Indonesia's Timah sees weaker 2008 tin output

PANGKALPINANG, Indonesia,, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Indonesia's PT Timah (TINS.JK), the world's biggest integrated tin miner, may not be able to produce 50,000 tonnes of tin this year as dry weather hampered operations, the firm's president director told Reuters on Thursday.

Output at Timah, which produced 58,086 tonnes of tin-in-concentrate in 2007, may also be hit by the upcoming Muslim fasting month in September, Wachid Usman added.
