Production and General information about niobium
Mining
Over 80% of extraction of niobium in the world is accounted for by Brazil. Rich deposits are found in Canada and Nigeria. For industrial production have a value of two major mineral is columbite and pyrochlore. The main difficulty lies in the separation of niobium from tantalum (compounds which have similar properties).
