Tantalite is the common name for any mineral ore containing tantalum. Most tantalum mines are open pit; some are underground. The process of mining tantalum involves blasting, crushing and transporting the resulting ore to begin the process of freeing the tantalum. The ore is then concentrated at or near the mine site, to increase the ...

Tantalum occurs principally in the mineral columbite-tantalite (Fe, Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6. Tantalum ores are found in the Republic of Zaire, Brazil, Mozambique, Thailand, Portugal, Nigeria, and Canada. Mines at Bernic Lake, Manitoba, have reserves of 900,000 tons of ore averaging about 0.15% tantalum oxide.

Columbite-tantalite LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating is a fast and useful method to determine the age of rare-metal deposits and fingerprint the provenance of columbite-tantalite ore concentrates. Accurate LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating requires matrix-matched reference materials.

Abstract. In this work, mineralogical and physical characterization of low-grade tantalum-tin ore-samples from Ntunga and Kamonyi of Rwanda were carried out using …

Ore from the Jinzhulong Ta–Nb deposit was processed using a combination of gravity concentration and magnetic separation to upgrade the columbite–tantalite fines. Two flowsheets, namely for gravity concentration–magnetic separation (the conventional flowsheet) and magnetic separation–gravity concentration (the novel flowsheet), are …

In late 2016, spodumene was reported as present in the tantalite ore at the pegmatite deposit with the commencement of metallurgical test work, exploration and resource drilling 19. A maiden lithium mineral resource was released in 2017 20 and a further resource estimate was published in 2018 21.

The decrease of Nb/Ta in columbite– tantalite and of Zr/Hf in zircon is consistent with fractionation of a silicate melt (Linnen and Keppler, 1997, 2002). The most contentious question concerning the magmatic controls of mineralization is how the ore minerals, primarily columbite–tantalite, become saturated.
