Niobium and tantalum have high melting points, i.e. 2415 °C and 2996 °C, respectively. These two metals along with titanium, zirconium, tungsten and molybdenum are known as refractory metals, with melting points in the range of 1800–3000 °C. Some of them are used in the manufacture of jet engines and guided missiles.

The ore-samples were classified as low-grade and non-radioactive ores as they contained less than 0.1% Ta2O5 and Nb2O5, and the percentage of radioactive oxides were below the critical value of 0.5%.
The successful beneficiation of tantalum and niobium ores may vary significantly. Its success normally depends on the physiochemical properties of the ore, such as the pres-ence of radioactive materials, its response to a magnetic field (removal of magnetic particles), the Ta and Nb con-tents, and the nature of the ore.
