SHANGHAI, Oct 13 (SMM) – China's refined tin output rose on a month-on-month basis in September as a large-scale smelter in Yunnan increased production after maintenance in September.

 

SMM data showed that China produced 14,342 mt of refined tin in September, up 0.93% from August. Some tin plants in Yunnan and Jiangxi have carried out equipment maintenance, reducing some production. Mining operations and transportation were affected in Myanmar as the country experienced continued rainfall and pandemic over the recent months. Domestic tin supply was still tight and lower treatment charges (TCs) for tin ore have narrowed profits of smelters.

 

The tight supply of tin ore is unlikely to recover in October, while some enterprises will resume production from maintenance.

 

China's refined tin output is expected to come in at 14,500 mt in October.

Global Tech Giants Court SK Hynix with Investment, Financing Proposals for Memory Chips
As major global technology companies rush to buy memory chips, SK Hynix is being actively courted by these companies, which have proposed plans to invest in its new production lines and finance the purchase of expensive manufacturing equipment. According to six people familiar with the matter, the company's clients have presented multiple partnership proposals to the South Korean chipmaker, including investing in the construction of dedicated memory production lines. Three other people familiar with the matter said another proposal involves clients providing financing for equipment purchases, such as ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. These machines are used to etch circuits on wafers and are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The chipmaker is reportedly cautious about accepting financial commitments from clients, as such deals could make it beholden to specific buyers and force it to supply chips at lower prices in exchange for longer-term, more stable revenue guarantees.

Canadian exploration company Eloro Resources (TSX: ELO) announced that the tin resources at its Iska Iska polymetallic (silver-zinc-tin-gold) deposit in Bolivia have more than doubled. According to the company’s report, the tin content of the deposit has increased by 107.7% compared to the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). With total contained tin resources now reaching 290,000 metal tonnes at a grade of 0.03% Sn, it ranks as the fourth-largest tin resource in South America. Geologically, the tin resources are primarily concentrated in two key mineralized domains. The majority is located within the Polymetallic Domain 2 (containing 145,000 tonnes at 0.02% Sn) and the Tin Domain (containing 62,000 tonnes at 0.20% Sn). The company has also upgraded portions of the silver, zinc, and lead
