Uis
Profitable Phase 1 processing plant
Profitable pilot plant in full operation. Nameplate production of 720tpa has been achieved and the plant is profitable on tin alone.
Significant by-product potential from lithium and tantalum and the Phase 2 expansion of tin concentrate production to 1300tpa makes this a dramatically scalable project with potential to also become a global lithium supplier.
Globally significant mineral resource estimate at Uis
- > 180 mineralized pegmatites mapped within 5 km of the current operation
- Same mineralogical composition – typical Uis pegmatites
- Near surface intersection of 67 m on W17 pegmatite
- Significant resource upside potential
