JAKARTA, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Indonesia exported 0.4 metric
tons of refined tin in January, down 99% from the same month
last year, data from Trade Ministry showed on Monday. 
    On a monthly basis, exports also dropped from nearly 6,000
tons in December. 
    Exports were likely affected by the delays in approval of
annual work plans for mining companies, including for tin
miners, said Jabin Sufianto, secretary of the Indonesia's Tin
Exporters Association said.
