The mapping confirmed that V1 has a strike length at surface of around 950 metres, while it was revealed at V2's centre is much thicker than initial investigations had suggested, as well as revealing a possible structural control. There is also mineralisation throughout the unmined extensions of the V1 and V2 bodies.
The 3D geological model will be used to create a block model from which a provisional mine production plan will be produced. The estimated run of mine feed to the plant is expected at 500,000 tonnes per year.
"We are very pleased with the results of the geological work recently completed at Uis, as this supports the detailed work that was contained in the historical SRK report that produced a 70 year life of mine plan. We believe the results provide a solid foundation on which AfriTin can base its mining programme, to resume early production at what was once the biggest hard rock tin mine in the world," said Chief Executive Officer Anthony Viljoen.
