World-Class Tin Projects with Global Impact

First Tin’s Australian and German tin assets have a clear value-accretive path to producing up to 10,000 tonnes of tin annually. With over 309,000t of contained tin, we have the world’s 4th largest undeveloped tin resources, outside China.

Both assets are ideally located in conflict-free OECD jurisdictions with established infrastructure and regulatory frameworks from a long history of mining. With established reserves and simple mineralogy, these projects offer a quick route to production, backed by active licenses.

But we care about more than just strategic positioning. We are committed to sustainable, professional, responsible and regulated mining, focused on safety and minimising our footprint, to leave a positive legacy. Our mission is to become a leading global supplier of sustainable tin, meeting the needs of the clean energy, electrification, and technology markets for this critical metal.

Low-cost, value-accretive path of up to 10,000 tonnes of tin per annum

First Tin’s German and Australian tin assets are ideally located to deliver sustainable and conflict-free tin production in the future. Together the assets represent the 5th largest undeveloped tin reserve globally, outside Russia, Kazakhstan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Both assets are located in low-risk, conflict-free jurisdictions and are located near good infrastructure, contributing to the very low projected start-up capex projected for each. Established reserves and simple mineralogy create a quick path to production and both assets also have active mining licenses granted over them.

First Tin’s German and Australian tin assets are ideally located to deliver sustainable and conflict-free tin production in the future. First Tin is committed to best-in-class environmental responsibility with a ‘leave no trace’ philosophy including using low carbon and low waste production methods.

Our aim is become a leading global tin producer that will supply fully traceable and verifiable tin units into fast-growth global industries which have a high requirement for this critical metal.

Taronga – Australia

Established Tin Resource in Historic Mining Region on Track for Development

Acquired in 2022, our Taronga project is located 7km northwest of Emmaville, a historic tin and gem town in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. It lies within a historical tin mining area, with mining, exploration and prospecting dating back to the 1870s and is well positioned to potentially be the world’s next new tin mine.

Tellerhäuser – Germany

Leveraging History and Infrastructure for Cost-Effective Mining

Tellerhäuser is located in Saxony’s historic tin district and forms part of our Rittersgrün Mining Licence, valid until 2070. It is one of the most advanced undeveloped tin projects in the world. The Tellerhäuser tin project consists of the Hämmerlein, Dreiberg and Zweibach resources.

The site includes a former GDR mine, and ongoing development is backed by strong technical fundamentals, a polymetallic resource offering by-product credits, and proximity to existing infrastructure, offering a cost-effective route to production.

Tellerhäuser – Germany

Existing infrastructure keeps capital cost low

Located within a tin district in Saxony, this asset is a former East German mine with good conditions underground.

The Tellerhäuser project forms part of the Rittersgrün license and is one of the world’s most advanced tin deposits. The asset includes a former GDR mine and has an exceptionally long history of mining. An active Mining Licence is already in place until 30 June 2070 for the extraction of mineral resources.

Gottesberg – Germany

Unlocking Processing Potential: A Key Satellite Orebody to Support Tellerhäuser

Gottesberg sits on the western edge of the Eibenstock intrusive complex approximately 25km west of Tellehäuser.  It has a JORC 2012 Resource Estimate of 6.8Mt at 0.49% tin for 33,000 tonnes of contained tin.

Gottesberg – Germany

Possible satellite orebody development for processing at Tellerhäuser

Gottesberg is a historical project of global significance.

Geologically, the Gottesberg tin deposit is located at the western edge of the Eibenstock intrusive complex about 3 km from the western contact of the granite massif with the adjacent schist rocks.

Auersberg – Germany

Exploration Goldmine, Ready for Discovery

Adjoining our Tellerhäuser and Gottesberg licences, Auersberg covers 175.7 km² and hosts the largest tin-in-sediment anomaly in Saxony.

This licence presents a compelling opportunity for new discoveries and value creation, especially as part of our now continuous 237.8 km² landholding in the region.

Auersberg – Germany

Saxony’s largest tin anomally in stream sediments, immense exploration potential

Auersberg is the largest tin in stream sediment anomaly in Saxony. Its license area (175.7km²) adjoins Tellerhäuser and Gottesberg licenses, creating 237.8km² of continuous tenure for regional exploration.

The area has had numerous historical tin workings but practically no modern exploration.

Taronga – Australia

Simple metallurgy, supportive government, freehold land ownership

Taronga was acquired in 2022 and benefits from over one century of development, including extensive drilling, tunnelling, and mining.

Like with Tellerhäuser, Taronga is surrounded by excellent existing infrastructure and abundant underexplored tin showings, providing major exploration upside potential. Significant exploration work was undertaken by BHP in 1933, 1958, and 1964, and by the Newmont Joint Venture from 1979 to 1983.
