Mining & Solid Minerals
A Nigerian mining project turns on two things that are often confused. Title comes from the Mining Cadastre Office and tells you what you may extract; it does not give you the ground, and it does not give you the community. Both have to be built, and most of the disputes we see began as one of them being treated as a formality.
What this covers
- Exploration licences, mining leases and quarry leases through the Mining Cadastre Office
- Community Development Agreements under the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007
- Surface rights, access and compensation with landholders and host communities
- Environmental impact assessment and NESREA compliance
- Royalties, fiscal incentives and the transfer of mineral titles
- Title disputes, and enforcement against unlicensed operations on a lease
Tell us what happened, and when it has to be resolved.
A first conversation costs nothing and usually takes twenty minutes. If the matter is not ours we will say so and point you to someone whose it is.
