MOTZFELDT: TARGETING STRATEGIC METALS
☐
Niobium
(Nb₂05)
Used for lightweight,
resistant, super alloys
Exceptional resistance
Niobium-bearing steel
used in many industries:
Oil & gas pipelines,
nuclear reactors,
satellites, cars ($9 worth
of niobium reduces car
weight by 100kg and
improves fuel efficiency
by 5%)
Projected CAGR of
5.90% during 2019-2024

◉
Tantalum
(Ta₂05)
Twice tensile strength of
high-strength steels
Electrical
superconductor, critical
component in electrical
capacitors
60% produced in
Rwanda/DRC
US Dodd-Frank Act and
EU conflict minerals laws
strengthen non-conflict
mineral countries as
sources of Tantalum
Roskill: Tantalum
demand to grow at 4-5%
pa to 2028
Zirconium
(ZrO2)
Very strong and malleable
metal
Lighter than steel,
extremely resistant to
heat and corrosion
Nuclear reactors (90% of
demand), component in
abrasives and hardening
agent in alloys, especially
steel.
USA and Australia account
for 67% of worldwide
production
