The visit provided an opportunity to explore a vital yet often underrepresented stage in the cassiterite supply chain — tin smelting and production.

Educating on Responsible Mineral Processing
During the visit, we shared key insights into:

  • the tin smelting process and production stages,
  • the challenges surrounding Critical Raw Materials (CRM),
  • our approach to traceability and supply chain transparency in CAHRA (Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas).

As Rwanda’s only tin smelter, LuNa Smelter showcased its commitment to sustainable operations and responsible sourcing practices — ensuring traceability from mine to metal.

Thank You for an Engaging Exchange
We extend our sincere thanks to all participants for their enthusiasm and thought-provoking discussions. We hope this visit offered valuable knowledge and a deeper understanding of sustainable and responsible mineral supply chains.
