About Us

We connect Nigeria’s mineral wealth to global industry.

We source and export raw earth minerals from Nigeria’s deposits to manufacturers, refiners, and industrial buyers worldwide. We work directly with primary mineral holders to move material from the ground to global markets — efficiently, transparently, and in step with export regulations.

We are a trading house, not a broker. We hold the relationships on the ground, we stand behind the assay, and we own the shipment until it reaches your port.

//Where We Source

We work one of Africa’s most mineral-diverse geologies.

Nigeria’s geology spans base metals, battery minerals, and gemstone-grade material across a wide range of deposit types. We work with primary holders on the ground in 16 states and belts to bring that material into the export pipeline — matched to the specifications and volumes industrial buyers actually need.

//How We Operate

Four things we hold to on every order.

01

Quality Control

We assess every shipment against your specifications before it leaves Nigeria, so what arrives matches what you ordered.

02

Regulatory Compliance

We operate within Nigeria's export licensing and trade regulations, keeping documentation and customs processes in order at every stage.

03

Secure Transactions

We work to clear terms, standard trade documentation, and established payment pathways — no surprises once you place an order.

04

Transparent Operations

We tell you where your material came from, how it moved, and when it will arrive — from sourcing through to shipment.

//Standards & Compliance

We do the regulatory work before you ask.

Some of what we trade is straightforward. Some of it is controlled, and a buyer who takes delivery of it without the right paperwork has a serious problem. We handle that end.

All minerals

Export Licensing

Every shipment leaves Nigeria under the licences and permits its mineral class requires. We prepare the documentation, clear it, and it travels with the cargo.

All minerals

Assay & Quality Control

Each lot is sampled and laboratory-assayed against your specification before it ships. You see the certificate of analysis — including the penalty elements — before you commit.

Tin ore · Tantalite

3TG Chain of Custody

Tin and tantalum are conflict minerals. We source only from holders who can evidence origin, tag material at aggregation, and supply the documentation your smelter's audit requires.

Monazite · Zircon

Radiometric & NORM Handling

Monazite carries thorium, and zircon carries trace uranium. We screen those lots radiometrically, obtain nuclear regulatory clearance, and ship under the correct transport class.

//Who We Serve

We supply industry, not retail.

Manufacturers

We supply raw material inputs for production lines that need the same specification, order after order.

Refiners

We deliver ore and concentrate feedstock for downstream processing and refining operations.

Energy & Battery Producers

We source lithium and related battery-grade minerals for the energy-transition supply chain.

Industrial Distributors

We handle bulk and custom-volume orders for buyers moving material further down the supply chain.

//Common Questions

What buyers usually ask first.

Anything not covered here, ask our trade desk directly.

What order volumes do you handle?

From a single container to bulk vessel loads. We size every order around what you actually need rather than a fixed minimum, and we'll tell you honestly if a volume is too small to move economically to your port.

How is pricing worked out?

Most of what we trade prices on contained metal against an exchange reference, not on shipped tonnage — so the assay drives the invoice. Gemstone-grade material prices per gram or per carat by parcel. We quote once we have your grade, volume, and destination port.

Can I see an assay before committing?

Yes. Every lot is sampled and laboratory-assayed against your specification, and you get the certificate of analysis — including penalty elements — before the shipment is finalised.

Which Incoterms do you ship on?

FOB or CIF to any destination port you nominate. We handle export documentation, customs coordination and freight booking either way.

What if you don't currently stock what I need?

Our network reaches well beyond active stock. Tell us the mineral, the grade and the volume, and we'll put it together — Other Minerals sets out the sourcing plan and indicative lead time for each one.

Do you handle regulated and conflict minerals?

Yes. Tin and tantalum ship with documented chain of custody for your smelter's due-diligence audit. Thorium-bearing monazite ships under nuclear regulatory clearance and the correct transport class, to a licensed receiving facility.
