The removal of lead in solder has led to a weird problem with the replacement. On a typical circuit board you have many small solder pads and what happens with the new solder is over time the solder grows "whiskers" which are tiny hairs of solder that grow and can short out adjacent solder pads. Anyway, there is something you probably don't know. You can only see them if you use a microscope.

Before the war with Russia, Ukraine used to produce 4200 tonnes per year enough for Ukrainian electronics industry. Ukraine is extremely rich in mineral wealth holding between 14.5 to 20 trillion dollars worth. Two years ago a Australian company found two lithium carbonate holding over 540000 enough for domestic use , copper metal over 25 000000 tonnes enough for 70 years. The most important is rare earth's out of 28 elements Ukraine has 23 , Ukraine is top producer of 5 base metals so that is why it's important for Ukraine to win this war with Russia and hopefully peace in eastern Europe.

Updated answers will be published in the upcoming feasibility study, due 2024. The 2017 PEA indicated 1,000t per day operation, 350,000t per annum @ 1.55% SnEq. PEA also outlined a 3.8 year payback period. There has been a lot of progress since the PEA making the study somewhat outdated. Given the resource upgrade, forecast tin price and optimisation work ongoing, it is likely that the new feasibility study will look completely different.

I should think that the tailings from old mine works and smelting operations would be a good source of tin. They only took away the easily obtained stuff, so what was left over will still be commercially viable using modern methods.

7.25 Are you sure that the Romans sought tin and copper for their armour and weapons? 'It was the importance placed on iron by the Romans throughout the Empire which completed the shift from the few cultures still using primarily bronze into the Iron Age'. Wikipedia.

Tin and copper was sourced for many metal items by the Romans including armour. Weapons were made of bronze and then moved to steel when available which gave them an advantage militarily until everyone had steel weapons !

My grandmother was a Bolitho - ============================ a Cornish name connected to tin ==================================================== as bankers, smelters ( Chyandour ), and a host of other things. The Bolitho family - originally tanners - moved to West Penwith, developing trade from the mid-18th century, helping to make Cornwall THE mining centre of Europe. My late mother owned part of Ding-Dong Mine, which once employed 500 people. Alongside many other landowning and banking families, they collectively took the Duchy of Cornwall from muddy tracks to macadmised roads and railways, from donkeys and oxen power to steam engines, in a mere 150 years - post-medieval to the early 20th century. So I greatly welcome the possibility of a mining revival. I am, perhaps, more aware than most, of the challenges facing mining in Cornwall. In the 1870s, when there was both a recession, and the opening of alluvial tin in Bolivia and Malaya, mines were kept just ticking over, if possible, and for those out of work, in the hope of preventing emigration, much money was spent on work on the moors, digging ditches and building stone walls, to keep miners busy. The family was so concerned at the threat, a man was sent to Bolivia to report back on what Cornish tin was up against. In the 1920s and 1930s, although taxation had reduced the family's abilities locally, similar things were done to help important but vulnerable busineses survive. / Now we have everything run from elsewhere, by people with no connection to Cornwall. When people feel an obligation to "their" people, they look at a business differently to an accountant based in Dubai. I guess that is "progress", but Cornwall suffers as a result. /
