Commodity demand in the electrical contact and battery materials markets - MIT
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 Yunnan
¡ Reduced exports from Myanmar
¡ 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
TIN MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
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
¡ Major tin demand comes from electronic solder, chemical and tin plate use

141 drill holes over V1 V2 pegmatites¡ Multiple mineralised pegmatites mapped
¡ Historical IMCOR drill data for V1 and V2 pegmatites has been validated by AfriTin’s Phase 1 exploration programme, allowing incorporation into geological modelling
¡ 141 drill holes along a 25m grid spacing utilised for high resolution modelling ¡ Phase 1 weighted averages used for pegmatite
intersections
¡ V1 and V2 pegmatite intersections occur at depth
¡ Drill data shows significant down dip thickening of the ore body compared to surface outcrop
¡ 3-D geological model completed and a JORC compliant resource declared¡ Utilised for block modelling and mine design

Globally significant maiden resource
¡ Drill results validated the historical exploration data generated by ISCOR subsidiary IMCOR, 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
¡ The maiden resource is comprised from only one of the 12 existing pits (covering 16 pegmatite bodies) at Uis, namely V1V2¡ Total tonnes of ore reported in the JORC compliant MRE for V1V2 pegmatite body alone is greater than that reported for the historic reserve estimate over 16 historic

¡ 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)
MINING
17
¡ Mining operations over the V1 and V2 pegmatites were established in May 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) of pegmatite at an average overburden stripping ratio of 1:1.5 to ensure exposure of ore in the long-term
¡ Mine design, at 0.5 Mtpa 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
¡ Mine design exploits outcropping pegmatites and excavations of the historical Uis mine
¡ Potential for fast production ramp-up

tonnes Ta
¡ Strong demand growth rate predicted:¡ Increases in major applications of capacitors
¡ Strong growth in the alloy additives industry
¡ Maintained growth in all other sectors
Forecast global consumption of tantalum by application, 2018-2028 (tonnes Ta) – Roskill
Forecast year-end tantalum pentoxide nominal prices, 2019-2028 (US$/kg Ta2O5) – Roskill
PETALITE MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
29
¡ Low-iron petalite utilised in the technical-grade lithium market ¡ Manufacturing of glass, ceramics, frits, glaze and
fibreglass
¡ Limited test work to date indicates that Uis petalite falls within commercial specification ranges
¡ Petalite demand driven by growth in the glass and ceramics industries ¡ Lithium demand in the glass and ceramics industries
forecast to increase to ~1.36 Mt of 4% Li2O petalite
concentrate by 2030 (~135 000 LCE (lithium carbonate equivalent))

UIS – ASSET HISTORY
31
Discovery of the asset.
Asset is acquired by Mr Angus Munro; Uis Tin Mining Co (SWA) 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 c. 100tph and commenced building the village of Uis.
Imcor enlarges the plant to c. 140tph producing c. 100-120 tpm
cassiterite.
Uis Tin Mine closes following the tin price
collapse in the mid-1980s.
SRK publishes a ‘LoM Plan Report for 1989-2063’*. These were historical estimates that were
not reported to any recognised minerals industry reporting code.
Greenhills (Bushveld subsidiary) purchases
85% stake from AfriTin Mining Namibia1.
1 Was renamed to AfriTin Mining Namibia in January 2019 (between 2014 and 2016 the entity was called Dawnmin Africa Investments)
