Peruvian refined tin producer Minsur reported that its Pisco smelter in Peru produced 7,034 mt of refined tin in Q2 2026, down 1% YoY. Cumulative H1 refined tin production was 15,349 mt, down 2% YoY. The company attributed the slight decline in tin production to lower head grade at the smelter (a strategic adjustment to maximize recovery), partially offset by higher throughput at the Pisco smelter. By project, the San Rafael underground mine produced 7,359 mt of tin-in-concentrate in Q2, up 14% YoY, with H1 cumulative output of 13,455 mt, up 6% YoY; B2 tailings production rose 11% YoY to 2,152 mt in Q2, with H1 cumulative output of 4,049 mt, up 7% YoY. Total tin-in-concentrate production in Q2 rose 13% YoY to 9,511 mt, with H1 cumulative output of 17,504 mt, up 6% YoY. The head grade at the San Rafael mine in Q2 improved 13% to 2.88% Sn, with H1 average head grade of 2.64% Sn, up 8% YoY. Minsur noted that the ore sorting system processed more low-margin ore.

Australian tin miner Metals X Limited (ASX: MLX) released its Q2 2026 operational report. The report showed that the company’s Renison tin mine produced 2,809 tonnes of tin metal in tin concentrates in Q2, down approximately 2.7% QoQ from 2,887 tonnes in Q1. On the production side, ore mined totaled 200,300 tonnes in Q2, down 6.11% QoQ, mainly due to limited availability of loaders, trucks, and hoists, along with stope sequencing delays. The ore grade mined was 1.58% Sn, slightly lower than the 1.63% in Q1. Ore milled reached 183,800 tonnes, up 14.60% QoQ, with mill head grade declining to 1.95% Sn (Q1: 2.24% Sn), and the processing recovery rate was 78.55% (Q1: 80.35%). For the Renison mineral resource update, total resources increased to 21.8 million tonnes at a grade of 1.38% tin, containing 300,300 tonnes of tin. Measured and Indicated tin content rose 7% to 264,100 tonnes. The mine life plan and ore reserve update are expected to be completed in Q3.
