Coltan | Earth Sciences Museum | University of Waterloo
Coltan is short for columbite-tantalite, a dull metallic ore. When refined, coltan becomes a heat resistant powder, metallic tantalum, which has unique properties for storing electrical charge. Coltan occurs in granitic pegmatites, pockets where the deep seated molten rock crystallized last. Pegmatites contain many rare metals, as well as

Mining, from The Report: Nigeria 2016-Oxford Business Group
During the 1970s Nigeria had a prosperous, export-orientated mining industry. Before the discovery of oil, the West African nation had developed strong production operations for coal, tin and columbite. The discovery of hydrocarbons eclipsed these activities and relegated mining to an economic footnote. However, with the recent decline in the global
Columbite Ore Mineral Deposits in Nigeria with their Locations
Columbite is a black, crystalline mineral group, and the main ore of niobium which is also called columbate, niobite, and niobite-tantalite [ (Fe, Mn)Nb2O6], it is also a niobate of iron and manganese. It is found in granite, pegmatites, and placer deposits together with tantalite, but has less density. Columbite has the same mineral structure

Zaraisky et al. (2010) determined the solubility of Ta 2 O 5 and Ta-bearing columbite in F− -, Cl − -, HCO 3− -, and CO 32 − -bearing solutions at 300–550 °C. The presence of F − increased the solubility of both phases by several orders of magnitude, indicating formation of F- or OH–F-bearing aqueous complexes.
