Estimates of tin production have historically varied with the dynamics of economic feasibility and the
development of mining technologies, but it is estimated that, at current consumption rates and
technologies, the Earth will run out of tin that can be mined in 40 years. Some more apocalyptic
commentators have suggested tin could run out within 20 years based on a conservative extrapolation
of 2% growth per year.

Page 16 This shows an overwhelming emerging supply
crisis for tin.
