¹World totals, U.S. data, and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
²Whenever possible, total output has been separated into primary (from ores and concentrates) and secondary (tin metal recovered from old
scrap). Data reflect metal production at the first measurable stage of metal output. Includes data available through July 10, 2014.
