Vinto aims to move up league (08 Apr 2010)
Bolivian state-owned tin producer Empresa Metalurgica Vinto (EMV) which is currently 7th in ITRI’s ranking of production by tin smelters aims to overtake China’s Yunnan Chengfeng and Thailand’s Thaisarco to be 5th in ranking. EMV’s production increased by 24% to 11,805 tonnes in 2009 and is targeted to rise to 13,000 tonnes in 2010. In 1994, the smelter recorded an all-time record production of 19,959 tonnes. To achieve the above objective EMV will be installing a new Ausmelt plant in the next two years with a capacity to produce some 18,000 tpy of tin metal. About US$150 million capital expenditure has been budgeted for 2010.

PT Timah goes offshore (31 Mac 10)
PT Timah’s offshore dredging operations produced 18,208 tonnes of tin-in-concentrate in 2009, up 31% on the previous year and the highest annual total achieved since 1998. The growth reflects Timah’s increased use of smaller and more economical cutter suction dredges on its mining leases. Timah plans to have 15 of its own cutter section vessels by the end of 2010 in addition to using a larger number of contractor operated dredges. The company also plans to have its first new large deep water bucket wheel dredge, mining to a depth of up to 75 metres, in operation by 2011. |

The Bolivian government will be re-tendering for equipment at the Huanuni mine where a large expansion project is currently underway. The US$40 million project will involve the construction of a new mill to expand ore processing capacity to 3,000 tpd, roughly three times the throughput achieved up to 2008. Last year’s tender has been declared void. The tender this time will be by direct invitation and turnkey.
The Huanuni mine last year accounted for just over half of Bolivia’s total tin mine production of 19,575 tonnes.
