Dear Lola

There have been a number of tantalum companies that have projects. I am most familiar with Canadain tantalum market. First Narrows (UNO) on the CDNX www.firstnarrows.com has 1 property in BC and 6 properties in NWT. the pricing for tantalum has risen from 20 dollars US a pound to 400 dollars a pounds. Of course it will not stay that high as i perdict it should level off around 100 to 150 a pound US.

Tantalum is also used in the NASA shuttles as heat resisters and it is also mixed with alloys to create heat and rust resistant components like surgury plates and for vehicles.

No one really knows the size of the tantalum market but there is a world wide shortage and they has not been a substuiute foujd that can mimic the properties of tantalum.

As to the stock price one company Linear Resources stock has almost doubles since they annouced there tantalum property without any Geophsical drilling
