SOLID MINERALS

Nigeria is richly endowed with a variety of solid minerals of various categories ranging from precious metals to various stones and also industrial minerals such as Barytes, Gypsum, Kaolin and Marble. Much of these are yet to be exploited. Statistically, the level of exploitation of these minerals is very low in relation to the extent of deposits found in the country. One of the objectives of the new National Policy on Solid Minerals is to insure the orderly development of the mineral resources of the country.

There are tremendous opportunities for investments in the solid mineral sector in Nigeria. Prospecting licences for investors (both local and foreign) to participate in the exploitation of the vast mineral resources in Nigeria is granted by the Federal Ministry of Solid Minerals.
