Nigeria and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia have renewed plans to upgrade the capacities of their geological agencies by utilising the breakthroughs recorded by Saudi firms in mineral exploration.

Giving this assurance at a closed-door meeting between Nigeria and Saudi authorities on the sidelines of the Future Minerals Forum (FMF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Saudi minister of Mining, Bandar Al-Khorayef, said the government and the private sector were working together to introduce new technologies for mineral exploration.

Engr. Al-Khorayef was responding to the presentation by Nigeria’s minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Dele Alake, who opened the talks with a proposal for both countries to collaborate on areas of economic advantage.

Alake stressed that Nigeria and Saudi Arabia can form partnerships based on the sector’s value chain.

Using Saudi Arabia’s famous gold market as an example, Alake said Nigeria’s gold refineries could gain access to the Saudi market under protective clauses, guaranteeing both economies’ expansion opportunities.

The minister, accompanied by his minister of State for Finance counterpart, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, and directors-general of the ministry’s agencies, also met officials of the Saudi Chamber of Commerce to canvass  their investment in Nigeria’s mining sector by leveraging the large deposits of lithium and iron ore, which are being processed in line with the administration’s value addition policy.

To de-risk their investment, the Minister promised to authorise the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, NGSA, to provide relevant data on their minerals of interest.

Alake pointed out that the shift in the global industry towards electric machines using lithium batteries had made Nigeria a critical supplier of minerals.

He also affirmed that partnership with Saudi investors would encourage the export of finished industrial inputs.

Noting the investment in steel production in Saudi Arabia, the minister cited examples of companies processing iron ore to steel in Nigeria as precedents that could be replicated.

He listed laboratories for the separation and analysis of mineral samples among facilities in Nigeria to ease mining projects, adding that Nigeria had the best certified laboratories for minerals in West Africa.
