· Some of these pegmatites have coltan mineralization. Quartztin mineralization occurred at ~940 Ma and its associated hydrothermal activity altered pegmatites intensely [17]. Columbite, tantalite and local cassiterite and wolframite are mined both from deeply weathered pegmatites and from secondary placer deposits derived from the pegmatites.
