PROJECTS
TiTan 1
MANONO REGION, DRC
Tantalex Lithium Resources is advancing operations in the Manono region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a geologically rich area known for its high-grade tinband tantalum alluvial deposits.
Project Highlights
- ✅ Location: Processing plant situated on Tantalex’s License 12447, covering an alluvial-rich zone with high concentrations of tin and tantalum.
- ✅ Operational Status: Plant construction completed, with operations successfully launched following a commissioning and testing phase in late 2024.
- ✅ Throughput Capacity: The plant is on track to reach its nameplate capacity of 100 tonnes per hour (TPH) by Q2 2025.
- ✅ Permitting: The project is fully permitted, with the Mining License granted in October 2022.
Strategic Partnerships
- 🤝 In Q1 2025, Tantalex finalized a partnership with MinMet Projects (South Africa) to:
- Provide ongoing engineering support
- Lead plant upgrade planning
- Ensure rapid supply of critical equipment and spares
- 🤝 Active negotiations are underway with a specialist African contract mining firm to:
- Oversee mining operations
- Supply yellow equipment and trained personnel
- Support all drilling programs for tin, tantalum, and lithium exploration

PROPOSED TIN & TANTALUM PROCESSING PLANT – TITAN ZONE, MANONO
MinMet Projects (MMP) has presented a comprehensive plan for the development of a new Tin and Tantalum processing plant, strategically located adjacent to the Titan site in the Manono region.
Key Features & Strategic Advantages
- ⚙️ Innovative Wet Feed System: The proposed plant will incorporate a wet feed front-end system, specifically designed to improve throughput and efficiency when processing clay-rich materials. This approach has been successfully implemented by MMP in similar operations in Angola.
- 🤝 Cost Synergies Across Titan Sites: With access to existing infrastructure, personnel, and logistics, the new facility is expected to create economies of scale, reducing overall production costs across Titan 1 and Titan 2.
Expected Production Metrics
Based on test work and projected feed rates, the following run-of-mine (ROM) throughput and recovery rates are estimated:
|
Throughput (t/month) |
Tin Recovery (Sn) | Tantalum Recovery (Ta) |
|---|---|---|
| Max: 52,000 t/m | ~109 t/m | ~31 t/m |
| Min: 36,400 t/m | ~76 t/m | ~21 t/m |
- Estimated ROM Grades: Sn – 0.21% | Ta – 0.06%
Timeline & Budget
- 🤝 Estimated Capital Cost: USD $3.5–4 million, delivered to site.
- 🤝 Target for First Production: Q1 2026, supported through ongoing partner and investor engagement.
