This reddish-brown monazite of ours is largely found in sand in many parts of north central and northeastern Nigeria. The hard and resistant thorium-rich phosphate mineral contains important rare-earth elements such as cerium and lanthanum with formula Ce,La,Th)PO4.
This soft but silvery-white metal is an alkali metal with symbol Li. Our high grade lithium has high calorific capacity, low viscosity, high thermic conductivity and very low density give you the opportunity for many industrial use.
In addition to the rising needs for its battery production, lithium and its compound have many other industrial applications which include in the manufacturing of lithium grease, high resistant glasses and ceramics, flux additives for iron, steel and aluminum production.
Galena is the shiny gray, heavy metallic sulphide (PbS) from which our lead ore is sourced. The ore of the lead element is found in some parts of northern Nigeria. Lead element which has an atomic number of 82 and symbol Pb is a very soft, blue-gray, metallic element.
Our lead has been used for many industrial purposes which may include manufacturing of car batteries, pigments, cable sheathing, radiation protection, lead crystal glass, weights for lifting, weights belt for diving as well as for storing corrosive liquids and we can serve as the one-stop point for your lead needs.
Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal which tarnishes in air. It is brittle and crystalline at room temperatures but become ductile and malleable when heated to certain temperature. Zinc metal has high heat capacity and conductivity.
The zinc ore which is found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO3) is a crystalline crust that has a vitreous luster and gray in colour. Our zinc mineral is found in Bauchi state and parts of Plateau state and it has been used for many metal products, rubber and medicines.
