Tantalite is the tantalum-rich member, and Columbite is the niobium-rich member. Tantalite is named after its tantalum content, and, together with Columbite, are the most important minerals containing the rare element tantalum. The name Tantalite has been discredited by the IMA, with the more specific designations of Tantalite- (Fe) (also known ...

According to the source, the workable price for tantalite is around USD41-42/lb. "Although some suppliers offer as high as USD50/lb or even higher, yet we are unable to accept it, due to slow tantalum oxide market," said the source. Columbite supply is very small, and the source holds that the price of the material might be at USD8-9/lb.

Columbite-tantalite minerals commonly have a broad range of U contents that may reach several thousand ppm and may substitute for Fe and Mn into the crystal lattice, but for high U contents may form phases of its own (e.g., uraninite; cf. Romer et al., 1996). Furthermore, columbite-tantalite minerals typically have very low common Pb …

Conflict minerals reporting requirements vary by region. Both the U.S. and the EU require businesses to report on their use of conflict minerals, but reporting requirements are quite different between the two. The U.S. has an established 3TG reporting process and format, while the EU regulation requires compliance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

The mining of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) has a negative effect on the different spheres of the environment notably; hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere (Eisler 2004). Just like gold mining, COLTAN extraction involves the breaking of crystallographic bond in the mineral ore to get the products in the pure form.

Columbite is a black, crystalline mineral group, and the main ore of niobium which is also called columbate, niobite, and niobite-tantalite [ (Fe, Mn)Nb2O6], it is also a niobate of iron and manganese. It is found in granite, pegmatites, and placer deposits together with tantalite, but has less density. Columbite has the same mineral structure ...

Uganda's reserves include copper, tungsten, cobalt, columbite-tantalite, gold, phosphate, iron ore, and limestone. Gold, cobalt, and columbite-tantalite are mined. Gold is an important export, but it is complicated by the fact that gold has been smuggled into Uganda from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
