INDUSTRY OVERVIEW For Simplified Gold Mining Business Plan

In addition, it’s worth overviewing the Nigerian mining industry for us to keep abreast with the trend of mining activities in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, Nigeria is endowed with numerous solid mineral resources. These include talc, iron ore, bitumen, gold, rock salt, gypsum, lead and zinc. Others are coal, gemstones, kaolin, tantalite, bentonite and baryte. These are located in different parts of the country in commercial quantity.

Ownership:

However, the ownership of the mineral resources is vested in the Federal Government of Nigeria. So, the state is the custodian on behalf of the citizens of the country. The state regulates this industry through its solid mineral development Act. This same Act defines title ownership, community relationship and solid mineral tax matters. For more on this contact us for your commercial information at minimal costs. Or ask for our solid mineral mining e-book.

Need for Foreign Investors:

Recently, the Nigerian government has recognized that the successful exploration and exploitation of its mineral resources may not be met by only the indigenous miners. That it requires both technical expertise and financial strength to a large extent which can be provided by foreign investors. This had led to evolving of certain mining incentives for all miner investors. This is detailed below.

Mining Titles:

In this regard, the government grants mineral titles to allow suitable investors to explore for, mine and market the mineral resources. In this connection, government is both the ‘owner-operator’ and ‘administrator-regulator’. In fact, the solid mineral cadastral office receives applications for mineral titles and licenses.

Investors are, therefore, free to apply for mining titles at any time for any area not covered by an existing title or not otherwise reserved by the government. You can own more than one title if you can afford it.

Mining Incentives:

Furthermore, government has evolved policies aimed at encouraging both domestic and foreign investors in the mining industry. These incentives include granting of a three-year tax holiday to new mining companies which may be extended for one further period of two years. In addition, mining operators are granted exemptions from payment of customs and import duties in respect of plant, machinery, equipment and accessories imported specifically and exclusively for mining operations.

Additionally, every holder of a mineral title is guaranteed free transferability of funds through the Central Bank of Nigeria. Again, they are also permitted to retain a portion of their foreign exchange in a foreign exchange domiciliary account for use in acquiring spare parts and other inputs required for the mining operation. But such must be those that would otherwise not be readily available without the use of such earning.

Furthermore, this sector includes such business activities as the importation and local marketing of modern mining equipment. In fact, you can invest into modern mineral testing and quality control technologies and reagents. Also you are allowed to invest in local sales and export of crude or processed solid minerals. These are all business opportunities in the solid mineral sector of Nigeria’s economy.
