Strategic Minerals & Geological Profiles
Explore our mineral concessions, production capacities, and commercial grades backed by verified federal mining leases.
Lithium (Spodumene & Lepidolite)
Lithium is the cornerstone mineral powering the global clean energy revolution, electric vehicles (EVs), and high-capacity battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Bakobabs controls licensed pegmatite-hosted lithium deposits across Kwara State. Our extraction protocols target both high-grade spodumene and lepidolite ore bodies, crushed and aggregated for off-take to global chemical converters and battery material processors.
Gold (Alluvial & Primary Quartz Veins)
Nigeria's schist belts host significant auriferous quartz vein deposits and rich placer alluvial deposits along drainage basins.
Bakobabs conducts dual-method gold recovery: active alluvial gravel washing using sluicing circuits and riverbed panning, alongside deep trenching and pit excavation targeting primary high-grade gold quartz reefs under valid Mining Cadastre Office leases.
Tin Ore (Cassiterite - SnO₂)
Cassiterite is the principal ore of tin, essential for microchip solder, solar photovoltaic ribbons, food-grade tinplating, and specialized bronze/brass alloys.
Our concessions yield high specific gravity tin concentrates, mined through placer gravel classification and pegmatite extraction, cleanly bagged and certified for export to international smelters.
Columbite & Tantalite (Coltan)
Columbite (yielding Niobium) and Tantalite (yielding Tantalum) represent critical raw materials for modern computing, smartphone capacitors, jet engine turbine blades, and MRI medical machines.
Bakobabs operates dedicated lease acreage covering columbite-bearing pegmatites in Yagba, Kogi State, delivering consistent, ethically sourced ore batches.
Coal, Feldspar, Mica & Tourmaline
Our broader operations encompass large-scale industrial minerals that drive domestic manufacturing and international processing:
- Coal: Thermal and metallurgical coal deposits suitable for heavy kilns, steam generation, and smelting.
- Feldspar: Premium potassium and sodium feldspar for ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, and container glass.
- Mica (Sheet & Flake): Outstanding dielectric insulation for electrical switchgear and heat barriers.
- Tourmaline & Precious Stones: Vivid gem-quality crystals for high-end lapidary faceting and export.
Heavy Equipment & Field Infrastructure
Modern mining demands dependable mechanical assets. We deploy commercial earthmovers, high-pressure washing circuits, and engineered containment facilities.
Caterpillar Earthmovers
Heavy tracked excavators for benching, overburden removal, trenching, and bulk ore extraction across our Kwara and Kogi sites.
Lined Leaching & Water Reservoirs
Engineered geomembrane tarpaulins, pumping arrays, and drainage channels ensuring closed-loop water circulation and environmental containment.
Heavy Freight Logistics Fleet
Dedicated haulage trucks moving bagged ores from remote extraction pits to aggregation centres, railheads, and seaport export berths.
Minerals Ore Buying Centre & Site Partnerships
Connecting artisanal miners, site owners, and concession operators with certified off-take, fair weighing, and immediate liquidity.
"We Buy All Types of Mineral Ore"
Bakobabs Investment Limited operates an accredited, accessible Minerals Ore Buying Centre created to establish fair, dependable trade channels for local miners across Nigeria.
Whether you produce small bags of panned gold, bulk lithium spodumene, high-density cassiterite, or columbite, our buying desk guarantees transparent transactions.
Facilitating Local & Foreign Mining Investment
Helping international capital navigate the Nigerian mining landscape safely, compliantly, and profitably.
Complete Turnkey Support for Mining Investors
Entering the Nigerian mining market requires deep local knowledge, verified cadastral boundaries, and thorough community engagement. Bakobabs serves as the trusted on-ground partner for foreign joint ventures and private equity mining investors.
