Aug. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Tantalum Information

Tantalum Ore is a natural mineral formation containing tantalum which is mostly used in the production of electronic components. The main minerals of tantalum ores are columbite-tantalite, tantalite and manganotantalite, wodginite, and microlite. Tantalum ores are concentrated by gravitational methods for extracting tantalum. Tantalum has unique electrical, chemical, and physical properties and therefore used as tantalum metal powder in the production of electronic components like tantalum capacitors. It can be alloyed with other metals and used in making cemented carbide tools for metal working equipment, and is also used in the production of super alloys for jet engine components.

Tantalum occurs naturally in mineral tantalite and is highly corrosion resistant. It can be drawn into thin wires or filaments because of its ductility. Tantalum can be used as a valuable substance for laboratory equipment because of its chemical inertness and thus can substitute the need for platinum. The largest deposits of tantalum ores are found in Canada, Brazil, Zaire, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Australia, Brazil, Canada, Congo (Kinshasa), Ethiopia, and Rwanda are leading tantalum ore producers.

Tantalum Mining

Tantalum can also be extracted from tantalum-niobium ores. For this reason it is also called as niobium in South Africa which produces nearly 25% of the world’s tantalum ore. Ore sources are abound in Africa and are easily accessible because the ore is located close to the surface.

Geology of Zambezi province in northern Mozambique is characterized by pegmatite and quartz veins in metamorphic rocks. Rachana Global has identified and explored a selected area of pegmatite outcrops in detail. These pegmatite rocks along with some precious stones are also rich in tantalite at some places. Rachana Global is continuously discovering new ways of mining tantalum ore to achieve commercial success with the help of its experienced geologists, geotechnical engineers, tantalum mining engineers, tantalum ore technologists and surveyors.
