Nigeria is one of the Africa countries with abundant lead natural resources deposits and minerals. Lead is a metallic element primarily produced from the mineral, galena.
Most mineral ore contains lead with only about 3 of these minerals commercially viable, they are galena, cerussite, and anglesite and are mostly found in conjunction with other metals like zinc and silver. We have the capacity to supply more than 1000MT monthly.

Properties of Chrome Ore:
Chrome ore, primarily consisting of chromite (FeCrO), is rich in iron, chromium, and oxygen. is a mineral that serves as the main source of chromium. Chromium is a critical element used in various industries.
Appearance: It usually appears as dark gray to black with a metallic luster.
Hardness: It's relatively hard, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5.
Density: High density, which makes it useful in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Mining and Production:
Mining Process:
Open-pit Mining: Suitable for deposits near the surface.
Underground Mining: Used for deeper deposits.
Ore Processing: Chrome ore is processed into ferrochrome (an alloy of chromium and iron) through smelting in an electric arc furnace. This is a crucial material in stainless steel production.
Applications:
1.Stainless Steel: Chromium gives stainless steel its corrosion-resistant properties. Nearly 80% of the world's chromium is used in this sector.
2.Refractories: Chrome ore is used to manufacture heat-resistant bricks and lining for furnaces.
3.Chemical Industry: Used to produce chromium chemicals for pigments, tanning leather, and anodizing aluminum.
4.Foundry Sand: Processed chrome ore is used in mold-making during metal casting.
Galena, also called lead glance, is the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide (PbS). It is the most important ore of lead and an important source of silver.
