Development of mineralogical and geochemical exploration techniques for carbonatite-related Nb (±Ta) and REE deposits in the Canadian Cordillera

Development of mineralogical and geochemical exploration techniques for carbonatite-related Nb (±Ta) and REE deposits in the Canadian Cordillera

Niobium and rare earth elements (REE) are considered as strategic metals in industrialised countries, and are mainly derived from carbonatite-related deposits. Indicator mineral methods for carbonatites using of portable XRF and Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron Microscopy (Q...
