Rich in mineral resources. More than 30 kinds of mineral deposits have been proved. Mainly oil, natural gas, tin, tantalum, niobium, gold, coal, limestone, etc. The proven oil reserves are 37.2 billion barrels, ranking second in Africa. Proven natural gas reserves have reached 5.1 trillion cubic meters, ranking first in Africa. With coal reserves of about 2.75 billion tons, it is the only coal producing country in West Africa. The forest coverage rate is 17%.

resources in Nigeria - Lithium, tin, tantalum, and niobium mine investigate in Nigeria: an introduction

Nigeria is rich in mineral resources and has a wide distribution range. Metal minerals are mainly gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, tin, niobium, tantalum, iron, etc., and are mainly distributed in the crystalline basement area together with various gemstones, which have the characteristics of band-like distribution, and form a horse from west to east. Such as – Ankafei, Jos – Bauchi, Taraba – Adamawa three metallogenic belts. The Joss-Bauqi area is an important cassiterite, niobium-tantalum polymetallic metallogenic belt.
