JAKARTA: Indonesia has commenced the construction of tin-processing facilities in Batam, Riau Islands, that will cost 1.2 trillion rupiah (US$74mil) to build and startup.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony last Friday was led by Deputy Investment and Downstream Minister Todotua Pasaribu, who noted that Indonesia held the world’s second-largest tin reserves.
