Tin is primarily extracted using placer mining methods, especially for alluvial deposits. This method involves mining tin from riverbeds, beaches, or other locations where tin has been concentrated by water. However, underground mining can also be used for hard rock deposits of tin.

If you have to choose one method, placer mining would be the best fit for many tin extraction scenarios.
