reserves of tin, however, local ore poorer counterparts with competing Bolivian,

Chinese or Brazilian fields (average 0.5% against 1.2%), which

makes the mining of metal in the country more expensive, and the price of the finished product — less

competitive. However, in the depths of Russia there are nearly 3.6 million

tons of tin that is more than 7.5% of the total (worldwide) volumes. Lion

district (Central part of the same administrative-territorial unit).
