国际锡业协会中国区代表访问印尼主要锡生产商

International Tin Association (ITA) China Chief Representative Lan Gao and Market Analyst Huanbo Qin visited Indonesia to strengthen ties with key local tin industry stakeholders last week.

This marks ITA’s first visit to Indonesia in 2026, following a November 2025 trip by ITA’s Sustainability team to observe operations first-hand with the Tin Code as the focus, and a 2025 September visit by ITA CEO Helen Prins and the team for stakeholder engagement in Jakarta.

The team’s first trip was to Bangka Island. On the morning of 2nd June, the team visited PT Timah’s offshore KIP 7 mining site. The dredge vessel’s team explained the production process and guided the delegation through the entire operational flow. The dredge uses a simple-process method to treat alluvial tin ore from the seabed, producing a 70% tin concentrate through an environmentally-friendly operation.

On 3rd June, the ITA China team toured PT Mitra Stania Prima’s (MSP) smelter, which is operating near capacity, as well as its open-pit mine Mapur and dressing plant which produces a 70% tin concentrate for the company’s smelter.

With sustainability a key priority, the dressing plant operates using recirculated seawater in a closed-loop system.

In Jakarta, the ITA China team was welcomed by PT Timah’s Director of Production and Commercial Mr Ilhamsyah Mahendra and his team. Both sides discussed the venue and timing for the International Tin Conference for 2028, scheduled to be held in Indonesia.

The ITA team also extended a warm invitation to Mr. Ilhamsyah Mahendra to join the CEO panel discussions at the Asia Tin Week (ATW) 2026 conference, taking place in Kunming, China on 24th – 27th November.

Alongside this visit, Huanbo Qin delivered a presentation at the tin session of the Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo organized by SMM, introducing China’s tin industry in the context of changing global tin ore supplies.

ITA thanks PT Timah and MSP for hosting the site visits and meetings in Jakarta.

Indonesia accounts for approximately 22% of global mine tin supply in 2025, and the country’s evolving tin export and production policies continue to have a significant impact on the global tin market.

PT Timah Tbk is a member of the International Tin Association.
