Meeting the World’s Tin Demand – Sustainably

Tin is a critical, yet often overlooked, clean energy metal, essential for the energy transition and digital transformation. From electric vehicles to renewable power grids, the world’s shift to a decarbonised future relies heavily on circuit boards, held together by solder that is primarily made from tin.  Similarly, tin is critical for 5G, data centres, and the semi-conductors enabling the digital transformation, AI, robotics and advanced manufacturing.

Currently, 97% of the global tin supply comes from emerging and developing economies, with a significant portion from artisanal mining, often poorly regulated and with significant environmental and social consequences. Due to depletion of resources, conflict and disruption, supply has not grown over the past 20 years, resulting in very low global inventories.  As demand grows, a significant supply deficit is forecast.

But the narrative is changing.

Listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market, First Tin is a rapidly advancing mining and development company, aiming to supply fully traceable and verifiable tin.  By providing ethical and reliable tin, our two advanced tin projects in Australia and Germany will help deliver a sustainable answer to the material supply issues faced by industrial tin consumers. 

By delivering on our vision to be a conflict-free source of tin through sustainable, professional, responsible and regulated mining we are helping to power the global clean energy and technology transitions while minimising environmental impact and ensuring a transparent, secure supply chain.
