London-listed Andrada Mining has completed construction of the second processing, or jig, plant at its flagship Uis mine, in Namibia, on time and within budget.

Commissioning of the jig plant will start in the final week of August.

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

“The completion of the jig plant on time and within budget is a smart, low-cost upgrade that will immediately boost Uis tin production on the completion of commissioning. The plant is a key milestone towards doubling production and positions Andrada well to capture the benefits of a robust and strengthening tin market,” says CEO Anthony Viljoen.

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

The jig plant is designed for a nameplate capacity of 80 t/h to 100 t/h, with potential to process up to 40 000 t a month of ore at a potential recovery rate of 70%.

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.
