For 4 consecutive years, Myanmar Tin ore output has risen 10-fold from mere 5000 metric ton in 2012 to almost 50000 metric ton in 2015. But in 2016 the growth began to slow down. According to Cui Lin, chief China representative of the international Tin Research institute, whose estimate based is on Myanmar’s exports to China, this is due to the depletion in resources and drop in grades.
Indeed Myanmar’s tin ore industry is facing not only a development bottleneck but commercial challenges as production moved from open-pit mining to underground mining which involves substantial fixed-asset investment hence increased prodcution costs
The country’s output is expected to decline starting next year if more resources aren’t discovered in the near future.
