Tin mining sparkles in Tasmania Tuesday, 23/06/2009 abc.net.au Tin is one of the bright sectors of Tasmania's minerals industry, with high prices driving new exploration. Metals X Ltd is exploring near its Mount Bischoff mine and near Zeehan on Tasmania's west coast, and has found some deposits with 14 per cent tin. Shaw Contracting's mine supervisor, Robbie Lavell, says high tin prices and good exploration results are setting the scene for some underground mining at the site. "The tin price is really good at the moment. It's up around $US15,000 a tonne, so that's really good," he says. "It was $A22,000 a tonne last week or the week before, which is fantastic."
