Lithium ore is an element valuable for the production of glass, aluminum products, and batteries.
It is mined from ores of petalite (LiAl(Si2O5), lepidolite K(Li,Al) (Al,Si,Rb)4O10(F,OH), and spodumene LiAl(SiO3)2 and also subsurface brines. Nigeria is one of the world's largest producers of lithium.
With our large solid mineral storage facility in Lagos Nigeria we can supply 500-1000 metric ton of this product per month to China.
Bauxite, an aluminium ore, is the world’s main source of aluminium. It consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore, mixed with the two iron oxides goethite and haematite.
We source high quality Ores and Others that are majorly used in numerous of Industries for diverse uses. The wide collection of Mineral Ores is free from impurities and rich in other essential features. Our esteemed client’s can avail the wide gamut of Mineral Ores at very pocket friendly price.

Color: Varies from white, gray, greenish, yellowish, or pinkish, depending on the ore type.
Luster: Vitreous to pearly.
Transparency: Opaque to translucent.
Density & Specific Gravity:
Spodumene: Perfect cleavage in two directions
Lepidolite: Perfect basal cleavage
Petalite: Perfect cleavage in one direction
Amblygonite: Good cleavage in one direction
Tenacity:
White or colorless for most lithium ores.
Magnetism & Conductivity:
Non-magnetic.
Poor electrical and thermal conductor.
Reactivity:
Lithium ores are stable under normal conditions but react with strong acids to release lithium ions.
Additional Notes:
Spodumene is the most commercially important lithium ore due to its high lithium content (~5-8% LiO).
Lepidolite is a significant source of lithium but contains a lower lithium concentration (~3-5% LiO).
Petalite is valued for its low iron content, making it useful for ceramic and glass applications.
Amblygonite has lower economic significance but contains both lithium and phosphorus.
