Sydney, June 18, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Australian tin explorer Consolidated Tin Mines Limited (ASX:CSD) said it will commence discussions with potential Chinese off-take and joint venture partners for its Mt Garnet Tin Project.

The project is located in the Herberton Tin Field near Cairns in northern Queensland in one of Australia's largest tin producing areas. Consolidated Tin's managing director Ralph De Lacey next week will start discussions in Shanghai with a number of investment groups and representatives of tin smelters on future off-take arrangements and joint venture investment partnerships for the development of Mt Garnet project.

This will include participation at the Queensland-China Trade and Investment Forum at the specific invitation of the Queensland government, which will feature approximately 100 potential Chinese investors.

The company plans to become Queensland's major tin producing company through development of the Mt Garnet project, Consolidated Tin says.
