We are an iron ore mining, processing and exporting company over
many years. We are one of the private company in Nigeria to receive a
license for export of high grade Iron Ore.
Mining is being carried out through conventional open-pit methods
including drilling, blasting, loading and haulage. The open-cast pit is
nearly 3,400m long, 1,300m wide and 300m deep. The pit will be gradually
stripped of topsoil and overburden to get access to the ore. Drilling
is being carried out using hydraulic hammer drills. Mixed explosives are
supplied directly to the drill holes via purpose-built trucks. “Mining is being carried out through
conventional open-pit methods including drilling, blasting, loading and
haulage.”
Blasting is being carried out using ammonium nitrate-based
explosives. To support a mining rate of nearly 45Mt/y, explosives in the
order of 12kt/y are being used. Excavated ore and waste is loaded using
hydraulic excavators into rear dump off-highway haul trucks. Loading is
carried out on 4m benches. Haul trucks transport the loaded ore along
the pit ramp directly to the processing plant.
The first year of mining will largely oversee removal of overburden
and mineralised waste rock with minimum ore excavation. Following this,
magnetite ore will be excavated simultaneously from different depths
within the pit. The pit will be gradually extended northwards. To
optimise the development of the pit and ensure that ores of consistent
grade are sent to the processing plant, mining will take place at
several levels and in assorted ore grades.
The ore is processed in an on-site facility. Processing includes
crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, reverse flotation and
thickening to produce 12Mt/y of magnetite concentrate. Approximately 85%
of ore is delivered to the crusher. The remaining 15% is stockpiled in a
ROM pad for subsequent crushing.
Around 18Mt of tailings produced from the processing is stored in an
on-site dry-stack tailings storage facility. The facility will feature a
Mobile Stacking System. It will be capable of handling 18.2Mt of
tailings. Waste rock is stored in a waste rock dump adjacent to the pit.
Coal Mining Services
We provide our world class Coal Mining Services to the clients. The
company makes use of advanced technology for the mining work in order to
procure high quality coal. We have experienced professionals who
execute the Coal Mining Services; keeping in mind the requirement of the
clients.
Mineral Processing
We are offering the Mineral Processing Service to the clients. In the
process, we do mineral beneficiation to extract the valuable
constituents from the Coal and Iron Ore. Our services are highly useful
for coal and captive uses, as we are planning to set up our own coal
washery of 1MMTPA volume. We are also looking for technical (who have
experience in Coal washery operation and maintenance) and financial
partner for Coal Washery chain of business.
We are also one of Nigeria’s leading exporters of high-grade processed Iron Ore to many countries.
What is iron ore?
Iron ore is the rock which iron is extracted. The iron comes in the
forms of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite and siderite, and
varied colors from grey, yellow, purple and red. Iron ore is also the
raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw
materials for making steel.
World consumption of iron ore grows 10% per year on average with the
main consumers being China, Japan, Korea, the United States and the
European Union. The major producers of iron ore are China, Brazil,
Australia, India, and Russia. Iron is the world’s most commonly used
metal. The main constraint is the position of the iron ore relative to
market, the cost of rail infrastructure to get it to market and the
energy cost required to do so.
