Cassiterite is the only ore (in DF) that can be smelted into tin. It can also be combined to create bronze, bismuth bronze, trifle pewter, lay pewter, and fine pewter. In the world of Dwarf Fortress, cassiterite is found in only layers of granite, as veins.

Cassisterite is a required ingredient to make several types of metal alloy bars at a smelter; see alloy for specific formulae:
