Producer
Alphamin Resources Corp.
Canadian-listed (TSXV: AFM, JSE: APH) mining company operating the Bisie tin mine in Mpama North, North Kivu Province, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. World's highest-grade tin deposit: 4.5% tin at Mpama North (vs. global average ~2%). Resources: 4.67 Mt ore @ 3.58% Sn = 167,300 tonnes tin. Produced 17,300 tonnes tin ore in 2024 (~6% global supply). CRITICAL DISRUPTION: Bisie mine suspended March 2025 as M23 rebels advanced to within 13km of the mine; phased resumption signaled April 2025 following insurgent withdrawal. Mine is in an active conflict zone — North Kivu is the epicenter of eastern DRC's multi-decade armed conflict.

Chokepoint2025
Alphamin's Bisie mine produces approximately 6% of global tin supply from a location in an active armed conflict zone in eastern DRC. The mine's March 2025 suspension when M23 rebels approached demonstrates that 6% of global tin supply is structurally exposed to armed insurgency at any moment. Tin is used in float glass manufacturing (for flat glass, automotive glass, and solar panels) and in electronics solder (for PCB assembly). A multi-week Bisie suspension simultaneously constrains tin available for glass manufacturers AND for electronics solder supply, in both cases from the same armed conflict 13 km away from the mine gate. Glass manufacturers and electronics manufacturers do not share a supply chain monitoring framework for conflict-zone tin disruptions. When tin prices rise on DRC news, flat glass production margins and electronics manufacturing margins are both affected -- by a Canadian-listed company's mine in a Congolese rebel war zone.

Alphamin Resources (Toronto, TSXV: AFM) acquired the Bisie tin deposit in North Kivu, DRC through years of exploration and permitting in one of the world's most dangerous mining jurisdictions. North Kivu is the epicenter of eastern DRC's multi-decade armed conflict involving the M23 rebel movement (backed by Rwanda), FDLR (Rwandan Hutu remnants), and dozens of smaller armed groups. The Bisie deposit was known to artisanal miners for years -- the same high-grade ore that makes it commercially viable also made it worth fighting over. Alphamin built a formal mine (camp, processing plant, airstrip) in terrain accessible only by air or limited road, and achieved world-class production rates at 4.5% tin grade -- the highest in the world -- from a location where mineral supply could be interrupted by armed groups at any time. The mine suspended operations in March 2025 when M23 rebels advanced to within 13 km of the facility; Alphamin was evacuating non-essential personnel as global tin prices rose on the supply concern. Phased resumption was signaled in April 2025 following insurgent withdrawal.
