This is one of the mineral deposits in Nigeria that is of great proportion but it is not renewable, and unlike some of these minerals, limestone is processed and quarried by various local and international construction companies in Nigeria.

Limestone deposit in Nigeria is majorly deposited in Cross River and Ebonyi states but can still be found in commercial deposits in other regions Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Edo, Enugu, Imo, Ogun, Ondo, and Sokoto, making Nigeria the most richly deposited West African country when it comes to Limestone.

It is estimated that there are 10 million tons of lead/zinc in Nigeria. The east-central part of Nigeria is the richest in lead/zinc – there are about 5 million tons of this resource.

In West Africa, especially in Nigeria, presently the mining of copper is done by using small-scale operations. Some of these can be exported to other countries in a minimal amount when investors execute maximum usage or production.

In the general estimate, it has 10 million tons of copper ore deposits found in the above locations. Its occurrence and distribution are mainly in the Northern Part of the country such as Nasarawa, Plateau, Zamfara, Bauchi, Gombe State, Kano State, and also in the south in places like Abia.

Nigeria is among the African countries with vast iron ore deposits which can be found in some states in the country. In 1979, the Nigerian national iron ore company was established. Nowadays, it is said that 3 billion tons of iron ore are available in the country.

Iron ore is an essential rock mineral, which formation came as a result of combined chemical reactions of oxygen and iron in marine and freshwaters. The two significant elements of iron ores are rocks and minerals. They have an abundance of iron oxides, making extraction of metallic iron economic from these minerals.

Tin Ore mineral deposit was discovered in Nigeria, West Africa by Sir William Wallace in the year 1884, who then worked with the National African Company. Tin was and is still being produced by the natives of Plateau, Abuja, and Bauchi State.

The estimated Tin reserve in Nigeria is believed and expected to help in the promotion of the country’s economy even without the exploitation of crude oil which has captivated the mind of the government.

Gold production began in 1913 and peaked in the 1930s. There are proven reserves of both alluvial and primary gold in the schist belt of Nigeria located in the south-western part of the country. The deposits are mainly alluvial and are currently being exploited on a small scale.

The first coal was discovered in Nigeria far back in the year 1909 in the southeastern part of the country, at a specific location called Udi Ridge in Enugu state.

Trading of coal in Nigeria began in 1914, during the country's amalgamation year. It was the year when the first coal was exported out of the country to the United Kingdom from Port Harcourt, the newly invented port then.

Nigeria has about three billion tons of coal, which are preserved in seventeen fields, and there are about 600 tons of coal reserve.

Bitumen is the viscous mixture of hydrocarbons that may occur as natural deposits or as a residue from petroleum distillation. It was discovered first in Nigeria around the 1900s, with its exploration beginning particularly in 1905.

Nigeria has the richest crude oil deposits in Africa and the 4th in the World. This resource was originally discovered in Oloibiri, Bayelsa State, in 1959. Nowadays, the whole 2.5 million barrels of oil are produced daily, and there are 180 trillion cubic metres of gas reserve.

Nigeria is the largest producer of sweet oil in OPEC, the Nigerian grade of crude oil is described as light because of its relatively low density, and sweet because of its low sulphur content.
