Investing in the Future
Projects
Our commitment to growth and sustainability is reflected in our diverse portfolio of projects across mineral-rich regions. Each project is strategically selected and developed to maximize resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
In Jos, Plateau State, our operations concentrate on the exploration and extraction of tin, columbite, zircon sand, and monazite—four critical minerals essential to the electronics, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The region’s rich mineral deposits make it an ideal location for sustainable mining activities.
Our project here is designed to optimize the extraction processes for both tin and columbite, ensuring the delivery of high-purity products that meet the exacting standards of our clients. This project contributes to global supply chains while also supporting local economies through job creation and infrastructure development.
The Kwara-Oyo region is home to our flagship lithium project, where we hold seven licenses across an expansive area. A technical report summary completed by Aurifer Resources in January 2023 highlights the region’s excellent exploration potential.
Our efforts here are focused on advancing lithium extraction to support the growing demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage markets.
As one of the largest documented holders of lithium spodumene assets in Africa, this project positions us as a key player in the global lithium supply chain.
The Udege area in Nassarawa State is renowned for its abundant mineral resources. Our zircon sand and monazite project taps into this potential, supplying high-quality zircon sand and monazite to industries worldwide. This project is focused on the sustainable extraction and processing of these critical minerals, which are essential for the ceramics, foundry, high-tech consumer products, and nuclear industries.
Monazite, a rare earth element, also plays a significant role defense applications such as guidance systems, lasers, radar, and sonar systems. By employing advanced mining and processing techniques, we ensure that our products meet the highest industry standards. This project is a key component of our strategy to diversify our product offerings and strengthen our position as a leading supplier of critical minerals.
