Highly fractionated granites and rare-metal mineralization
The tantalite patches/rims around the columbite grains crystallized from a Ta- and F-rich hydrosilicate melt in a magmatic-hydrothermal transitional stage. The Cretaceous Baerzhe peralkaline A-type granite pluton in the eastern part of the central Asian orogenic belt (CAOB) is extremely enriched in REE and HFSE.

Episodic Nb–Ta mineralisation in South China: Constraints from
From core to rim, CGM crystals vary from columbite-(Mn) to tantalite-(Fe), recording magmatic fractionation. The Gaoling quartz vein contains homogenous CGM crystals that yield low Ta concentrations ( Figs. 2 and 3 c), likely reflecting the action of a hydrothermal fluid, as Nb has a low solubility and is fluid-mobile ( Linnen et al., 2014 ).

Effects of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) mining activities on water
The mining of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) has a negative effect on the different spheres of the environment notably; hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere (Eisler 2004). Just like gold mining, COLTAN extraction involves the breaking of crystallographic bond in the mineral ore to get the products in the pure form.
