As the global economy accelerates toward decarbonisation and digitalisation, tin is emerging as one of the most essential yet often overlooked critical minerals of the modern era. From renewable energy systems and electric vehicles to mobile devices and industrial automation, tin plays a foundational role by enabling conductivity through solder, the tiny connections that power the technologies we rely on every day.
To support the growing need for accurate and reliable geochemical data in tin exploration and production, OREAS is proud to announce the release of four Certified Reference Materials (CRMs):
OREAS 143, 144, 145, and 150.
Why Tin Matters More Than Ever
Often referred to as the “glue” of modern electronics, tin has limited substitution options and plays an expanding role in:
- Battery anode materials
- Perovskite solar cells
- Semiconductors and future computing technologies
As supply chains tighten and global demand surges, tin is quickly transforming from a traditional industrial metal into a strategic resource. Ensuring accurate geochemical analysis of tin-bearing ores is therefore essential not just for resource development, but for securing the mineral supply chains underpinning the technologies of the future.
Whether you’re working in early-stage exploration or managing production laboratory QA/QC programs, OREAS Tin CRMs deliver the confidence and consistency needed for accurate tin analysis.
