Tin production rises at DRC mine

Alphamin Resources reported a 7 percent increase in tin production at its Bisie mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in 2025, despite security challenges that led to a temporary suspension of operations. The company plans to further increase extraction volumes from this mine in 2026.

Third quarter output remains stable

On October 6 of the previous year, Alphamin Resources announced a production of 5,030 tons of tin at Bisie during the third quarter, a level stable compared to the previous quarter. The company reiterated its annual production target for this mine, which is the largest in the country and involves multiple interests, including the Congolese state and foreign investors.

Ownership structure of the mine

Bisie is operated by Alphamin Bisie Mining SA, a Congolese law company. Its capital is held by 84.14 percent by Alphamin Resources, 10.86 percent by the South African public company Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), and 5 percent by the Congolese state. These positions grant each of these entities economic rights in the operating company, particularly in terms of governance and dividend distribution.

Major shareholder change in 2025

The Emirati group International Resources Holding (IRH) became the majority shareholder of Alphamin Resources in July 2025. According to MarketScreener data as of October 28, 2026, approximately 51 percent of Alphamin Resources' capital is attributed to 2PointZero Group, of which IRH constitutes the mining branch.

Production growth and future goals

In 2025, the mine produced 17,324 tons of tin, an increase of 7 percent compared to the previous year. For 2026, Alphamin Resources aims for a production of 20,000 tons. According to the cumulative quarterly figures communicated by the company, the mine has already produced 15,069 tons in the first nine months of the year.

Long-term expansion plans

In the long term, Alphamin plans to increase its annual production to 25,000 tons, mainly through the exploitation of underground areas with higher grades. The realization of this objective will depend on the implementation of its mining plans and the evolution of operating conditions.
