Tantalex Lithium Resources Corp Announces Production Milestone in DRC’s TiTan Plant
Canadian company Tantalex Lithium Resources Corp, led by Eric Allard, has announced that its tin and tantalum plant, TiTan, based in the DRC, has produced its first batch of export-ready tin and tantalum concentrates.
A first batch of 10 tonnes of tin concentrates (SnO2) has been fully processed at its Manono mining site. Additionally, 2.5 tonnes of tantalum concentrates (Ta2O5) have also been produced.
All of TiTan’s production is sold under an operating agreement with AfriMet Resources Ag, a Swiss company based in Zug, founded by Hadley Natus in 2019, also the chairman of Tantalex, and part of the Vanomet group.
In November 2023, Swiss company Glencore and Tantalex Lithium entered into a $5 million marketing agreement covering 100% of the lithium production from the Manono project from the start of commercial production and throughout the mine’s lifespan.
