Three mineral types of the columbite group have been revealed at the Kester Deposit (Eastern Yakutia), that is, columbite- (Fe), columbite- (Mn) and tantalite- (Mn), which are part of rare-metal granites, ongonites, albitites, and greisens. Columbite- (Mn) prevails: Ta/ (Ta + Nb) = 0.30, and Mn/ (Mn + Fe) = 0.64.

Abstract. Columbite–tantalite (Coltan) is the most important niobium (Nb)- and tantalum (Ta)-bearing economic mineral, commonly occurring in rare metal granite and pegmatite, alkaline granite, syenite and carbonatite. Its high U but low common Pb contents make it an ideal mineral for U–Pb isotopic dating of Nb–Ta mineralization.
