AfriTin Mining Limited
("AfriTin" or the "Company")
Confirmation of Name Change
AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), an African technology metals mining company with a portfolio of mining and exploration assets in Namibia, announces that, further to its announcement of 5 January 2023, the Registrar of Companies in Guernsey has confirmed the name change from Afritin Mining Limited to Andrada Mining Limited ("Andrada"). Accordingly, t he change of name will take effect, and dealings under the new company name of Andrada Mining Limited (AIM:ATM), will commence from 8.00 a.m. on 11 January 2023.
As previously announced, the name Andrada reflects the Company's expanding lithium and tantalum resources alongside its existing tin production. The new name originates from José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, the Brazilian mineralogist and professor who first discovered petalite and spodumene, which are major lithium bearing minerals and a precursor to the identification of lithium. Management believes that the Uis licence could host a globally significant lithium resource.
The Company's ISIN will remain GG00BD95V148 and its trading mnemonic will remain ATM. The information required to be disclosed pursuant to AIM Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies can still be accessed on https://afritinmining.com/investor-centre/aim-rule-26/ . A new website address will be provided in due course.
Anthony Viljoen, CEO, commented : "I'm delighted to confirm the Company's change of name and we look forward to rebranding as Andrada Mining. The Company's potential lithium resource size in Namibia is extremely exciting, and the change of name reflects the importance of it within our growing production profile, beyond our existing tin operation. We look to the future with huge excitement as Andrada Mining plays its part in the energy transition."
