Yong: A few new mines will be coming on line in 2020, causing an increase of ore available to tin smelters like MSC.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Smelting Corp
Bhd (MSC), the world’s third-largest refined tin producer, does not expect its output to fall this year even though the top two have flagged production cuts, its chief executive said.
Earlier this month, producers including the world’s top two – China’s Yunnan Tin and Indonesia’s PT Timah – said they would reduce production by around 30,000 tonnes this year - or about 8%of global supply - due to a recent slump in the metal’s price.
