Alphamin Resources (AFM) offers rare exposure to a metal that both Rio Tinto and MIT regard as the most likely to benefit from the electrification of the world economy. Having successfully ramped up its Mpama North mine at Bisie in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to full production at a time when the tin price was simultaneously enjoying one of its biggest bull markets in decades, AFM is already net debt free and making distributions to shareholders.
