MANGANESE ORE TRADING AND EXPORT IN NIGERIA.

Developing the country’s solid mineral wealth promises to have a considerable impact on the economy since mineral deposits are geographically spread across more than 450 communities in the country.

The mineral spread in Nigeria is significant with evidence of 34 different minerals distributed in Nigeria’s richly endowed geology. Though not all the mineral occurrences will ultimately have enough reserves to be of viable interest to mining companies, Manganese ore is one mineral with enough economic deposit to attract both local and foreign investors in the mining ,processing and trading of the product.

Manganese is a silvery-gray metal resembling iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize. Manganese metal and its common ions are paramagnetic. The most important manganese ore is pyrolusite (MnO2).

They can be used in steelmaking, aluminum, an additive in gasoline, dry cell battery. Some of the states they can found in Nigeria include Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Kaduna, Plateau, Katsina, Kebbi and Nassarawa.

The first step towards a successful trading on manganese ore is to conduct a test on the sample on ore in order to know if it manganese ore or iron ore because of the similarity in the two minerals.

Packaging is usually in 50 Kg since the price is quoted in Metric tons. 1000/KG makes 1 ton and this helps in easy containerization of the goods since most shipping company prefer to carry 20 tons in 20 feet container. In shipping mineral ores, 20 feet container is usually preferred because of the weight of the ores.

It is advisable to weigh the goods at the point of purchase and preferably 51/52 KG should be used instead of 50 KG because after breaking of the material, some part would be lost to dust and debris.

The Quality /Quantity product is at the centre of the contract and because of the grade and scale of mining of manganese ore we have in Nigeria; it is advisable the exporter negotiates for a Mn percentage not greater than 50% with rejection at 35%. The quantity should not be more than 450/MT monthly.

Opportunities also exist for the processing of manganese ore in the country with foreign equipment manufacturers already having offices in Nigeria.

OIL BLOCK BIDDING REQUIREMENT AND THE LOCAL CONTENT BILL IN NIGERIA.

Nigeria has for long been a major producer of crude oil ever since the first commercial well was drilled in Oloibiri in present day Bayelsa state. The country presently has an estimated 35.3 billion barrels both onshore and offshore assets mostly domiciled in the Niger Delta basin. Nigeria presently ranks tenth in the most petroleum-rich nation, and by the far the most affluent in Africa producing about two million {2,000,000} barrels per day.

Nigeria's petroleum is classified mostly as "light" and "sweet", as the oil is largely free of sulphur. Nigeria is the largest producer of sweet oil in OPEC. This sweet oil is similar in composition to petroleum extracted from the North Sea. This crude oil is known as "Bonny light". Names of other Nigerian crudes, all of which are named according to export terminal, are Qua Ibo, Escravos blend, Brass River, Forcados, and Pennington Anfan.

Investment opportunities in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria are stratified along the up stream, middle stream and down stream sectors. While the middle stream and down stream sectors as to do with importation, storage and marketing of refined petroleum products ,the upstream sector of the oil is devoted to the exploration ,production and refining of hydrocarbons.
Though numerous opportunities exist in the upstream sector, we would only concentrate on bidding for oil block and seeking funds for the development of such field’s in Nigeria.

This report there provides in details the technical and financial requirements of bidding for oil blocks in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. To the extent that it informs interested investors, the report also provides details about marginal fields and the financing options available for the development of oil fields.

Rising global energy demand and the high price of crude oil in the international market continues to fuel the discovery and development of oil fields across the world. Brazil’s Petrobras is set to invest about $224 billion on its offshore asset in the pre-salt region off the country’s coast to produce 5.38 million barrels per day in 2020 up from it present production of 2.7 million barrels per day in 2010.

Similar investment drive soon start in Nigeria with the recent announcement by the ministry of petroleum of the plan to increase the production capacity of about 2 million (2,000,000) barrels per day to four million (4,000,000) barrels per day in the next five (5) year.

The nation’s 35.3 billion barrels reserve is expected to continue to attract investors all over the world.

NATIONAL POLICY ON MINERALS METAL IN NIGERIA

An established and well managed solid minerals sub-sector will accelerate economic, social and political growth of Nigeria by provision of gainful employment and a rise in national income earnings far exceeding the petroleum sector. In addition, solid minerals will provide local raw materials for industries and bring vital infrastructure and wealth to rural areas.

Solid minerals have capacity to provide the all important launching pad for the development of other sectors of the economy as well as give sense and meaning to the oneness of the Nigerian state as minerals are located in all states of the Federation. This will douse the agitation for resource control. It is therefore vital that the nation explores this latent potential which has slumbered over the years.

Solid minerals contributed immensely to the economic development of Nigeria in the pre-independence years. During this period, Nigeria was known for the production of coal as an energy source for electricity, railways and also for export. Tin, Columbite, Lead and Zinc were exported. Nigeria was the largest producer of Columbite at one point. The earnings from solid minerals, were used to develop roads, education, hospitals and in fact develop the petroleum industry.

The decline of the solid minerals industry started with the discovery of oil to an extent that Nigeria became a mono product economy and vulnerable to international oil politics. The domineering role of oil did not allow past governments to attend to global challenges that evolved in the development of solid minerals.

The neglect of the minerals industry led to disorder in the minesfield with strong presence of illegal miners whose activities are characterized by inefficient mining, illegal trading of highly priced minerals, severe ecological degradation, spread of diseases and huge loss of revenue to the government through smuggling.

On the other hand, Mining continues to play a key role in the development of Africa's economies. Countries like South Africa,Ghana and Tanzania,remain critically dependent on the earnings of solid minerals.As a result,countries introduced liberal reforms to meet intense competition to attract investment funds.Ghana for example undertook significant reforms both in legal and institutional frame-work and to the general organization of the sector. The result has been growth in mining investment. Tanzania is now a leading destination for exploration funds due to the deliberate government attention to the development of mining. Burkina Faso and Mali have also become strong mining countries.

Following the global economic recession of the late 1980s and early 1990s, developing countries started liberalising their external trade to improve balance of payment, increase economic growth through the provision of incentives to attract capital in-flow and investment.

The developing countries especially in Africa and Latin America turned to Solid Minerals exploration as a solution to sustained economic growth. Nigeria's economy which is largely dependent on a mono-product (petroleum) became vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices with the attendant shocks on the economy. This informed the Federal Government's decision to diversify the nation's economic base from oil to the non-oil sectors including the development of solid minerals resources.

An internal analysis in reaction to the global economic recession led to key policy review which was completed and endorsed at the middle of the 1990s for implementation. The policy review led to a number of important actions including the creation of the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development in 1995.

Efforts had earlier been made towards the development of the sector which include the following:

• The New National Policy on Solid Minerals Development, 1998
• The enactment of the Minerals and Mining Act, 1999
• Development of the Seven Year Strategic Action Plan for Solid Minerals
Development in Nigeria, (2002 2009);
• Establishment of Nigerian Geological Survey Agency.
• Establishment of Sustainable Management of Mineral Resources Project -
a World Bank assisted programme.
• Establishment of the Mining Cadastre Office to grant mining permits and
licences
• Establishment of the Mines Environment Compliance Department to
ensure best International practice.
• Establishment of the Artisanal and Small Scale Mining Department as a
focussed department for small entrepreneurs and local content
• Enactment of the Minerals and Mining Act 2007.

Previous policy decisions and instruments, although well meaning, have not produced the desired results and the outcomes for which they were developed. As a result, for the sector to develop beyond its low level, it became apparent that a reform of the policy is required.

These decisions and instruments, developed in recent times have brought about significant change in perception and interest in the sector. However there is now a need to deepen the interests and develop further, the enabling environment for the sector to grow to the next level.

In addition, there is a constant need to respond to the changing environment in the global mining industry and to situate this within the context of MDG andNigeria's development agenda especially National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) 1,(2004) and NEEDS 2,(2007).
