Augustina Impex Limited Offers Nigerian Critical Minerals & Rare Earth Elements to Global Buyers

Augustina Impex Limited Positions Nigeria as a Premier Source of Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements for the Global Market

JOS, PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA - July 17, 2026 - Augustina Impex Limited, a professionally registered Nigerian mineral trading and export company (RC No. 750691), today announces the formal availability of a comprehensive portfolio of Nigerian critical minerals, rare earth elements, and non-ferrous metals for international buyers, processors, and commodity traders across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond.

With over 17 years of continuous operation since its incorporation on 3rd June 2008, Augustina Impex Limited has established itself as a credible, fully compliant, and professionally managed mineral export company headquartered in Jos, Plateau State - the epicenter of Nigeria's rich heavy mineral sand and rare earth-bearing mineral deposits.

A Comprehensive Portfolio Meeting the World's Critical Mineral Needs

The company's current export portfolio spans rare earth-bearing minerals, critical minerals, base metals, and industrial minerals, including:

Monazite Sand Concentrate - TREO 50%-68%, fully NNRA-cleared, with pre-shipment inspection by CCIC, Bureau Veritas, or SGS. Monazite is a primary source of light rare earth oxides including cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and praseodymium - elements essential to electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and clean energy infrastructure.
Ilmenite Concentrate (Titanium Concentrate) - TiO2 40%-65%, the primary feedstock for titanium dioxide pigment and titanium metal used in aerospace, paints, coatings, and advanced manufacturing.
Zircon Sand Concentrate - ZrO2 60%-66%, used in advanced ceramics, nuclear reactor components, and zirconium chemicals.
Spodumene / Lithium Ore - Li2O 1%-3% from Nigerian pegmatite formations, suitable for processing into battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide for the electric vehicle battery supply chain.
Coltan (Columbite-Tantalite) - Ta2O5 20%-40%+, a critical material for capacitors in smartphones, laptops, and advanced electronics, as well as aerospace and medical devices.
Fluorite (Fluorspar) - CaF2 60%-85%, sourced from Benue State, Nigeria, for use in aluminum smelting, steel production, hydrofluoric acid manufacturing, and battery electrolyte production.
Tin Ore (Cassiterite) - Sn 40%-72%, from Nigeria's historic tin-producing plateau region.
Copper Ore - Cu 5%-11%, suitable for copper concentrate processing.
Aluminum Ingots (A7 Grade) and Copper Cathodes (Grade A, 99.99% purity) - available through the company's international supply mandate network, with origins in Malaysia and Tanzania respectively.

Regulatory Compliance at the Core of Every Transaction

Augustina Impex Limited operates within Nigeria's full regulatory framework for solid mineral export, maintaining active registrations and permits with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD), the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA), and the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA). All mineral consignments are supported by complete export documentation, third-party pre-shipment inspection, and assay certificates from ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories.

"We have spent over 17 years building the regulatory relationships, supply networks, and operational expertise that allow us to serve international buyers with the reliability and transparency they deserve," said Kolawole King, Chief Executive Officer of Augustina Impex Limited. "The global demand for critical minerals and rare earth elements has never been stronger, and Nigeria has the geological endowment to meet a meaningful portion of that demand. We are committed to connecting Nigerian mineral wealth to global value chains in a professional, compliant, and sustainable manner."

Serving Global Demand at a Critical Moment

The announcement comes at a time of unprecedented global demand for critical minerals and rare earth elements, driven by the accelerating transition to clean energy and electric mobility. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that demand for rare earth elements could increase by up to six times by 2040 under net-zero energy transition scenarios. The United States, European Union, Japan, and South Korea have all published critical mineral strategies that specifically identify African supply sources as priority alternatives to existing supply chain concentrations.

Nigeria's combination of geological richness, improving regulatory infrastructure, and established port access - including the Apapa Port Complex in Lagos and the Onne Port Complex in Rivers State - positions it as one of the most commercially viable and scalable African sources for rare earth and critical mineral supply diversification.

Transaction Process and Commercial Terms

Augustina Impex Limited welcomes inquiries from international buyers, commodity traders, mineral processors, and off-take partners. The company's standard transaction process begins with a Soft Corporate Offer (SCO), progresses through pre-shipment inspection and a Full Corporate Offer (FCO), and culminates in a Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with payment structured through an irrevocable Letter of Credit (LC) in accordance with UCP 600. Trial orders are welcomed across all mineral categories.
