One of the world’s biggest tin producers is rolling out a digital tracking system for all of its output as the formal mining industry steps up efforts to distinguish itself from minerals produced illegally or unethically.
Minsur SA — controlled by the Brescia family, one of Peru’s wealthiest — plans to track about 29,000 metric tons of tin a year, including its production in Brazil. Eventually, the Minespider traceability system would also cover gold mined in Peru, Minsur spokesman Gonzalo Quijandria said in an interview Monday.
