Andrada Mining has reported growth in its Namibian operations, focusing on both tin production and lithium exploration.

In the first half of the 2027 financial year, the company saw a 13% increase in contained tin production at its Uis mine, reaching 576 tonnes. This growth was attributed to improved plant performance and higher feed grades. To support future expansion, the company secured NAD98 million in funding for operational upgrades, including a new ore-sorting circuit intended to increase annual tin concentrate production by 50% to 70%.

Simultaneously, exploration at the Lithium Ridge Project has yielded high-grade lithium oxide results, with drill holes intersecting up to 2.04% Li₂O. The drilling also identified tin and tantalum mineralisation alongside the lithium, which the company suggests could improve project economics following further testing.
