Zircon, also known as zircon silicate (ZrSiO4), is found in ancient mineral sand deposits. In the form of crystal sands, zircon is typically brown, but could also vary from colourless to yellow-golden, pink and red to blue and green.
The majority of zircon sand is mined in the African continent particularly Nigeria. Current annual global production is in excess of one million tonnes. Almost half of the zircon produced globally is consumed by China, with other significant consuming regions including Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and India.
With our robust warehouse in Lagos the Southern part of Nigeria we can export 1000MT of this product per month.
Baryte is generally white or colorless, and is the main source of barium. Barite is found in the southern parts of India. It is extracted by both surface and underground mining.
It is non-toxic and physically and chemically non-reactive. It is available in hydrous form as well as lumps.

Zinc ore is most commonly found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), known as calamine or smithsonite. It generally occurs as rounded, crystalline crusts or granular, honeycombed masses that have a vitreous or pearly luster and are typically dirty brown or grey in colour.
Nigeria is richly blessed with large deposits of Zinc ore in Ebonyi and Benue state. We can export top quality of this product in 1000-1500MT every month.
Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.
It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
Nigeria is one of the Africa countries with abundant lead natural resources deposits and minerals. Lead is a metallic element primarily produced from the mineral, galena.
Most mineral ore contains lead with only about 3 of these minerals commercially viable, they are galena, cerussite, and anglesite and are mostly found in conjunction with other metals like zinc and silver. We have the capacity to supply more than 1000MT monthly.
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.

Copper ore is a naturally occurring mineral rock that contains copper in varying concentrations. It's extracted from the earth through mining and then processed to produce copper concentrate, which is further refined to produce pure copper.
## Types of Copper Ore
1. Sulfide ores: These ores contain copper in the form of sulfide minerals, such as chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), bornite (Cu5FeS4), and chalcocite (Cu2S).
2. Oxide ores: These ores contain copper in the form of oxide minerals, such as cuprite (Cu2O), tenorite (CuO), and malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2).
3. Native copper: This type of ore contains copper in its native form, often found in quartz veins or other igneous rocks.
## Copper Ore Deposits
1. Porphpyry copper deposits: These deposits are formed through magmatic-hydrothermal processes and are characterized by large, low-grade copper deposits.
2. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits: These deposits are formed through volcanic activity and are characterized by high-grade copper deposits.
3. Sedimentary copper deposits: These deposits are formed through sedimentary processes and are characterized by low-grade copper deposits.
## Major Copper-Producing Countries
1. Chile: The world's largest copper producer, accounting for approximately 30% of global production.
2. Peru: The second-largest copper producer in South America.
3. Australia: A significant copper producer, with major mines in Western Australia.
4. United States: Copper is mined in several states, including Arizona, Utah, and Montana.
5. China: A major copper producer and consumer, with significant mining and smelting operations.
Uses of Copper Ore
1. Copper production: Copper ore is processed to produce copper concentrate, which is then refined to produce pure copper.
2. Electrical applications: Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, making it a crucial material for electrical wiring, circuits, and electronic devices.
3. Construction and architecture: Copper is used in building construction, including roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems.
4. Industrial machinery and equipment: Copper is used in the production of various industrial machinery and equipment, including motors, generators, and transformers.
Copper concentrate is a product of copper mining and processing. It's a powder or granular material containing a high percentage of copper, typically produced through flotation or other beneficiation processes.
Copper concentrate typically contains:
1. Copper (Cu)
2. Other minerals like iron, sulfur, and silica
Uses:
1. Smelting and refining to produce pure copper
2. Production of copper alloys and compounds
Major producers:
1. Chile
2. Peru
3. Australia
4. United States
