Tantalite Mining in Africa and Beyond. Tantalite is a mineral group and the main source of tantalum, a chemical element which is hard, rare, and considered to be an important commodity, especially in the electrical and computer industries. Because it has a melting point of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius, this brown-to-black-coloured mineral ...

Tantalite is a dominant ore mineral of tantalum and is most commonly found within rare-metal granites and pegmatites, which are suggested to account for more than three-quarters of current tantalum production. ... commonly occurring with tin (cassiterite) and/or lithium mineralisation, e.g., the Western Australian deposits of Greenbushes and ...

Cassiterite, zircon and struverite inclusions in columbite–tantalite grains indicate a primary magmatic origin. However, the cross-cut character of struverite zoned microveinlets may also indicate crystallization of this Ta-rutile phase during the subsolidus event, while microlite crystallization appears to be exclusive post-magmatic.
