(AFM:TSXV, APH:JSE AltX, “Alphamin” or the “Company”), a producer of 4% of the world’s mined tin from its high-grade operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is pleased to provide additional assay results on its Mpama South Exploration Drilling programme. HIGHLIGHTS Further high-grade intercepts1 from the Main Zone:- BGH033: 6.4 metres @ 7.32% Sn from 259.0 metres BGH035: 13.0 metres @ 2.96% Sn (incl. 5.3 metres @ 6.4% Sn) from 152.0 metres BGH039: 21.0 metres @ 2.20% Sn (incl. 8.0 metres @ 4.26% Sn) from 145.0 metres BGH045: 6.9 metres @ 3.24% Sn from 176.7 metres Further high-grade intercepts1 from the newly discovered footwall zone:- BGH037: 3.0 metres @ 3.81% Sn from 154.0 metres BGH038: 2.9 metres @ 5.22% Sn from 151.7 metres BGH045: 1.1 metres @ 31.55% Sn from 120.7 metres 10,000m of the planned 16,800m Diamond Drill programme completed (46 of the 70-hole programme) with independent laboratory assays received for 29 holes to date; Phase 3 drilling (~6,800m and 24 holes) commenced to test downdip and strike extension of the interpreted high-grade shoot Chief Executive Officer, Maritz Smith comments: “The Mpama South Prospect continues to deliver exceptional tin intercepts. Based on the first two batches of drill results, the continued presence and orientation of high-grade samples point to the potential for yet another high-grade deposit, some 750m south of our current operation. With the recent commencement of the deeper drilling phase at Mpama South, we believe we are heading into even more exciting times”. Mpama South Exploration Drilling Update Mpama South is a high-grade tin discovery, located 750m south of Alphamin’s operating Bisie mine. A small diamond drilling programme of sixteen (16) drillholes completed in 2016 recorded notable cassiterite intercepts in similar alteration styles to the Mpama North mine. Alphamin re-commenced its Mpama South diamond drilling exploration activities in December 2020 and completed the first two phases of drilling by the end of May for a total of 10,000 metres and forty-six (46) drillholes. Phase 3 for 6,800 metres and twenty-four (24) holes has already commenced for expected completion in August 2021. All three phases for ~16,800 metres are intended to form the basis of a Mineral Resource estima...
