Professional Solid Minerals Export Services from Nigeria to the World — Augustina Impex Limited
Augustina Impex Limited is a fully licensed Nigerian solid minerals export company (RC 750691 | NEPC RE No. 0039421) headquartered in Jos, Plateau State. We provide end-to-end commercial facilitation for the aggregation, quality verification, and international export of Nigerian solid mineral commodities to qualified buyers across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. From the first Soft Corporate Offer (SCO) to the final bill of lading, every service we deliver is structured, documented, and fully compliant with Nigerian and international trade regulations.
Our Core Services
Our primary service is the aggregation, quality control, and international export of Nigerian solid mineral commodities. We source from a multi-state network of licensed mining companies, processing plants, and artisanal miners across Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Zamfara, Cross River, Edo, Kogi, Taraba, Adamawa, and Kwara States. Active export commodities include Lithium Ore, Fluorite Ore (Fluorspar), Bastnasite (Rare Earth Carbonate), Monazite Sand, Coltan/Tantalite, Tin Concentrate, Copper Ore, Lead Ore, Zircon Sand, Rutile, Ilmenite, Manganese Ore, Wolframite, Lepidolite, and Graphite Ore.
15+ Active MineralsWe issue formal Soft Corporate Offers (SCOs) within 48 hours of receiving buyer specifications. A complete SCO from Augustina Impex Limited includes: full product specification and assay data, pricing basis and currency, monthly volume capacity, Incoterms, payment terms, pre-shipment inspection arrangements, export documentation list, and delivery timeline. Buyers may request SCOs for any mineral commodity in our active portfolio by submitting their grade, volume, destination, and Incoterm requirements via WhatsApp or email.
48-Hour TurnaroundWe coordinate pre-shipment quality, weight, and grade verification with internationally accredited third-party inspection bodies, including CCIC (China Certification & Inspection Group), SGS, and Bureau Veritas. Inspection is conducted at the seller's warehouse or designated loading point in Nigeria prior to shipment, providing buyers with internationally recognised certification of the mineral commodity's specification, weight, and condition before payment is released or cargo is loaded.
CCIC / SGS / Bureau VeritasFor buyers who require independent laboratory analysis before committing to a commercial order, we procure and dispatch representative mineral samples to buyer-nominated laboratories worldwide. We manage the full sampling workflow: collection from the mineral stockpile, proper packaging, preparation of required shipping documentation, and dispatch via appropriate courier or air cargo services. For NORM-classified minerals such as Monazite Sand, we coordinate specialist IATA Dangerous Goods freight forwarders for sample shipment compliance.
Global Sample DispatchThrough our operational partnership with a Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) Processing Plant in Jos, Plateau State, we offer toll processing services to Nigerian mine owners and mineral traders who hold raw ore but require beneficiation into commercially graded concentrate before sale. The plant uses gravity separation (spiral concentrators and shaking tables), magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, and multi-stage classification to upgrade heavy mineral sand feeds into marketable concentrates. Toll processing is available on a per-tonne basis for third-party ore owners.
Jos, Plateau StateWe prepare and manage the complete export documentation package required for every international mineral shipment from Nigeria, including: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme (NESS) Certificate, NEPC Export Declaration, Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (CCIC/SGS/BV), Bill of Lading / Air Waybill, and all commodity-specific regulatory permits (e.g. NNRA export permit for Monazite Sand). All exports are processed through Jase Odus Nigeria Limited (RC 2022462), our licensed export entity.
Full Documentation PackageWe provide qualified buyers and industry partners with current Nigerian solid minerals market intelligence, including: commodity pricing benchmarks at the mine gate and export port, available grades and volumes by mineral type, regulatory compliance guidance for Nigerian mineral exports, logistical route options from mine to export port, and strategic advisory on supply chain structuring for sustained long-term mineral procurement from Nigeria. This service is particularly valuable for buyers who are new to the Nigerian minerals market and require reliable ground-level intelligence before committing to procurement.
