Relevance

Production of electronics electronics, capacitors, cell phones, personal computers, production of carbide tools, as well as the production of jet engine parts, sputtering targets, fertilizers. The wide range of practical applications provides protection against random fluctuations in end-use markets.

Forecast

Total tantalum demand is projected to grow by 3.3% through the end of 2017, and will increase steadily through 2026. Capacitor manufacturing remains the largest consumption sector for this metal in the world, but demand growth in this segment will be below average. The main demand growth constraints are the increase in functionality ("bundling" applications) of smartphones and the constant reduction of capacitor size. Smartphone shipments are expected to increase 3% through 2026. Solid alloy tantalum demand will have a higher growth rate due to sustained high demand for the commercial aerospace sector.

Supply growth

Total new shipments could increase by 37% between 2017 and 2026. Much of the increase in production will come from conventional mining, with expanded production expected at the Mintasao Tacoca mine in Pitinte, which does not mine tantalum concentrate. The industry could see significant changes in the coming years as more material is supplied as a byproduct due to the large expected increase in metal production in Australia. Evek GmbH offers to buy any rare earth metals at a manufacturer's price. The supplier guarantees delivery to any destination.

The geography of world tantalum mining

Tantalum production in Australia, which at the end of the last century amounted to 60% of the world supply, fell almost to zero by the end of the 2000s, as low prices made ordinary mining unprofitable. At the same time, the rate of tantalum mining increased in the Great Lakes region (East Africa) as well as in Central Africa. This made it possible to fill the supply gap. Traditionally in Australia, a small amount of tantalum is produced from rocks, with lithium mining as a by-product. By 2026, however, Australia is expected to supply the world market with up to 20% of its total tantalum production.

Africa

In Africa, most of the tantalum ore is mined artisanally from mines around Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In recent years, the region has provided between 45% and 55% of global production. Since consumers could potentially prefer the less expensive feedstock offered by Australian producers, this could reduce the current dependence of the world's leading consumers on artisanal suppliers. Therefore, the supply of tantalum from the African Great Lakes region could decrease markedly by the end of the forecast period.

Supplies in 2016

In 2016, 19% of supplies came from South America and from two large Brazilian mines. Tantalum production technology consists of developing the mineral columbite, and from the slag that is produced in the tin smelting process. Mining in Brazil is steadily increasing, and by 2026, South America could provide up to 24% of the global supply of tantalum ores.
