Nigeria is richly endowed with a variety of Natural Resources raging from precious metals various stones to industrial such as Barites, Gypsum, Kaolin and Marble. Most of these are yet to be exploited. Statistically, the level of exploitation of these minerals is very low in relation to the extent of deposit found in the country.
With greater government support and a growing role as a generator of export earnings, Nigeria’s mining sector is poised to maximise its considerable potential in precious metals and gems. Total revenue from the sector is expected to rise by 25% to N3.6bn ($8.5m) in 2023, reflecting its resilience, as well as continued federal and state.
