Product 1 — Lithium Ore (Spodumene-Kunzite)
Nigeria hosts significant spodumene-type lithium pegmatite mineralisation across Plateau, Nasarawa, and Kwara States. Augustina Impex Limited sources and exports run-of-mine lithium ore and hand-sorted lithium concentrate from licensed Nigerian mining operations. The mineral occurs as pale green to lilac-coloured spodumene crystals intergrown with quartz and feldspar in coarse-grained granitic pegmatite bodies. Kunzite (the gem variety of spodumene) is also present in certain deposits. Nigerian lithium ore is in active demand from Chinese, South Korean, and European lithium chemical processors as a feedstock for battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production.

Product 2 — Lepidolite (Lithium Mica)
Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing phyllosilicate mica mineral and an important secondary source of lithium, rubidium, and caesium. Our lepidolite supply originates from Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria, and is available in three commercial grade tiers based on Li₂O content. Lepidolite is used as a lithium feedstock in glass and ceramics manufacturing, lithium chemical production, and as a flux in technical ceramics. It is also evaluated as a potential feedstock for direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies currently under development.

Our bastnasite supply is produced by our production partner Jase Odus Nigeria Limited (Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria), and independently assayed by Zirconex Mining & Metal Laboratory, Abuja (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) under three distinct pit sample assay references. Bastnasite from this source contains commercial concentrations of cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), and praseodymium (Pr).

Product 4 — Fluorite Ore (Fluorspar)
Fluorite (fluorspar) is the naturally occurring mineral form of calcium fluoride (CaF₂), one of the world's most industrially critical minerals. Augustina Impex Limited's fluorite ore supply originates from Benue State, Nigeria, and has been independently assayed by GQ Laboratory (Guoqiang International Laboratory Ltd), Abuja under the GB/T5195.1-2017 standard — the same methodology used by Chinese importers. Three independent assay results confirm CaF₂ content of 82.38% (two lots) and 78.63% (one lot), placing our supply firmly in the high-metspar to pre-acid grade band. Payment is made upon release of GQ Lab assay results — no advance payment required.

Product 5 — Monazite Sand
Monazite sand is a rare earth phosphate mineral — (Ce,La,Nd,Th)PO₄ — and one of the world's most significant natural sources of light rare earth elements (LREEs), particularly NdPr (neodymium-praseodymium), the feedstock for NdFeB permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. Our Nigerian monazite sand has a confirmed TREO of 52.2%, NdPr content of 12.0%, and an ultra-low ThO₂ of ~0.05% — a key advantage for European buyers with FANC thorium thresholds. Classified as NORM; exported under full NNRA authorisation. Mechanically beneficiated only — no chemical treatment.

Product 6 — Coltan / Tantalite
Coltan (columbite-tantalite) is a black metallic mineral ore containing both niobium (columbite fraction) and tantalum (tantalite fraction). Tantalum metal derived from coltan is a critical material for the global electronics industry — particularly for the production of tantalum electrolytic capacitors used in smartphones, laptops, automotive electronics, and medical devices. Nigeria is one of Africa's significant coltan-producing nations, with production from artisanal and small-scale mining operations across multiple states. Augustina Impex Limited sources and exports verified, licenced-origin coltan from Nigerian supply.

Product 7 — Tin Concentrate (Cassiterite)
Cassiterite (SnO₂) is the primary tin ore mineral and the world's principal source of refined tin metal. The Jos Plateau in Nigeria is home to one of Africa's most historically significant tin mining regions, with cassiterite-bearing alluvial and eluvial deposits that have been mined commercially since the early 20th century. Nigerian tin concentrate from the Jos Plateau region carries significant heritage and geological credibility. Tin metal is essential for lead-free electronic soldering, tin plating for food and beverage packaging (tinplate), and specialty chemical applications.
