Tin mining activities in Nigeria started in 1904 at the Jos Plateau (Fig. 1) By the mid-1920s more cassiterite and columbite discoveries were made resulting in a greater demand for more mechanized extraction techniques. This resulted in the removal of considerable amounts of soils and generated radioactive waste referred to as tailings.

Columbite has the same composition and crystal symmetry (orthorombic) as tantalite. In fact, the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral series called columbite-tantalite or coltan in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much greater specific gravity than columbite, more than 8.0 compared to columbite's 5.2.

Coltan is also produced in Thailand and Malaysia as a by-product of tin mining and smelting; Mining in Congo: Approximately 80% of the world's supply of Coltan is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Coltan is mined by hand in the Congo. Their methods are very similar to how gold was mined in California during the 1800s.
