About Yunnan Tin Group

Yunnan Tin Group, known as Yunxi or YTC, is the Yunnan state group that leads the global tin and indium industry, with a history stretching back more than a century in the Gejiu mining area, the 'tin capital'. Its official website presents it as the provincial platform for integrating non-ferrous metal resources and as a leader in high-end raw materials and deep-processing materials, aiming to build a world-class tin and indium enterprise.

The group covers exploration, mining, beneficiation, smelting, refining and deep processing of tin, indium, zinc and copper. Its products include refined tin registered on the London Metal Exchange under the YT brand, indium ingots, copper cathodes, zinc ingots, leaded and lead-free solders, tin-based alloys, electronic tin materials and a broad range of organic and inorganic tin chemicals, running to hundreds of commercial references.

Through its listed arm, Yunnan Tin Company Limited, the group operates China's largest tin production and processing base and one of the largest worldwide, and has developed proprietary smelting technology such as its top-blown furnace, applied in modernisation projects at its Yunnan plants.
