Anyone know of any tantalum-focused miners?

Tantalum is my roughie for the next 'it' metal.

Amongst other reasons is the current crackdown on the slave/blood mining of tantalum in Congo.

Used in all mobile devices iphones, laptops, ipads etc, population ever-expanding and mobile devices being turned over at increasing rates as technology continues to develop.

Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor component in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum, but its main use today is in tantalum capacitors in electronic equipment such as mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems and computers. Tantalum, always together with the chemically similar niobium, occurs in the minerals tantalite, columbite and coltan (a mix of columbite and tantalite).
