20231219 · Economic Demonstrated Resources of tantalum were 88.8 kt at 31 December 2018, up from 75.7 kt in 2016 (Table 2) 10. Since 2010, EDR has shown a steady increase (apart from a temporary drop in 2017), reflecting the high level of exploration activity and exploration success over that period for lithium, for which tantalum is a common by …

Their use in corrosion prevention, micro-electronics, specialty alloys and high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel earns them a strategic designation in most industrialised countries. The Ta market is unstable due in part to historic influx of ‘conflict’ columbite-tantalite …

view moreThe Aubry pegmatites are classified by Breaks et al. (2003) as complex type, spodumene-subtype, lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites (Cerný, 1989). These pegmatites generally form under high-pressure–low-temperature conditions, display complex internal zoning, have relatively low Nb/Ta ratios in the ore-forming assemblages, and contain ...
view moreAbstract Rare-element pegmatites may host several economic commodities, such as tantalum (Ta-oxide minerals), tin (cassiterite), lithium (ceramic-grade spodumene and petalite), and cesium (pollucite). Key geological features that are common to pegmatites in the Superior province of Ontario and Manitoba, Canada, and in other large tantalum …
