Tin Ore

Tin was first mined in Malaysia in the 1820s and the country became the world’s largest tin producer by the end of the nineteenth century. Malaysia maintained this position until the mid-1980s supplying over half of the world’s tin before prices dropped by 50 percent and ruined the local industry. Nonetheless, Malaysia is still one of top tin ore producers in the world. In fact, the country still has a huge depository of tin sitting in the Perak state.

​

Our company has an almost exclusive access to the tin ore stocks and supplies from mines in the state. The purity of tin ore from these mines range from standard Grade A (99.85% Sn) to premium grade electrolytic tin (99.99% Sn). The principal tin mineral is cassiterite or tinstone (SnO2) which contains 78.8% tin.
