“And because of that there is more interest in tin and our Department of Lands and Mines has now mapped the whole country where there is huge tin deposits found and so the industry players are now interested in coming back, doing tin mining. According to Xavier, in recent years, although the tin mining industry was not completely halted but was not on the scale as it was in 1960.
