Govt officials endorse development of DRC tin project

Government officials from the North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have endorsed the development of Alphamin Resources’ 10 000 t/y Bisie tin project. Construction on the project is expected to begin in the first quarter of this year, with the mine to reach full production in 2019.   The provincial government has established a committee, comprising persons with high-level technical and specialised skills, to assist and guide Alphamin during the mine’s construction period and initial operations.   “The provincial government is committed to providing a favourable environment for private investment in a win-win partnership,” North Kivu Governor Julien Paluku Kahongya noted in a statement issued by Alphamin on Tuesday.
