SHANGHAI, Mar 8 (SMM) – China's refined tin output stood at 11,829 mt in February, down 25.45% on month.
Most smelters stopped production and had a holiday during the CNY holiday in February, while some enterprises in Yunnan, Inner Mongolia and Zhejiang kept production, and some smelters in Jiangxi and Guangdong even stopped production and resumed production until early March, so the refined tin output in February showed a large decline month on month. Some smelters have not resumed normal production in March due to equipment maintenance, slow return of workers and other factors, and it is expected that the output will be slightly affected. China's refined tin output is expected to increase to 15,000 mt in March.
