Nigeria is blessed with abundant
mineral resources, which are from time immemorial formed the backbone of the
nation’s economic and industrial development aspirations. Prior to
independence, the nation’s mineral raw material resources contributed immensely
to the export earnings of the nation.
For over three decades, the Country
has continued to depend entirely on oil for her revenue and the volatile nature
of the oil market has made it imperative for us to diversify the mono-product
economy through exploitation and processing of our abundant solid mineral
resources.
The clamour for resource control being advocated by states with
petroleum resources in their domain makes it imperative for us to develop,
exploit, process and utilize our solid minerals – particularly Non-metallic
Minerals as every part of this country is blessed with one or more solid
mineral that could yield substantial revenue for sustainable development.
Exploitation of the Non-metallic
Minerals has not attained the desired level, mainly because of the various
constraints associated with their exploitation, development and processing for
utilization. Many of the non-metallic minerals, which are vital to the
industrial take off of the country, have been found in commercial quantities
within the country.
They include limestone, mica,
dolomite, marble, kaolin, barite, diatomite, feldspar, quartz and silica sands,
gypsum, talc, silimanite, kyanite, phosphate, salt and bentonite.
Muscovite is a phyllosilicate mineral
of aluminium and potassium. It has a highly-perfect basal cleavage yielding
remarkably-thin laminæ (sheets) which are often highly elastic.
Muscovite is the most common mica,
found in granites, pegmatites, gneisses, and schist’s, and as a contact
metamorphic rock or as a secondary mineral resulting from the alteration of
topaz, feldspar, kyanite, etc. In pegmatites, it is often found in immense
sheets that are commercially valuable.
Mica is common in all the three major
rock varieties, which are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. It occurs in
igneous rocks such as granites and pegmatite; in metamorphic rocks like
gneisses and schist; and in sedimentary rocks like sandstones, clays, etc.
Mica is widely distributed all over
Nigeria. Substantial quatities are found
in the siliceous gneisses and pegmatite of Moriki district in Zamfara State,
also in Kogi, Rivers, Nassarawa, Ogun, Ekiti and some other states.
By virtue of its chemical and
physical properties, mica has historically found a niche in a range of
industries. In the last two or three
centuries the range of uses has been widened.
The introduction of wet and dry
ground, micronised, built-up, reconstituted and paper forms of mica have
expanded the markets demand for mica, which previously was only served by sheet
mica. The principal markets are
construction, coatings, plastics, electronics, paper and drilling mud.
This report seeks to examine the financial
viability or otherwise of mining mica sheets in Nigeria.
