Tin Stocks

Tin is a critical industrial metal whose largest use is solder for electronics. It also connects solar cells and electrical systems, while battery and other energy applications remain emerging areas of research.

This list covers tin mining stocks and integrated smelters: publicly traded companies where tin is a material operating business or the flagship or major named development asset. It separates mine production from refined-metal output and distinguishes established tin miners from pre-production developers and explorers.

At a glance

  • Solder is tin's largest use at 51% of consumption in the International Tin Association's 2023 survey, so tin demand tracks electronics and solar-cell ribbon more closely than battery capacity.
  • The biggest refiner is not the biggest miner: Yunnan Tin refined 85,000 tonnes in 2024 against Minsur's 36,300, because smelters also run third-party and recycled feed.
  • The 14 companies here span $21B in combined value, from Yunnan Tin Company (000960.SZ) at $9.4B down to single-project explorers.
  • Supply risk is geographic: Myanmar's Wa State, Indonesia's export licensing and North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are the market's recurring disruption points.

Eloro Resources Ltd. is a TSX-listed explorer focused on the 100%-owned Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in Bolivia's Potosi Department. The April 2026 resource update defined separate silver-polymetallic and tin domains within a very large mineralised system.

The updated estimate included approximately 290,000 tonnes of tin in the inferred category across the broader resource, and Eloro is drilling to expand and upgrade higher-grade silver-tin zones. Iska Iska remains pre-economic and exploration-stage, with metallurgy and a preliminary economic assessment still required.

Rome Resources Plc is an AIM-listed explorer focused on two contiguous permits that form the Bisie North project in North Kivu, DRC. The licences lie along the Bisie mineralised trend near Alphamin's Mpama operations and host tin-bearing polymetallic mineralisation.

Bisie North is still an exploration project without a declared operating mine. Rome therefore carries substantial geological, funding, security, infrastructure and permitting risk, and should not be compared directly with established tin producers.

Tin Stocks — Investor FAQ

China is the largest producer of both mined and refined tin, while Indonesia is another leading mine producer and a particularly important exporter of refined metal. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Peru, Myanmar and Bolivia are also significant sources of mined tin. Rankings vary between mine output and refined output because smelters can process imported concentrates, secondary material and third-party feed. The geographic concentration of supply, and disruption risk in Myanmar, Indonesia and the DRC, is a central feature of the tin market.
Yunnan Tin was the world's largest refined-tin producer in the International Tin Association's latest published top-ten survey, producing 85,000 tonnes in 2024; Minsur ranked second at 36,300 tonnes. Those are refinery rankings, not mine-production rankings. Among listed mine operators, Alphamin, Minsur, PT TIMAH and Metals X's 50%-owned Renison interest provide substantial primary-tin exposure. Investors should compare mine output, refined output and attributable ownership separately.
Solder is tin's largest global use, accounting for 51% of use in the International Tin Association's 2023 survey. Tin-rich solders connect electronic components and are also used in solar-cell ribbon, so rising electronics, power-conversion and solar deployment can support demand. Tin is also used in chemicals, tinplate, alloys and lead-acid batteries. Tin-based lithium-ion, sodium-ion and perovskite technologies are active research areas, but they should be described as emerging opportunities rather than established large-scale demand today.
The London Metal Exchange tin contract is quoted in US dollars per tonne and is physically deliverable in five-tonne lots of approved-brand metal with a minimum purity of 99.85%. Producers of tin concentrate do not simply receive the headline LME price: realised revenue depends on concentrate grade, payable metal, treatment and refining terms, transport, penalties and the timing or structure of each sales contract. Smelters, miners and integrated producers therefore have different margin drivers.
Tin supply is concentrated in jurisdictions exposed to conflict, licence delays, informal mining, changing enforcement and difficult logistics. Myanmar's Wa State, Indonesia's mining and export system, and North Kivu in the DRC are recurring sources of uncertainty. Mine depletion, declining grades, permitting and a limited pipeline of financed projects can also constrain supply. Secondary tin and recycling provide an important additional source, but do not remove the market's sensitivity to disruptions at large mines or smelters.
The list includes publicly traded companies where tin is a material operating business or the flagship or major named development asset. It covers producers, integrated refiners, developers and selected explorers. It excludes private and state-only companies, diversified miners for which tin is only a minor by-product, and companies whose tin exposure is contingent on an uncompleted acquisition or has become secondary after a corporate pivot. Project phase and exposure purity should be considered alongside market capitalisation.
A miner extracts ore and upgrades it into a concentrate containing tin. A smelter buys or receives concentrate and secondary feed, removes impurities and produces refined metal. Some companies are integrated across both stages, while custom smelters depend heavily on third-party feed. This distinction explains why the largest refined-tin producer is not necessarily the largest owner of mined tin output.
Tin's investment case rests on a narrow supply base serving demand that is dominated by electronics. Solder accounted for 51% of tin use in the International Tin Association's 2023 survey, which ties consumption to electronics manufacturing, power conversion and solar-cell ribbon rather than to battery capacity. The supply side is unusually concentrated: China, Indonesia and Myanmar dominate output, grades at several long-life mines are falling, and the pipeline of financed new projects is thin. Against that, tin is a small market in which a single mine or smelter outage moves availability, and the listed universe is short on pure-play producers, so exposure often carries jurisdiction risk in Myanmar, Indonesia or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Recycling and secondary supply meet part of demand and can soften shortages without removing that sensitivity. This page is a directory of listed companies and their tin exposure, not a recommendation to buy any of them.

The principal commercial tin mineral. Cassiterite occurs in primary hard-rock deposits and in secondary alluvial or placer deposits formed after weathering and transport. Because it is dense and commonly liberated as discrete grains, gravity separation is widely used, often alongside crushing, grinding, flotation, magnetic separation or ore sorting depending on the deposit. Ore grade is normally reported as percentage tin (% Sn), not percentage cassiterite.
Cassiterite concentrated by erosion and water in river, coastal or offshore sediments. These deposits can be mined on land or offshore, including by dredges and production suction vessels. Their economics and environmental effects depend on depth, sediment conditions, recovery, rehabilitation, permitting and the degree of formalisation; alluvial deposits should not automatically be assumed to be lower cost than hard-rock mines.
The upgraded mineral product produced after tin ore is processed. Concentrate grade varies materially by orebody and flowsheet; it is sold or transferred to a smelter, where cassiterite and other tin minerals are converted into refined metal. The miner's realised value depends on contained and payable tin, treatment terms, impurities, freight and contract structure rather than the LME metal price alone.
Metal that has been smelted and refined from concentrate or secondary feed. The LME physically delivered tin contract requires approved-brand ingots with minimum purity of 99.85%, conforming to BS EN 610:1996, in five-tonne lots. Global refined production was about 371,200 tonnes in 2024 according to the International Tin Association, making tin a much smaller market than copper or aluminium.
The mass of contained tin within a quantity of concentrate, not the gross weight of the concentrate itself. A parcel of 10,000 tonnes of concentrate at a grade of 60% Sn contains 6,000 tonnes of tin before smelting losses or commercial deductions. Mine production is conventionally reported on this contained-metal basis.
Mine production measures tin contained in ore or concentrate produced by mines. Refined production measures metal output from smelters and can include imported concentrates, purchased third-party feed and recycled material. Company and country rankings can therefore differ substantially depending on which measure is used.
Production: Active commercial production or processing operations generating revenue. Development: A project with a defined resource and economics, advancing through technical studies, permitting, financing or construction. Exploration: Early-stage resource definition with no confirmed development plan yet. Study milestones such as PEA, PFS, DFS and feasibility studies are described separately in company rows rather than treated as standalone project phases. Some lists also tag non-mining vehicles separately, such as physical commodity holding vehicles, royalty and streaming companies, and investment holding companies.
