In the 1970s, Falconbridge Exploration Inc. discovered three carbonatites about 30km north of Ditau, one of which is reported to have contained elevated grades of niobium. Carbonatites are the principal source of rare earth elements (REEs) including the much sought-after elements Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr), which are used in the manufacture of the new generation of electric vehicles (EVs), magnets and other high-tech applications.
