Ut Rock

UT Rock serves as research consultants on the solid minerals sector in Nigeria, a role that also examines the viability of minerals export ventures out of Nigeria.

Established four years ago, we have been operating and investigating several minerals prospects in the hinterland of Nigeria. Our target has been industrial minerals, in particular the ores of Lead and the ores of Zinc. Although abound with mineral ores, the Nigerian solid minerals sector is still an emergent sector within the Nigerian economy. Above all else this is due to the lack of mechanised mining operations. Since most miners are artisanal miners, without the means of taking the step to mechanisation, there is room in the sector for operators that can serve as a conduit between the artisanal miners and the international market place.
