Challenger and fifth-seed, Mak started off with a split in his opening frame but local favourite, Kim was unable to take advantage of it. Mak recovered with a double strike in the fourth and fifth frames to draw level with the Korean at the halfway mark. But the Hong Kong national bowler failed to spare a single pin in the sixth frame which provided Kim a bit of confidence to roll a double strike in eighth and ninth frames for a one frame lead.
Again, Mak bounced back superbly by striking out from frame nine to end with a maximum of and forcing his opponent a need to strike in the ten frame to take victory.

Tongkuangyu ore fluids are highly oxidized 25 , whereas tin is usually associated with reducing geological environments 30 , such that there should not be much tin in the Tongkuangyu ore deposit.
This is supported by the low tin concentrations in the Tongkuangyu fluid inclusions Fig. Therefore, even if lead indeed came from Tongkuangyu, we still need to find out the source of tin.
Moreover, cassiterite, the main tin ore mineral, almost universally has a low lead content. Therefore, tin deposits in South China cannot explain the highly radiogenic lead isotopic characteristics of Yin-Shang bronzes. To make their bronzes, Yin-Shang people would have had to get tin from far southern China or elsewhere Fig. The Shang dynasty territory was very small at its beginning and while expanding dramatically during the Yin-Shang period, it did not extend south of the Yangtze River even in its heyday.
It is true that long distance trade started very early in the history of civilizations. In particular, Yin-Shang people were famous for commerce. So, it is possible that the Yin-Shang people get access to the needed tin through trade with tribes in southern China. It started with arsenic bronze and then changed to tin bronze. In Europe, fahlore with high arsenic contents has been at least heated if not smelted in the second half of the 5 th millennium B.
In contrast, the Yin-Shang civilization started directly with tin bronzes. No arsenic bronze has ever been reported in China. This also strongly suggests that Yin-Shang bronze technology was likely imported into China. All these suggest that the Yin-Shang people may have learned bronze technology elsewhere and brought it to China.
Such a hypothesis, however, is not yet generally accepted, although an increasing amount of archaeological findings in northwestern China supports early culture and technology connections between China and the West 26 , The majority of archaeologists in China strongly insist, however, that although bronze was produced in China much later than in Mesopotamia, Egypt and several other regions, the bronze technology was developed independently in China. There are an increasing numbers of bronze objects older than the Shang Dynasty being unearthed in China, mostly in northwestern China.
For example, a ca. It is controversial whether the Majiayao knife marks the beginning of bronze production in China. First of all, it is an isolated bronze item and no associated smelting site has been reported. Moreover, Majiayao is located in the west part of the Loess Plateau, which is covered by thick Quaternary loess with limited access to hard rocks. No necessary ore deposit near the Majiayao site has been reported, either.
Slightly younger bronzes perhaps as early as BC have been reported in Ganggangwa and Huoshiliang, Gansu Province Most of the BC bronze pieces, with the exception of one sample have low radiogenic isotopic compositions similar to those of the modern Baishantang mine site at Dingxin, indicating a possible source of copper ore 34 for these pieces.
These lead isotopic compositions are dramatically different from the early Yin-Shang bronzes. Furthermore, none of these above mentioned sites belonged to Yin-Shang, and, importantly, these places also did not have local access to tin deposits Fig. Sanxingdui is another famous ancient civilization in China with marvelous bronzes.

Sanxingdui bronzes are generally taken as coeval with or slightly earlier than Yin-Shang 2. In contrast to other archaeological sites, Sanxingdui was much closer to tin deposits in southwestern China. Remarkably, Sanxingdui bronzes have lead isotopes similar to those of Yin-Shang, which has been taken as key evidence indicating connections between Yin-Shang and Sanxingdui. It has been proposed that the Yin-Shang people might have had a trading route across the Qinling Mountains and gotten their tin from the Sanxingdui people 2 , through trade, war, or marriage.
