The price of the tantalite is very much dependent on the demand as well. The price of tantalite ore rose from about $75 per kilo in 2010 to more than $270 per kilo on 2011 and 2012. But the price has dropped since then. However, some experts point to expected growth in the electronics, aerospace, and power industry to boost the price …Web
