In 2022, the country planned to produce 251.3 tonnes of tantalite, while in 2021 it extracted just 178.5 tonnes and in 2020 just over 209 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of tantalite production up to the first half of 2023 stood at 51% of what had been planned and is expected to continue on the same trend until December,\u201d explains the government in the same report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 2024, a growth rate of 7% is expected, largely due to the high production levels of licence 724C of the Highland African Mining Company (HAMC), the largest producer of this mineral in the country,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n<p>HAMC signed a concession agreement in 2002 to exploit this mineral in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>Tantalite is a mineral made up of niobium and tantalum, sought after for its application in the electronics industry, in mobile phones and capacitors, due to its resistance to heat and other properties.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Mozambican government expects growth of 18.6% in the extractive industry in 2024, influenced by the \u201cincrease in production of most minerals with great weight in the global structure\u201d, namely gold, heavy sands, graphite and thermal coal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
