Four core minerals. One standard.

We mine and process four minerals from the Nigerian tin belt, each with a defined industrial destination. Every consignment we sell is traceable to a licensed, documented origin.

Tin

Cassiterite

Electronics solder, alloys, packaging

Columbite

Source of niobium

Structural steel, aerospace, superconductors

Tantalite

Source of tantalum

Capacitors, medical implants, superalloys

Zircon

Zirconium silicate

Ceramics, refractories, zirconium metal

Beyond these four

Tin, columbite, tantalite and zircon are our core focus, but they are not the whole of what Kaduna’s ground holds. The same tin belt carries rare earth elements and lithium, both of which we are exploring, and we expect the list to grow as we assess the ground further.

Why origin matters

Tantalum and niobium carry a difficult global reputation. Years of association with conflict financing in central Africa have left buyers in electronics and aerospace under real pressure to prove where their material originated, and increasingly unable to buy what they cannot trace.

Nigeria can answer that question.Read how we do it →
