Tantalum Holding Ltd (ex-owner)

Tantalum Holding Ltd is a former holding entity associated with the corporate lineage of the Steenkampskraal rare-earth and thorium project in South Africa’s Western Cape province. Listed as an ex-owner of the high-grade monazite deposit, the privately held company sat among the chain of holding structures that controlled the Steenkampskraal asset before ownership passed through Canada’s Great Western Minerals Group and, later, the Thorium Foundation and Steenkampskraal Holdings Ltd. The Steenkampskraal orebody it was tied to is recognised as one of the world’s highest-grade sources of rare-earth elements, including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium and yttrium, alongside significant thorium mineralisation. As a legacy ownership vehicle rather than an active operator, Tantalum Holding Ltd is documented primarily for its historical role in the development of this strategic South African rare-earth deposit.

No official, company or trade-press source was found for this entity’s head office or its place in an ownership chain. REEx’s own Africa archive lists Tantalum Holding Ltd as a former owner of Glenover rather than Steenkampskraal. The record is kept as a historical entry.
