Recent restart of lithium and tantalum ore production at the Wodgina mine in Western Australia is a good news for both supply chains. Tantalum is a core element for tantalum capacitors representing around 40% of end use of the tantalum ore. Re-opening of the Wodgina mine support tantalum supply diversity and pose a good foundation for further stability and growth according to Global Advanced Metals (GAM).
