In Africa, the tantalum industry suffers from lack of smelting and processing plants to separate tantalum from niobium. These metals are thus sold together as concentrates of tantalum minerals but only the value of Ta 2 O 5 contained is paid for. Tantalum and niobium are not traded on any metal exchange as there is no official price.
