    Top 3 Mining Companies in Nigeria and Their Locations

    Aisha MohammedBy Aisha MohammedDecember 26, 2024

    It is common Knowledge that Nigeria is rich in mineral resources, making it a hub for several top mining companies in Nigeria contributing significantly to the economy. These companies not only create jobs but also foster technological advancement, attracting both local and foreign investments. Among these, the Eta-Zuma Group stands out for its role in coal mining and power generation.

    The headquarters at Abuja currently coordinates mainly exploration activities at all exploration sites especially in the Kogi block in partnership with the technical partners EMI and the Geological Institute of Ukraine. Projections from over ten years ago indicated that over 50% of all the coal mined in Nigeria be produced by Eta-Zuma-group before year 2014 mainly via surface mine sites principally located in the Kogi and Enugu blocks. Most of the proposed coal to be mined will be used for the generation of electricity. The Group plans to process output from its lignite deposits in the Delta block into briquettes and other domestic power fuels for use mainly in the northern parts of Nigeria in keeping with her environmental protection initiatives.

    Eta-Zuma Company

    Based in Kogi State, Eta-Zuma has heavily invested in coal exploration, making it a leading player in Nigeria’s energy sector. Their operations fuel local industries and contribute to national power supply efforts.

    Multiverse Mining and Exploration Plc is another prominent name, focusing on lead and zinc extraction. Operating primarily in Nasarawa and Osun States, the company has been instrumental in providing materials essential for various industrial applications. Dangote Cement Plc, while renowned for cement production, has extensive limestone mines in Benue and Ogun States. These mines play a crucial role in Dangote’s dominance in the construction industry.

    Despite their success, mining companies in Nigeria face challenges such as regulatory uncertainties, insufficient infrastructure, and disputes with local communities. Overcoming these obstacles could enable the sector to achieve its full potential and significantly boost Nigeria’s economic growth.
