Documentary summary of the country's situation with respect to Beryllium, Cesium,Columbium,Germanium,Hafnium, Rare Earths, Tantallum, Titanium, Yttrium and Zirconium : submitted by the Government of the Republic of the Congo

Abstract

The Economic Commission for Africa drew the attention of the Directorate of Mines and Geology in the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville) to the interest that the development of the new metals indicated-above could generate. This documentary summary merely gives a picture of what is currently known about the position of these minerals in the country. As this knowledge has not been obtained through intensive research activities, specifically oriented towards economic possibilities, it is therefore impossible to discuss either the importance of reserves or the possibilities of exploitation.
