China’s government is helping the Bolivian government create a research institute in Oruro and a mining school, both of which are just starting up, an official from Bolivia’s mining ministry told BNamericas.
"The organizations will be directed by the Universidad de Oruro and the ministry. The project is already in motion thanks to financing from the Chinese government," the official said.
Most of Bolivia’s tin production comes from the Oruro department and Bolivia is the main source of China’s imports of tin concentrates.
