Timah Records 55% Increase in Tin Ore Production

Jakarta (ANTARA) – PT Timah (Persero) Tbk (TINS) recorded tin ore production of 18,883 tonnes of tin content in the first nine months of 2026, up 55% from 12,190 tonnes in the same period of 2025.

“This achievement reflects stronger operational and financial performance through higher productivity, the optimisation of business activities, effective sales management and financial discipline,” PT Timah president director Restu Widiyantoro said in an official statement received by ANTARA in Jakarta on Friday.

In line with the increase, tin metal production reached 16,190 metric tonnes, a 49% rise from 10,855 metric tonnes in the first nine months of 2025.

The increase in tin ore production was supported by the optimisation of onshore and offshore mining.

For offshore mining, PT Timah optimised the performance of its dredgers and production suction vessels, and strengthened supervision and productivity at its production suction pontoons.

PT Timah also stepped up exploration by operating drill ships across its main production areas.

The drilling aims to improve confidence in tin resource and reserve estimates, and to provide more comprehensive information to support data-driven operational planning and decision-making.
