A tin deposit estimated at 83,700 tonnes has been found in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, local authorities said on Thursday.
The deposit at a copper-zinc mine in Chifeng City, has a potential value of more than 15 billion yuan (about 2.3 billion U.S. dollars), according to the city's land and resources bureau.
The site is expected to become a new tin production base, the third in China after the Nanling Mountains in south China and Gejiu City in southwest China's Yunnan Province.
