Passing
through the country side, small villages and pepper plantations along
the route, an unusual and splendid view will be observed from the top of
a mountain in the mining area, looking down about 100 M you will see
the progress of the tin mine. People from Siantan and Johor of Malaysia
first discovered tin in Bangka Island in 1710, since then a lot of
traders from Asia as well as from Europe stopped and visited Bangka
Island.
To operate the tin mines, skilled
labors were imported from Malacca and China. This is the only open pit
tin the excavation and in the future mine in Indonesia will grow much
larger and deeper.
