Columbita-tantalita, también conocido como coltán, es un mineral metálico negro de la cual se extrae el tántalo y el niobio elementos.
Con sede en Massachusetts, REE International, Inc. se está posicionando para estar a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos de los Estados Unidos para liberarse de la dependencia de China de tierras raras necesarias.
Actualmente, China tiene el monopolio de elementos de tierras raras (REE) - los minerales y metales utilizados en los productos desde iPods a material de defensa - que está generando preocupaciones en todo el mundo.
Algunos temen que China va a nivelar las prohibiciones de exportación durante los conflictos como el que supuestamente hizo a principios de este año contra Japón.
Otros están preocupados por la amenaza potencial de seguridad representada por el virtual monopolio de China sobre la importancia estratégica de REE.
US Company acquires 44 square-mile plot in Kaituma
…. to explore
for rare minerals used in electronics
REE International, Inc. a US-Based mineral exploration company focused
on China has a 97% monopoly on rare earth production,
key in the making of parts for products from iPods to defense materials.
‘rare earth elements,’ has announced the acquisition of a rare earth
property in Port Kaituma, Region One.
REE International recently received approval to conduct business in
Guyana by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, a Market watch statement
said yesterday.
The newly acquired property covers 44 square miles with over 200
concessions.
“According to initial estimates by the Guyana Geology and Mines
Commission done in 2009, the initial estimates of Columbite-Tantalite believed
to be in the ground are in excess of US$10M at today’s prices.”
Columbite-Tantalite, also known as coltan, is a black metallic ore from
which the elements tantalum and niobium are extracted.
Tantalum is used to manufacture electronic capacitors for consumer
electronic products such as mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems, and
computers.
Niobium is used mostly in alloys, but is also used in electronic circuits and other applications.
“We are pleased to add this property to our portfolio,” stated Tom Mackay, CEO of REE International.
“We believe this acquisition will increase our value as a company significantly.”

The statement said that REE International, Inc. is a U.S.-based mineral
exploration company seeking to identify and build an inventory of mineral
properties with a primary emphasis on South America.
The company will initially focus on the exploration, mining and sale of
tantalum and niobium from their Santa Cruz property located in Venezuela.
REE International, Inc. is an innovative and aggressive US based exploration
and Development Company.
Headquartered in Massachusetts, REE International, Inc. is positioning
itself to be at the forefront of the United States efforts to free itself from
the reliance of China for necessary rare earths.
REE International, Inc. holds the rights to a 778 acre property located
in Santa Cruz, Venezuela. South America is known as one of the world’s
tantalum richest areas and says it is fast becoming a leader in the exploration
and development of these vital rare earths, the company’s website said.
China currently has a monopoly over rare earth elements (REE) – minerals
and metals used in products from iPods to defense material – which is raising
concerns around the world.
Some fear China will level exportation bans during disputes like it
allegedly did earlier this year against Japan.
Others are concerned about the potential security threat represented by China’s virtual monopoly over the strategically important REE.

There are concerns that China will reduce output of REE to artificially
inflate prices, instead of environmental reasons as it purports, which is an
abuse of its immense market power and a violation of World Trade Organisation
rules.
China has market dominance; it controls 97 per cent of the world’s REE supply.

Esequiba - Zona en Reclamación MARNR Servicio Autónomo de Geografía y Cartografía Nacional 3 Edición
Nota del editor del blog: Al
referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta
los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con
el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de
Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.
Territorios estos sobre los
cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se
reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota
del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana .
“...por lo tanto, Venezuela
reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen
derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se
reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se
encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el
territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva
expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana,
a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta
su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
