  • Values are presented in tonnes, also known as metric tons. One tonne = 1,000 kg, or approximately 2,204.6 lbs.
  • Reserves totals may rise over time as new technologies and techniques make previously impractical deposits financially viable to extract.
  • Tantalum may also be produced as a by-product of mining projects focused upon other materials, such as tin or niobium.
  • Reserves data for some countries known to produce Tantalum were unavailable.
