Production. Tin smelting. Storage piles of slag at a Southern tin smelter that extracts the pure metal from South American ore. This slag is reintroduced to the smelting process as many times as it is able to yield up useful constituents. The large amount of pure tin produced at this plant serves to meet many of the countless war demands of the United Nations
