Tin Exploration And Mining
Project Details
Project Name: Tin Exploration & Mining
Location: Busanza Sub county, Kisoro District
Implementing Agency: Uganda National Mining Company
Product: Tin Cassiterite
Mineral Resource Estimate
The estimated Tin deposit is at 750,000 tonnes of ore with an average grade of 1.3 kg/tonne (0.13%)
Project Cost Estimate:
USD 1.5 million
Project Description
The project seeks to unlock the potential of tin-bearing deposits in the region, supporting the country’s drive toward mineral value addition, industrialization, and economic diversification.
The project area lies within a geologically favourable zone known for cassiterite mineralization, associated with granitic and pegmatitic formations of the Kigezi–Kabale–Kisoro metallogenic belt. Preliminary geological surveys and artisanal mining activities have confirmed the presence of significant tin occurrences, warranting detailed exploration to quantify reserves and assess commercial viability.
The exploration area covers an area of 581.87 hectares (~5.8km ), located along the northwest shore of Lake Mutanda in the parishes of Rutaka and Buhozi, Kirundo and Busanza Sub counties, Kisoro District.
Proposed financing mode:
JV
