President Museveni launches Uganda’s first tin refinery

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has launched Uganda's first tin refining plant in Ruti, Mbarara City.
The facility is owned by Woodcross Resources, a company which is composed of a mining division focused on the exploration, development and operation of mining licences in Uganda, a commercial-scale tin refinery located in Mbarara ; and a mineral trading division, purchasing concentrate from audited mining sites across the Great Lakes Region of East Africa.
Tin is a type of mineral ore that contains tin, a soft, malleable, silvery-white metal. Tin is commonly used in various applications, including as a coating for other metals to prevent corrosion, in the production of solders, as a component in electronics, and in the manufacturing of tin cans.
