Our proven flow sheet includes rough concentration and fine selection, optimized for each deposit’s unique characteristics.

Key Processing Methods:

✔ Gravity Separation – Primary rough concentration for liberated alluvial ore (density >4g/cm³)
✔ Magnetic & Electrostatic Separation – Fine-tuning of rough concentrates
✔ Flotation – Enhanced recovery for challenging compositions

Typical Composition:

• Ta₂O₅: 35-45%

• Nb₂O₅: 4-6%

• Fe₂O₃: 8-12%
