In recent developments, PT TIMAH Tbk established a strategic partnership with Yunnan Tin Company in 2024 to enhance supply chain efficiency from mining through refining and trading, boost production capacity via technical expertise sharing, and expand access to international markets including potential rare earth elements opportunities. Discussions continue into 2025 on deepening this collaboration, which could influence global tin prices and support strategic mineral development under government mandates, alongside initiatives to process previously discarded slime heavy particles (SHP) for value recovery and a 2025 tin production target of 21,545 metric tons. These efforts reflect ongoing operational enhancements and downstream expansions, including tin chemical plant advancements since 2009 and joint ventures for reserve growth such as in Nigeria.
