As an international association the T.I.C. is not allowed to gather data on nor discuss prices, forecasting or future trends, as this would be against our Charter and may raise antitrust and competition law concerns.

It is important to understand that there are no official prices for tantalum or niobium commodities. These metals are not traded on any metal exchange and the price is determined solely by negotiation between buyer and seller.

Some reference prices may be found in the metals industry press, but please note that the T.I.C. does not verify or monitor such information and therefore it cannot assume any responsibility or to be held liable in any way in relation to such information.

Lists of metals industry press and a description of how to calculate the value of tantalum or niobium raw materials are available here.
