Introduction

Nigeria is fast emerging as a global hotspot for critical minerals, with lithium ore taking center stage. As demand for clean energy technologies and electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates, lithium has become one of the most strategic resources of the 21st century. At Augustina Impex Limited, we are proud to be at the forefront of lithium ore exports from Nigeria, connecting the country’s mineral wealth to international markets.

Why Lithium?

Lithium is a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, which power electric vehicles, smartphones, laptops, solar backup systems, and a growing array of energy storage solutions. As the world shifts towards green energy and carbon neutrality, lithium demand is projected to more than triple by 2030.

Nigeria’s Lithium Deposits

Nigeria hosts rich lithium-bearing pegmatites, particularly in states like Nasarawa, Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti, and Plateau. The dominant lithium mineral found in Nigeria is spodumene, which contains Li₂O (lithium oxide) in economically valuable concentrations. 

At Augustina Impex Limited, we source spodumene ore with Li₂O grades ranging from 3.5% to 6.5%, ensuring quality and consistency for buyers in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Introduction

In the global race for critical minerals, few are as strategically important as rare earth elements (REEs)—the building blocks of modern technologies such as smartphones, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and military systems. One of the richest natural sources of REEs is monazite sand, and Nigeria is quietly becoming a noteworthy supplier. At Augustina Impex Limited, we proudly offer reliable, export-grade monazite sand to global buyers seeking consistent and secure supply chains.

What is Monazite Sand?

Monazite is a rare earth phosphate mineral, commonly found in heavy mineral sand deposits. It contains a mix of light rare earth elements (LREEs), including:

• Cerium (Ce)
• Lanthanum (La)
• Neodymium (Nd)
• Praseodymium (Pr)
• Samarium (Sm)
• And small amounts of thorium (Th) and uranium (U)

These elements are crucial to high-tech industries, particularly for permanent magnets, catalysts, electronics, glass polishing, and clean energy technologies.

Nigeria’s Monazite Resources

Nigeria’s monazite-rich sands are predominantly found in Plateau, Nasarawa, and Cross River States, typically co-located with zircon, ilmenite, and rutile. Despite its abundance, the monazite industry in Nigeria remains underdeveloped, offering significant opportunities for foreign buyers, researchers, and investors.

At Augustina Impex Limited, we identify and source monazite sand directly from verified artisanal and small-scale mining sites, ensuring a balance of sustainability, legality, and economic impact.
