:
¡
Production cuts from several Chinese smelters
¡
Closure of Chinese production plants in Y unnan
¡
Reduced exports from M yanmar
¡
Environmental and regulatory hurdles in Indonesia
¡
Depleting resources and grades from Latin America supply
¡
Ample opportunities for growth in the market which will serve to exacerbate the existing demand-supply gap
8
¡
Semiconductor industry one of the biggest consumers of solder
¡
Global demand for semiconductors has a significant effect on the tin price due to the development of smart devices.
¡
Demand for semiconductors set to increase with the uptake in the 5G market, necessitating the development of new technology
¡
International Tin Association reporting demand could triple by 2050
¡
The ITA anticipates the tin price to recover to pre-COVID levels of ~US$19 000/ t
Future Trends
¡
Increases in tin demand have historically coincided with technological advances
¡
Refined tin consumption of c.340-370ktpa makes it a relatively small market
¡
M ajor tin demand comes from electronic solder, chemical and tin plate use

Globally significant maiden resource
¡
Drill results validated the historical exploration data generated by ISCOR subsidiary IM COR, allowing an additional 141 drill holes to be incorporated into the mineral resource estimate

Ancillary elements analysed during the drilling campaign confirmed Ta and Li by-product potential
¡
The ancillary elements reported as part of the inferred mineral resource as the minerals were not sampled for in the historical ISCOR data

Concurrent exploration programmes are targeting higher grade pegmatites with low stripping ratios
¡
Regional mapping programme completed on surrounding pegmatites
¡
Visual confirmation of cassiterite mineralisation for over 180 pegmatites within 5km of processing plant
¡
Detailed mapping programme identified higher grade greisenised areas within mineralised pegmatites
¡
Ore bodies are up to 80m thick and over 1km along strike
¡
67-meter intersection of the W17 pegmatite, south of mining area, displayed visible cassiterite grains over the entire intersection
¡
Historical pits mined on outcropping pegmatite, over 12 existing pits, these comprise historical SRK reserves (1989)
17
¡
M ining operations over the V1 and V2 pegmatites were established in M ay 2019
¡
Conventional open pit mining methods, with a truck and excavator mobile equipment combination utilised
¡
The combined mine plan delivers 2.75 million tonnes (represents 3% of the historical resource)
ratio of 1:1.5 to ensure exposure of ore in the long-term
¡
M ine design, at 0.5 M tpa RoM , provides sufficient inventory to supply Phase 1 processing plant with ore for more than 5 years., with the V1 and V2 pegmatite ore bodies supporting mining production rates far beyond the current requirements
¡
M ine design exploits outcropping pegmatites and excavations of the historical Uis mine

Power supply
¡
Formal (10 year) supply agreement concluded with Namibia Power Corporation:
§
Provides for the full on-site power requirements for Phase 1 mining and processing facility from the national grid
§
AfriTin constructed its own substation to transform the supply to medium voltage (11 kV) and installed a miniature substation to distribute power at 400 V in the processing plant
§
Significantly more cost effective than diesel generated power ¡
Supply voltage of 66 kV
¡
Supply capacity of 1.5M VA
¡
Diesel generators currently in place to serve as backup power to the grid
¡
Water supply
¡
Geohydrological study, water drilling and test pumping completed
¡
Process water requirements are supplied from well fields and open-pit lake areas in the surrounding mining area
¡
AfriTin is fully permitted for water abstraction from boreholes (groundwater not potable but is suitable for use as plant water)

31 Discovery of the asset. Asset is acquired by Mr Angus Munro; Uis Tin Mining Co (SW A) is established and
large-scale mining commences. IMCOR acquires the asset and installs a c. 35tph tin recovery plant to produce cassiterite
concentrate.
IMCOR enlarges the plant to
building the village of Uis.
Imcor enlarges the plant to c.
140tph producing c. 100-120 tpm cassiterite.
