WHYDoes Korea need this wonderful mineral?

SHIP BUILDINGOne of the largest industries of Korea Since 2007,

China sup-pressed Korea

Ship Building

US Geological Survey Office published a special report on top eleven materials which can seriously affect US economy in future in 2009 : NIOBIUM was included as one.

Korea Samsung Economy Research has also published a report on scarce materi-als including niobium in 2010

zymes breathing disorders,

paralyzing liver and kidneys, and causing DNA alteration

Mineral itself There are no re-

ported harm to envi-ronment and human body
