Country Reserves

China 1,500,000

Australia 180,000

Other 180,000

Total 4,800,000

About 253,000 tonnes of tin have been mined in 2011, mostly in China (110,000 t), Indonesia (51,000 t), Peru (34,600 t), Bolivia (20,700 t) and Brazil (12,000 t).[33] Estimates of tin production have historically varied with the dynamics of economic feasibility and the development of mining

When was tin first found?

Tin is one of the oldest metals known by man. There are domestic utensils and arms made of brass (copper with about 15% of tin), dating from 3500 B.C.. The Phoenicians had a very important role in the spread of brass utensils due to its commercial trades with Britain, Spain and the Middle East. Pliny referred, in 49 A.D., to the existence of tin and lead alloys, what we now know as solder, as well as recipients of tinned copper. Tinned iron was only developed in the 14th century in Bohemia, and tinned steel appeared only in the 17th century. Originally confined to Britain and Spain, the tin extraction spread throughout to other countries of the Southern Asia and to Congo, Nigeria and Bolivia.


What state is not found on earth?

The Wikipedia lists about 17 states of matter. For example, the Bose-Einstein condensate is not found naturally - neither on Earth, or outside - because of the extremely low temperature required. However, it can be made in a laboratory on Earth. On the other hand, the special states of matter found in a white dwarf or a neutron star can not currently be reproduced on Earth.
