Who we are
Most operators hand a mineral off three or four times between the ground and the buyer. We don't. Ayotaye controls every stage, which is how we hold quality, keep margin in the business, and give partners a single, accountable point of contact.
Licensed prospecting and geological survey across Nigeria's mineral belts.
Open-pit and hard-rock mining under strict HSE and community agreements.
Crushing, milling, gravity and density separation to export grade.
Off-take structuring, assay certification and price benchmarking.
Documentation, logistics and delivery to buyers around the world.
Portfolio
A diversified book across battery metals, industrial ores, gemstones and industrial minerals, sourced from proven Nigerian deposits and processed in-house.
Precious metal
Alluvial and hard-rock gold, gravity-recovered and refined for bullion and jewellery markets.
Battery metal
Hard-rock spodumene concentrate feeding the global EV and energy-storage supply chain.
Strategic ore
Tantalum concentrate, the backbone of high-reliability capacitors and aerospace alloys.
Industrial ore
High-purity cassiterite from the Jos Plateau belt for solder, plating and electronics.
Precious stone
Beryl of gem quality from Nigeria's northern pegmatites, sorted and graded by parcel.
Base metal
Galena concentrate from Nigeria's central sulphide corridor, low in impurities.
Production
Every bar we pour is weighed under camera and assayed independently before it leaves the gate. These are our own recoveries, photographed at the moment of weighing.
Operations
Live sites across four states, each with its own licence, community agreement and processing line.
Our longest-running operation, working alluvial and eluvial ground on a belt with more than a century of recorded tin production.
Hard-rock spodumene extraction and on-site concentration in one of Nigeria's richest pegmatite fields.
A sulphide concession on the Benue trough corridor, with a flotation plant now under commissioning.
A systematic exploration programme across the pegmatite fields of the south-west.
For investors & partners
We structure joint ventures and project-level investment around producing and near-producing assets, not speculation.
What partners receive
Adeoti Michael Ayo
Managing Director & Chief Executive
“Nigeria has never lacked minerals. What it has lacked is operators willing to own every step, and answer for it. That is the company we built.”
From a single licensed site to an integrated exploration-to-export operation, our discipline has stayed the same: mine responsibly, process to a grade the world market respects, and keep our word to partners and host communities alike.
Careers
Geologists, plant engineers, HSE leads, logistics and trade specialists. We hire people who want the whole picture, not a narrow slot.
