Yunnan Tin’s production recovery boosts Jan tin output in China

SHANGHAI, Feb 15 (SMM) – China’s tin output expanded 3.5% from December to 12,443 mt in January, supported by full production recovery at Yunnan Tin Group, showed an SMM survey.

The tin giant’s recovery also offset the production cuts at some producers who suspended for the Lunar New Year holiday.

Affacted by the holidays, output of tin in China is expected to fall to 12,000 mt in February.

Correction: An earlier version of this report misstated the output figures for January and February.
