  • China makes breakthrough in utilizing niobium resources

    2025-01-14 14:49:51   [Print]
    China has achieved a breakthrough in the efficient utilization of niobium resources, unlocking the economic potential of nearly 929,000 tonnes of niobium ore at a large-scale niobium-rare earth deposit in Miaoya, Hubei, according to the China Geological Survey.

    The newly developed separation technologies improved the niobium content in the ores from 5%-8% to 17% and increased the recovery rate from 20% to 50%, while also enabling the extraction of associated rare earth elements, which significantly boosts the niobium supply in China.

    This key technology breakthrough and application will provide an economical and feasible technical path for the utilization of low grade niobium resources in China and further ensures the country's self-reliance and security in niobium resources.
