LONDON - Zinc and other metals prices rose on Tuesday, boosted by strong credit data in top metals consumer China and a weaker dollar, while tin gained on falling output in key producer Myanmar.

Tin CMSN3 was one of the top LME performers on Tuesday, ending 1 percent higher at $19,625, after senior mine officials in Myanmar, China's top supplier of ore, told Reuters that production at key operations was falling sharply and deposits could be depleted in two to three years.
