	tin
		Tin is a malleable, ductile, highly crystalline, silvery-white metal whose crystal structure causes a "tin cry" when a bar of tin is bent (caused by crystals breaking).
		Tin is also used in solders for joining pipess or electrical/electronic circuits, in bearing alloys, in glass-making, and in a wide range of tin chemical applications.
		Tin (anglo-Saxon, tin, Latin stannum) is one of the earliest metals known and was used as a component of bronze from antiquity.

	mining
		Cornwall was famous for its mining and it is said that a Cornish miner could be found at the bottom of every deep mine in the world, their expertise in hard rock mining being world-renowned.
		Initially the miners grubbed the alluvial tin from the river valleys and it was much later that the lodes were mines, required shaft mining to recover it.
		The tin was combined with copper to make bronze for such things like early bronze weapons and much later for church bells; when combined with lead it became pewter, used in production of items such as platters, tankards and other tableware, something for the households of wealthier merchants and craftsmen.

		In the first report on the mine, Twelvetrees (1913) described a discontinuous series of quartz and gossanous formations and suggested that the encouraging gold assays obtained in surface outcrops were the result of secondary enrichment and could not be expected at depth.
		The Shepherd and Murphy mine, later referred to as the Moina Tungsten-Tin mine, is situated on the south bank of Bismuth Creek at Moina.
		In 1953, the Moina Tungsten Tin Mining Co. N.L. was formed and by 1954 had de-watered the mine, erected a new treatment plant and had treated some 2540 t of ore. Production continued for the next two years, but in 1957 production ceased and the company was placed in liquidation.

		Tin in Bolivia was to be the metal of the Twentieth Century.

		The falling off of demand in the United States in 1927 [consuming nearly half the world's tin] soon brought to an end the upward movement of price and by the end of the year those who said there would soon be a tin famine saw stocks accumulating.
