The ore-samples were classified as low-grade and non-radioactive ores as they contained less than 0.1% Ta2O5 and Nb2O5, and the percentage of radioactive oxides were below the critical value of 0.5%.Web

Tantalum minerals contain 12 to 84 percent tantalum pentoxide; however, tantalum ores are low grade and contain only 0.01 to 1 percent tantalum pentoxide, which is equivalent to 0.1 to 10 kilograms per metric ton. As a result, to produce concentrates of tantalum, tantalite ore must be separated from other minerals in the ore.Web
