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.
- 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.

Yunnan Tin Company
Yunnan Tin Co., Ltd. is the only mainland Chinese A-share company spanning the full tin value chain. Its operations include the Datun, Laochang and Kafang mining branches, tin smelting and downstream tin-materials activities. The company also produces indium, zinc and copper, so it is a diversified non-ferrous-metals business rather than a pure-play tin miner. The company is controlled by Yunnan Tin Group (Holding). Yunnan Tin reports 80,000 tonnes of annual tin-smelting capacity and has ranked as the world's largest refined-tin producer in the International Tin Association's producer surveys. $9.4B

Cornish Metals
Cornish Metals plc is an AIM-listed developer working to reopen the historic South Crofty tin mine in Cornwall. The project is permitted for underground mining and a new processing plant, and the company is rebuilding shaft and surface infrastructure ahead of a final investment decision. The October 2025 preliminary economic assessment outlined average post-ramp-up production of about 4,700 tonnes of tin in concentrate over a 14-year mine life. In 2026 Cornish Metals secured the debt portion of its development financing and continued to target first concentrate in 2028. $189M

Eloro Resources
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. $177M

Sky Metals
Sky Metals Limited is focused on 100%-owned tin projects in New South Wales. Tallebung is the priority asset and is being evaluated as an open-pit development, while the larger Doradilla mineralised system provides a second potential development opportunity. The company is conducting resource drilling, metallurgy and mining studies rather than operating a commercial mine. It therefore offers early-stage tin exposure with the higher geological, study, permitting and financing risks typical of a junior developer. $162M

Stellar Resources
Stellar Resources Limited is an ASX-listed developer focused on the 100%-owned Heemskirk tin project near Zeehan in western Tasmania. The project includes the Severn, Queen Hill and Montana deposits, with St Dizier as a nearby satellite deposit. A July 2026 resource update reported 13.36 million tonnes grading 0.86% tin, containing 115,300 tonnes of tin. Stellar is advancing a pre-feasibility study, so Heemskirk remains pre-production and subject to technical-study, permitting and financing risk. $100M

First Tin
First Tin Plc is a London-listed tin development company with two flagship assets: Taronga in New South Wales, Australia, and Tellerhauser in Saxony, Germany. Taronga has a definitive feasibility study, while Tellerhauser is progressing through pre-feasibility and permitting work. The 2025 annual report described target production of roughly 6,000 tonnes per year of tin concentrate at Taronga and about 5,500 tonnes per year at Tellerhauser. Both remain pre-production projects, so permitting, financing, construction and commodity-price assumptions are central risks. $97M

Rome Resources
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. $33M
