ALPHAMIN TEMPORARILY CEASES MINING OPERATIONS
March 13 2025 - 9:19AM
Alphamin Resources Corp. (AFM:TSXV, APH:JSE AltX) (the “Company”)
announced today that its board of directors has made the difficult
decision to temporarily cease mining operations at the Company’s
Bisie tin mine in Walikale District, North Kivu Province of
east-central Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This decision
was made after insurgent militant groups have recently advanced
westward in the direction of the mine’s location in the DRC
occupying the towns of Nyabiondo on 9 March 2025, the capital of
the Osso-Banyungu sector located ~110km northwest of Goma followed
by Kashebere a further 13km west of Nyabiondo on 12 March 2025. The
safety of the Company’s employees and contractors remains its top
priority and cannot be assured at the present time. All operational
mining personnel are being evacuated from the mine site with only
essential personnel to remain for the care, maintenance and
security of the property. The Company is encouraged by the recent
announcement that direct peace talks on the conflict are scheduled
to be held in Angola on March 18, 2025. The Company will closely
monitor events as they progress with a view to moving personnel
back to the mine site and resuming operations when it believes it
can safely do so. The Company will provide further updates when
approriate.
The Company, majority owned by United States of
America (US) entities, has appointed a US firm to lobby for US
diplomatic intervention regarding these security threats. This
matter is progressing.
The Company announced on January 17, 2025 that
its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024 would be
released on or about March 14, 2025. The Company is evaluating the
impact of the temporary cessation of mining operations on these
financial disclosures and will not be in a position to release
these results on the timing previously planned but currently does
not anticipate that these filings will be materially delayed.
