Equation (6) schematically represents the substitution ofSn2C>4 by (Fe, Mn)WO<, a wolframite molecule. In this case the W/(Fe + Mn) atomic ratio is expected to be unity. With very few exceptions this ratio has not been found an- alytically (Fig. 4). However, if wolframite with its Fe2"1' is included, the excess Fe must be trivalent (Fig. 1 ).

Tantalum and niobium mineralization is associated with the peraluminous granites that are characterized by a fluorine enrichment and extensive post-magmatic alteration. In Mongolia and the neighboring part of Russia (Transbaikalia), most promising among these rocks are so-called lithium-fluorine Li-F) granites.

The main types of cassiterite are cassiterite quartz veins and cassiterite sulfide ore, with a small amount of associated quartz vein type wolframite. There was granitization, silicification, and pyritization of the main wall rocks. The main metal mines in the area are cassiterite, niobium iron ore, copper, lead and zinc mines.

Summary. Niobium and tantalum do not occur naturally as free metals. The charge to ionic ratio of tantalum and niobium results in strong bonds being formed with oxygen; in fact, most niobium–tantalum minerals are oxides, rather than silicates, sulfides or phosphates. Three types of niobium and tantalum deposits are: carbonatite-hosted ...
