(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 announce additional high-grade assay results on its Mpama South Exploration Drilling program as well as the commencement of Life of Mine extension drilling at its high-grade Mpama North mine. HIGHLIGHTS Further high-grade intercepts1 from the Main Zone at Mpama South received, including: BGH046: 10.8 metres @ 2.86% Sn from 195.2 metres BGH051: 5.3 metres @ 4.00% Sn from 164.2 metres BGH046: 2.6 metres @ 7.17% Sn from 218.0 metres BGH053: 10.6 metres @ 2.77% Sn from 198.9 metres Further high-grade intercept1 from the newly discovered footwall zone at Mpama South received, including: BGH053: 3.2 metres @ 9.59% Sn from 173.7 metres 12,300m of the planned 16,800m Diamond Drill program completed at Mpama South (52 of the 70-hole program) with independent laboratory assays received for 39 holes to date Commenced drilling the 15,350m diamond drill program on Mpama North which targets down dip extension of the already operating mine Chief Executive Officer, Maritz Smith, comments: “We are pleased to have reached this milestone of starting the long-awaited extension drilling on our high-grade Mpama North mine. The life of mine extension possibilities are highly positive and we look forward to the results.

Mpama South Exploration Drilling Update Mpama South is a high-grade tin discovery, located 750m south of Alphamin’s operating Mpama North mine. A small diamond drilling program of sixteen (16) drillholes completed in 2016 recorded notable cassiterite intercepts in similar alteration styles to the Mpama North mine. Alphamin re-commenc...
