Name of the Project
Uis Phase 2 expansion project.

Location
Erongo region, Namibia.

Project Owner/s
Critical raw materials producer Andrada Mining.

Project Description
The project proposes the construction of a second up to 100 t/h tin processing jig plant at Andrada’s Uis mine. The project will have the potential to process up to 40 000 t a month of ore at a potential recovery rate of 70%.

The plant will allow for the modular expansion of operations into proximal pegmatites without disrupting current production.

The plant will have the capacity to process a wide range of tin ore grades, comprising a three-stage primary crushing and screening circuit, a jigging section and shaking tables.

The output from the plant is expected to be the same as the tin concentrate produced from the existing processing plant. 

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
Andrada Mining entered into a $2.5-million secured funding facility from LC Abelheim as trustee of The Orange Trust in February 2025. The Orange Trust is Andrada’s largest shareholder, with 15.81% of the issued ordinary shares in the company.

Planned Start/End Date
Not stated.

Latest Developments
Andrada Mining has completed construction of the second processing, or jig, plant on time and within budget.

Commissioning of the jig plant is under way.

Tin output is expected to significantly increase through additional processing capacity created by the addition of the jig plant.

The modular design allows for scalable expansion while operating independently, ensuring uninterrupted production at the primary processing plant.

Actual operating parameters will be confirmed during the commissioning process.

Initial feedstock will be sourced from the Uis proximal pegmatites, with grades of between 0.14% and 0.3% tin, and existing stockpiles.

Andrada has also secured an ore supply agreement with Goantagab Mining to provide up to 20 000 t of ore at a grade of 1.5% tin as previously announced. 

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Not disclosed.
