Community benefit

When the Uis Tin Mine shut down in 1990 due to the global price drop in the price of tin, Uis was left with wide spread unemployment and poverty and a large part of the town’s population had to resort to small scale mining of semi precious stones for a living. The slow economy and lack of sustainable business nearly turned Uis into a Ghost town.

Then the father and son team from Namclay Brick and Pavers realised the potential of the old slime dams and the possibility of turning that into a top class quality brick suitable for the coastal region with it’s high salt content, in the same time rehabilitating the mine, creating job opportunities and stimulating the town’s economy.
