The Blue River Tantalum-Niobium Project
About Us
Global Strategic Significance
The Blue River Project is historically (2013) the largest cash-positive tantalum production scenario in the world.
Capacitor Metals Corp. is positioning to be one of the lowest cost tantalum-niobium producers globally, with a specific focus on being a long-term supplier of tantalum and niobium to the global market.
About Tantalum
Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant and durable metal commonly used in the electronics industry, particularly in the production of capacitors and high-performance resistors found in smartphones, laptops, and other digital devices.
Its excellent heat and electrical conductivity make it ideal for these applications.
Beyond electronics, tantalum is crucial in the manufacturing of high-performance alloys used in aerospace and turbine engines, as well as in medical implants and surgical instruments due to its biocompatibility.
About Niobium
Niobium is primarily used in alloys, with the largest share going into special steel production, such as that required for gas pipelines.
Its temperature stability makes niobium-containing superalloys essential for jet and rocket engines.
Additionally, niobium plays a key role in superconducting materials, which are widely used in the magnets of MRI scanners.
Beyond these applications, niobium is also utilized in welding, the nuclear industry, electronics, optics, numismatics, and jewelry.
The Blue River Project
The Blue River Project, led by Capacitor Blue River Corp., focuses on exploring and developing tantalum and niobium resources in British Columbia, Canada.
Extensive historical exploration has confirmed significant deposits of these critical metals, which are essential for high-tech applications in electronics, aerospace, and superalloys.
As the project advances, it aims to meet growing global demand and support key technological and industrial sectors.
