Nigeria’s critical minerals opportunity
What investors and licence holders should weigh as global demand for energy-transition minerals grows.
Helping Nigeria’s solid minerals sector grow responsibly
Nigeria has deposits of gold, lithium, lead-zinc, barite, tin and many other minerals, much of it still underexplored. Government policy is pushing to grow the sector, formalise artisanal mining and encourage processing within the country.
Turning that potential into productive, investable operations takes more than geology. Licence holders and investors need strong governance, credible financial models and real partnership with host communities. We help them build each of these.
Global demand for battery and energy-transition minerals has put lithium and similar resources in the spotlight. Investors are looking closely at Nigerian assets. Those who can show clear title, data and governance will attract the most interest.
We support licence holders, investors, processors and public bodies across the mining life cycle. From early exploration to production and exports, we bring financial, tax, regulatory and ESG expertise to help you build operations that last.
We help you understand your obligations under the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act and related regulations. Our work includes compliance reviews, licence governance and preparing for regulatory engagement.
