Geological context

Tanzania's tin deposits sit within the Karagwe-Ankole Belt, one of Africa's most established cassiterite-bearing regions. Ore is predominantly extracted by artisanal and small-scale miners across Shinyanga, Geita, and Kagera before aggregation and processing.

Sourcing regions

Shinyanga, Tanzania Geita, Tanzania Kagera, Tanzania

Primary industrial applications

Electronics Solder

Tin-silver-copper, lead-free solder bars for electronic component manufacturing.

Tinplate

Corrosion-resistant coating for steel packaging and food-grade containers.

Component material in next-generation battery and energy storage technologies.

Chemical Alloys

Base material for a range of industrial tin-based chemical compounds.

Packaging & export logistics

1-Ton Big Bags

Standard format for concentrate shipments, moisture-sealed and palletized.

Container Loads

Full container loads (FCL) for larger offtake volumes.

Smelted Ingots

+90–99% purity ingots, cast and bundled for direct industrial buyers.

Every shipment is traceable to its point of origin. See Compliance & Traceability for the full chain-of-custody process.

Value Addition

How tin ore becomes ingot

Processed on-site through the Westfield facility, adding value to Great Lakes Region ore before export.

Step 01

Processing

Tin ore is crushed and washed to remove dust and sand, then separated from other minerals such as iron ore.

Step 02

Black Tin

Tin ore concentrate is smelted (heated up to 1300°C) to separate the metal from the remaining rock material, creating black tin - basically unpurified tin metal with 90–95% tin content.
