What Yunnan Tin does

World's largest tin producer, mining and smelting tin plus copper, indium and other by-products in Yunnan.

Sells refined tin at prices that follow the Shanghai and London tin markets; copper, indium and other by-products add income from the same ore. Tin is used in solder for electronics, so demand tracks electronics output.

In one line: The world's Alcoa-equivalent for tin.
