ZAAlphamin Resources, a Canadian and Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company, reported significant growth in its tin production and sales during the second quarter ending June 30. The company expects record EBITDA of $167 million, a 6% increase from the previous quarter, driven primarily by a 5% rise in tin prices. Production reached 5,013 tons of contained tin, aligning with annual targets, while sales hit 5,014 tons, marking the first time the company achieved a four-quarter rolling total of 20,000 tons. However, all-in sustained costs (AISC) rose 6% to $19,043 per ton due to increased off-mine expenses such as royalties, export duties, and marketing commissions, along with higher on-mine operating costs linked to rising fuel prices. Drilling activities at Mpama North and South mines yielded mixed results, with some holes encountering visible cassiterite mineralization.
