Lithium and Tantalum Infill Drill Programme Update
AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), an African technology metals mining company with a portfolio of mining and exploration assets in Namibia, announces the second batch of results for the lithium and tantalum drilling programme at the Company's flagship operation, the Uis Mine ("Uis").
The infill drilling programme is currently being executed over the V1/V2 pegmatite at Uis, with the aim of increasing the confidence in the existing lithium and tantalum Mineral Resource estimate over the deposit. The programme consists of approximately 50 holes. To date, 32 drill holes have been completed and are in the process of being analysed. Results for the first four holes were announced on 8 June 2022 - this announcement reports the assay results for the next five holes (Figure 1).
Highlights:
-- Significant pegmatite intersections include:
o 22 m at 0.153% Sn, 104 ppm Ta, and 1.18% Li(2) O within drill hole V1V2055, from 23 m to 45 m;
o 69 m at 0.178% Sn, 98 ppm Ta and 0.45 Li2O for hole V1V2061, from 98 m to 167 m;
o 52 m at 0.173% Sn, 86 ppm Ta, and 0.58% Li(2) O for drill hole V1V2064, from 135 m to 187m.
-- Pegmatite was intersected in all holes drilled, as predicted by the geological model.
Anthony Viljoen (CEO) commented: "These results confirm our understanding of the mineralisation at Uis, in particular the polymetallic nature of the V1/V2 pegmatite, which continues to show consistent tin, tantalum and lithium mineralisation. We are confident, following continued positive results, that we are on track to reaching our objective of upgrading our resource for Lithium and Tantalum for the V1/V2 pegmatite. This phase of our drill programme contains notable intersections of lithium and tantalum mineralisation, which supports our strategic plan to implement additional processing plant circuits by Q4 of this year (refer to announcement dated 6 April 2022).
We look forward to updating our mineral resource estimate and adding processing capabilities for multiple product revenue streams."
Exploration Programme
The infill drilling programme aims to upgrade the existing resource for lithium and tantalum in the measured and indicated categories for the 2019 JORC (2012) compliant MRE for Uis in 2019 (see announcement dated 16 September 2019). The pegmatite intersections of the reported holes complement the current geological model, confirming AfriTin's confidence in its geological model. The drill holes intersected the pegmatite where the V1 and V2 bodies have bifurcated into individual pegmatites. The dip angle of the pegmatites vary from 24 degrees to 48 degrees. All of the reported drill holes are vertically orientated with reported intersections representing apparent thickness. Some schistose xenoliths were intersected in the drill holes and the reported results provide actual pegmatite intersections excluding the schist interval(s).

The reported holes comprise drill core from diamond drilling; each drill hole was geologically and geotechnically logged before being cut in half and sampled. The samples were taken at approximately one-meter intervals. Sample analysis was undertaken by UIS Analytical Services, a certified independent laboratory, ICP-OES being utilised for major and minor elements and ICP-MS being utilised for the reporting of trace elements.
