Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Standard Bank Namibia\u2019s Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) division has confirmed a five-year agreement with AfriTin Mining. The deal enables the Uis-based mine to fund the phase 1 extension of its processing plant, increasing output by 67% from 720 to 1200 tons per year (tpa). The phase 1 extension is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Standard Bank has committed to finance an envisaged phase 2 extension, increasing production to 1 300 tpa. AfriTin says that lithium and tantalum are important by-products of its operations and positions the mine as a potential global supplier of these minerals. The bank will also provide AfriTin with a guarantee to NamPower as a deposit for the supply of electrical power to the mine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis deal gives us the opportunity to enable the creation of more jobs and reviving an economy of a town with around 4 000 inhabitants,\u2019\u2019 said Nelson Lucas, Head of Corporate and Investment Banking at Standard Bank. \u201cIn line with our purpose \u2018Namibia is our home, we drive her growth\u2019, we take pride in creating value and improving the lives of Namibians through this loan.\u201d<\/p>\n

London Stock Exchange-listed AfriTin is a mining company with assets in different African countries. Its pilot plant in Uis reached a nameplate capacity of 720 tpa last year, triggering the current expansion plans. Demand for tin, traditionally used in packaging and batteries, is on the rise given its application in semi conductors and circuits for the growing electronics industry, and the global rollout of 5G networks.<\/p>\n

Standard Bank recently closed several high-profile investment banking deals in mining, including the financing of Debmarine\u2019s latest and most advanced diamond mining vessel. \u201cThe bank leverages superior mining and metals sector expertise with a well-established presence across Africa,\u201d said Lucas. \u201cWe also connect primary producers in Africa with large global markets, leveraging off our institutional relationship with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). Our multi-disciplinary expert teams assist with identifying opportunities and navigate risks and challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucas added: \u201cThe mining industry\u2019s shift towards a greener, more sustainable and more community-orientated business model is accelerating as mining groups seek to maintain their social licence to operate and position themselves for long-term growth. The continued focus on climate change and on the wellbeing of local communities means that many mining groups have responded by accelerating the reduction of carbon emissions and addressing social issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognise that this transition is an ongoing process that many of our clients have undertaken to meet regulatory, legislative and societal needs. Standard Bank is well-positioned to provide them with specialist technical financial expertise required to operate in the mining and commodities industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to this hallmark financing deal, AfriTin also just completed its dual-listing on the Namibia Stock Exchange which will enable local entities and individuals to invest in this emerging African tech metals company.<\/p>\n
