SHANGHAI, Jun. 21(SMM) – Processing fees of tin concentrate fell further this past week due to supply tightness, SMM said.

WBMS: World Tin Still in Deficit after Output Jump January-May

Tin concentrate processing fees did not follow tin prices up. This is mainly because tin ore supplies from Burma tightened due to the monsoon season in the country, SMM explained.
