Potential Partnerships in the Tantalum IndustryOne development which has not seen much press outside of a few channels were the negotiations between Cabot Corp. and the owner of the Wodgina and Greenbushes projects. The reports mentioned that the negotiations centered around Global Advanced acquiring tantalum processor Cabot Corp.'s tantalum processing business. I wonder if this could be a trend in the rare metals markets. We're seeing some consolidation in the REE markets. Will this begin for rare metals such as tantalum and niobium?
Mergers and partnerships coudl really start driving these stocks again.
