BISIE TIN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
MAURITIUS – January 10, 2019 – Alphamin Resources C orp. (AFM: TSXV, “Alphamin ”, or the “Company ”) is
pleased to announce an update to the development status of its flagship tin project in the DRC.
The processing plant front-end crushing circuit has been successfully commissioned on 8 January 2019, on
schedule. This includes the primary crusher, two tertiary crushers and the sceening buildings . Ore is now being
fed through this circuit to create a stockpile with which the gravity circuit can be commissioned.
The process plant in its entirety is planned to be commissioned, on track with the original schedule by the end of
March 2019.
The underground mine capital footprint was complete d at the end of December 2018, two months ahead of
schedule. The run-of-mine ore production rate is being ramped up to approximately 1,000 tons per day to achieve
the targeted steady-state feed rate to the processing.
It is envisaged that the processing plant should ra mp up to its nameplate production capacity of tin c oncentrates
from April 2019 to the end of June 2019.
As was previously announced, Alphamin’s subsidiary ABM (Alphamin Bisie Mining SA) has drawn on the tot al
available debt package of US$80m and this together with the previous capital raisings are expected to fund the
project to production, bar any unforeseen events.
“To have achieved such significant progress to date on time and within budget for a project of this scale, in a
challenging environment, is a testament to the skill and dedication of our staff and contractors on the ground. We
look forward to the commencement of tin concentrate production in the near future and will keep the market
appraised of developments in this regard.” says Alphamin CEO, Boris Kamstra.
