PANGKALPINANG,
Indonesia,, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Indonesia's PT Timah TINS.JK, the world's
biggest integrated tin miner, may not be able to produce 50,000 tonnes of tin
this year as dry weather hampered operations, the firm's president director
told Reuters on Thursday.
Output at Timah, which produced 58,086 tonnes of
tin-in-concentrate in 2007, may also be hit by the upcoming Muslim fasting
month in September, Wachid Usman added.
