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, dolomite, marble,
kaolin, barite, diatomite, feldspar, quartz and silica sands, gypsum, talc,
silimanite, kyanite, phosphate, salt and bentonite.
Kaolin is an important and widely used
industrial mineral which is refined from Kaolinite. It is a naturally – occurring mineral of the
clay family and may contain a number of impurities such as quartz, feldspar,
tourmaline, ilmenite, zircon, etc, which were derived from the parent rock. It
is a weathering product of silicate rocks which is whitish, earthy to dull with
plastic touch. The characteristics and chemical composition of a kaolin deposit
usually determines its industrial utilization.
The bulk of the Kaolinitic clay deposits in the
country are either sedimentary or residual in origin and are usually associated
with granitic rocks. Occurrences of
kaolin have been recorded in different parts of the country and specific
abundant deposits have been identified in parts of Enugu, Anambra, Kaduna,
Katsina, Plateau, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Bauchi, Sokoto, and Borno States. Of these reserves, about 800 million tons of
probable/proven deposits have been quantified.
Kaolin is one of the most valuable of the
industrial clays which is used in most manufactured products. Prominent uses
include paper filling and coating; paint, plastic, adhesive and ink pigment;
rubber reinforcing agent; ceramic raw materials for porcelain, dinnerware,
tiles and enamels; catalyst for petroleum cracking and auto exhaust emission
catalytic control devices; cosmetics base; and digestive coating remedy.
This report seeks to examine the financial
viability or otherwise of mining crude kaolin in Nigeria.
