Recent Developments
In The Tantalum Markets
• Growing Demand from New Technologies
(ie. Lithium-ion battery)
• Restrictions on Product from Conflict Regions
US odd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Jul 2010)
Requires all US-listed companies to with the SEC an annual report stating
that they do not source tantalum from conflict areas
Result: Withdrawal of large portion of supply from already tight market
• Upward Price Pressure Continues
• Long term: Market requires additional production from new projects
