Economic Geology of Niobium and Tantalum

Tantalum ore has characteristically grades of about 0.03% Ta 2 O 5, generally as a co-product of cassiterite and other minerals. Note that because of facile overgrinding, metallurgical recovery of columbite by crushing and milling hard-rock ore is often as low as 50%. Tantalum is silvery grey, heavy and very hard but malleable and ductile.

Geology & mineralogy of niobium deposits

Enriched by leaching: This type is probably derived from the former by the leaching out of carbonate minerals. The ore, thus, contains iron oxides, phosphate minerals, some barite, some quartz and bariopyrochlore: ore grade may be 2 to 10 times the grade of the primary carbonatite. The Araxá and Catalao deposits of Brazil are of this type.
