Unknown to the general public until the publication
of the UN experts’ report which
cites it extensively among the Congolese
riches currently plundered by Rwanda and Uganda,
niobium has been exploited semi-clandestinely
for three decades.
No statistics, no figures have ever been made
public.
The revenues generated by the sale of niobium
have never supplied the Congolese public treasury
and this ore does not appear on the official list
of the nomenclature of metals exploited in
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Operating infrastructure has been reduced
We must rely on indiscretions to learn that
this ore has been extracted and marketed
since 1972 on an experimental basis and that
an American firm was already exploiting it before
the war of aggression by shipping it by plane
from the place of extraction to Kivu to the port
of Mombasa from where he was boarded
boats for the United States.
Due to their great chemical diversity, they have numerous technological applications, such as ionic conduction, neutralization of nuclear waste, high temperature protective coatings, solid oxide batteries, ionic and electrical conductors.
pyrochlore is the mineral par excellence
DDS mines and consulting is a privileged partner of the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the largest producer of pyrochlore in the world. we support you on the production site and throughout the entire procedure of acquiring this precious ore, many large Chinese firms are in the race for the precious ore.
