Magnum Mining and Exploration Limited

Magnum’s current focus is the Tantalite Valley project, located near Karasburg and Warmbad, within the Magisterial district of Karas in southern Namibia. The Tantalite Valley project is located on Mining Licence 77 and contains numerous rare-metal pegmatites. The tantalum minerals occur within carbonatite and alkaline rocks known as pegmatites. Rich concentrations of Tantalum minerals occur predominantly within rocks known as pegmatites. The most important mineral is tantalite (Fe,Mn) Ta205 often associated with columbite.Tantalite is commonly associated with tin and, historically, a significant percentage of world production of tantalite was as a by-product of tin smelting coupled with the reworking of old dumps associated with tin mining and smelting operations. As the majority of these resources are exhausted, the mining of tantalite rich pegmatite deposits is an increasingly important source of supply.
