Tin to Khabarovsk, currency to the treasury, 25 July 2023
...Now all the concentrate produced from mined ore at the processing plant in Khabarovsk Krai is transported to Novosibirsk, where the nearest tin smelter with a complicated fate and a vague future is operating. The Novosibirsk tin smelter has been planned to be relocated outside the city for a year now: local residents complain about air pollution, while the authorities plan to build residential and commercial property in its place by 2030. In Novosibirsk, the concentrate is smelted into finished products - metallic tin.
