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
· Apart from this deviating sample, at the Wodgina pegmatite a narrow age range from 2870 to 2850 Ma is observed for the formation of the Ta–Nb–Sn oxide minerals (Dittrich 2016; Dittrich et al. 2017 ). This age span is roughly within the range of the world first minor LCT pegmatite formation event at 2850 to 2800 Ma.

Mining industry of Nigeria-Wikipedia
The mining of minerals in Nigeria accounts for only 0.3% of its gross domestic product, due to the influence of its vast oil resources. The domestic mining industry is underdeveloped, leading to Nigeria having to import minerals that it could produce domestically, such as salt or iron ore. The rights to ownership of mineral resources is held by
