TIN ORE { CASSITERITE } EXPORT IN NIGERIA; NON-OIL EXPORT OPPORTUNITY SERIES

TIN ORE { CASSITERITE } EXPORT IN NIGERIA; NON-OIL EXPORT OPPORTUNITY SERIES.

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.

One of such minerals that have been identified for development is tin ore. 10,546 tonnes of which are found in Plateau State; is employed in plating, production of tin oxide used in paint, paper and ink industries, production of tin oxide resistors, electric lead wires and Foraminifera Market Research seeks to expose the investment opportunity in the export of the product through this feasibility report.

Tin ore {Cassiterite} is the second –easiest ore to mine. It is mined from tin veins. Cassiterite is a tin oxide mineral, SnO2. It is generally opaque but it is translucent in thin crystals. Its luster and multiple crystal faces produce a desirable gem. Cassiterite has been the chief tin ore throughout ancient history and remains the most important source of tin today.

Most sources of cassiterite today are found in alluvial or placer deposits containing the resistant weathered grains.

Tin mineralisation in Nigeria is within the Younger Granites of Jos Plateau. They are two types: primary deposits found as disseminations in the biotite granite and pegmatities and placer deposits found among gravel pockets in both ancient and modern stream channels.

Most of the tin today is recovered from the placer formations by stripping and open pit mining. Ore grade is high (about 1.5 kgm-3) and beneficiation is by gravity or magnetic floatation or a combination of the two.

Associated gangue minerals include magnetite (Fe3O4), ilmenite (FeTiO3), Zircon (ZrSiO4), thorite (ThSiO4) and monazite (Le, La, Y, Th(PO4)). Gem quality beryl and semi-precious gem quality topaz are also associated with the cassiterite.

The return on investment on the export of tin ore is estimated between 10%- 15%.

TANTALITE ORE EXPORT IN NIGERIA; NON-OIL EXPORT OPPORTUNITY SERIES

The metals sector in Nigeria today is yet to reach its full potential particularly in the development and consumption of key metallic products as iron, tantalite, copper, aluminium, tin, lead, zinc etc. and in exploitation of key noble metals such as gold and silver. With the nation's capacity, potential and resource base, all these products can readily be developed and used to jumpstart the rapid industrialization and economic growth of the economy.

The new metals policy is predicated upon the need to develop a vibrant metals sector where government will play the role of administrator-regulator with the private sector as owner-operator and would enable Nigeria become a major regional and global producer of mineral products.

One of such minerals that can be developed for the growth of the country is tantalite. 14,223 tonnes of which are found in Plateau State; is used in forming alloys that are useful in nuclear, aerospace , gas turbine engineering and Foraminifera Market Research seeks to expose the investment opportunity in the export of the product through this feasibility report.

Coltan {also columbite-tantalite and known industrially as tantalite} is a dull black metallic ore from which the elements niobium and tantalum are extracted. The niobium-dominated mineral is columbite hence the “col” half of the term. The mineral concentrates dominated by tantalum are referred to as tantalite.

Tantalite forms a series with the mineral columbite. In fact the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral call columbite-tantalite in many mineral guides.

Tantalite is the most widespread tantalum mineral and makes for an important ore of the industrially useful metal. They are used in the production of tantalum based capacitors and alloys for strength and higher melting point, in glass to increase the index of refraction and in surgical steel as it is non – reactive and non-irritating to body tissue.

Tantalite’s greatest difference from columbite is it’s much greater specific gravity 8.0+ compared to columbite’s 5.2.

Large deposits of Tantalite are known to occur in Nasarawa, Gombe and Kogi States as well as the Federal Capital Territory. The deposits are both alluvial and primary in the numerous pegmatite bodies that infest these areas.

The return on investment on the export of tantalite is estimated between 10%- 15%.

LEAD ORE EXPORT IN NIGERIA; NON-OIL EXPORT OPPORTUNITY SERIES.

The mining industry is easily recognized as one of the most valuable sectors of an industrialized economy because its linkage to other sectors of development and its enormous capacity to support and simulate growth in virtually all sectors of the economy.

As Nigeria strives to achieve vision 20:2020 which is to be amongst the top 20 economies by the year 2020, it is important that government pay attention to the development of the various minerals deposits in the country because of the nations comparatively advantage over its neighbors in this area.

In fact , it can be said that the more a nations mining industry grows , the more they prosper economically and examples can be seen across the world from Canada to Australia, India ,they all have a vibrant mining industry.

One of the minerals that can be found in the country is lead ore. It is estimated that the nations has over 10,000,000 tons of lead ore deposit and to take advantage of this resources, interested investors can mine/source and export the product.

FACTS ABOUT LEAD ORE IN NIGERIA

Background: Rocks are the materials which the earth's upper crusts are made of. Rocks are themselves composed of minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring elements like Gold, or a compound such as Iron Oxide. If a rock contains a mineral from which a metal can be extracted at a profit, it is call an Ore. For example, lead Ore.

Lead is a main group element in the carbon group with the symbol Pb {Latin: plumbum} and atomic number 18. Lead is soft, malleable poor metal. It is also counted as one of the heavy metals {Source: Wikipedia}

Estimated National Deposit: About 10,000,000 deposit have been discorved in Nigeria.

Export from Nigeria: Less than 2% of national reserve.

Uses: Lead is a major constituent of Lead- Acid battery

State Where they are mined: Lead ore are mined in Akwanga, Nassarawa Eggon and Wamba all in Nassarawa State. They are found in Jos in Plateau State, Alkaliri Local Government in Bauchi State and Filia in Gombe State. Taraba, Kaduna and Kogi.

Ores (metals) are traded internationally and comprise a sizeable portion of international trade in raw materials both in value and volume. This is because the worldwide distribution of ores is unequal and dislocated from locations of peak demand and from smelting infrastructure.

Most base metals (copper, lead, zinc, nickel) are traded internationally on the London Metal Exchange, with smaller stockpiles and metals exchanges monitored by the COMEX and NYMEX exchanges in the United States and the Shanghai Futures Exchange in China.

The World Bank reports that China was the top importer of ores and metals in 2005 followed by the USA and Japan.

The market for lead ore especially the overseas market in China is large, expanding and sustainable because of the numerous uses of lead ore. Buyers usually would like to secure steady source of supply of these products.

An exporter that is able to secure a contract at the right price would have an uphill task meeting the demand of the buyer because the output from the mines in Nigeria is low due to the use of crude implement. You can imagine a situation whereby the daily need of the factory of the buyer is 600/MT and the exporter would struggle to supply 500/MT on a monthly basis.

The return on investment on the export of lead ore is estimated between 10%- 15%.

DRY SPLIT GINGER EXPORT IN NIGERIA; NON-OIL EXPORT OPPORTUNITY SERIES.

Until the late 1970’s when hydrocarbon was discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri, present day Bayelsa state, Agriculture remained the mainstay of the economy contributing over 90% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country as against the less than 40% it now contributes with crop production accounting for an estimated 85%, livestock 10% and the balance made up by fisheries and forestry.

Any nation that requires economic development must look inwards to identify areas where it has comparative advantage over other nations and seek to develop the identified areas.

Apart from hydrocarbon, Nigeria has comparative in the Agricultural sector where a variety of products are produced due to the favorable climatic condition ,good soil condition and the fact that over 70% of the entire land mass of the country is arable.

Nigeria has comparative advantage in the production and export of Ginger in Africa over her counterparts due to the large arable land available for production and the conducive climatic condition.

FACTS ABOUT GINGER IN NIGERIA
History: Ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale, consumed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Other notable members of this plant family are turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. Ginger cultivation began in South Asia and has since spread to East Africa and the Caribbean.

Estimated National Production: Nigeria's production in 2005 was estimated at 110000 metric tonnes (FAO).

Types: Pickled ginger, ginger tea, powdered ginger, preserved ginger, dried ginger and crystallized ginger.

Export from Nigeria: about 92% of national production

Uses: The list of ginger uses is almost endless, being a pungent spicy herb and one of the more popular food spices. They range from baked products like gingerbread, ginger biscuits, ginger cookies to drinks like ginger tea, ginger beer, ginger ale, etc. Ginger contains about two percent essential oil. The oil is extracted and distilled from rhizomes for various uses in confectionery, perfumery, beverages and pharmaceuticals. Dried ginger is used predominantly for flavouring coffee especially in the Middle East.

It contains medicinal qualities and it is also used to calm nausea and aids digestion. Dried ginger is used in many different cooking methods. It is an important spice in Asia, the Caribbean and African cooking.

Areas of Production: Ginger is produced in six states of the Federation namely, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Benue, Niger and Gombe with Kaduna as the major producer.

The total production of ginger in the world is 1,476.9 thousand tons with the total acreage of 387.3 thousand ha. India, China, Indonesia and Nepal are the major producers of ginger in the world, having production of 517.8 thousand tons, 279 thousand tons, 159 thousand tons and 154.1 thousand tons respectively. Nigeria and India have the largest area under cultivation.

The market for ginger especially the overseas market in Asia and Europe is large, expanding and sustainable because of the numerous uses of ginger.
