The company’s initial artisanal mining phase aims to establish a solid foundation for the project, ensuring sustainable growth and community involvement. This phase will be crucial in generating the necessary capital to fund the subsequent mechanized mining operations, which will significantly enhance the project’s scale and efficiency.
Ehtca Group Lithium Nigeria is committed to contributing to Nigeria’s growing presence in the global lithium market. By leveraging local resources and expertise, the company aims to maximize local participation and align with Nigerian stakeholders for long-term success.
“We believe that our phased approach will not only provide immediate economic benefits to local communities through artisanal mining but also pave the way for more advanced mechanized operations,” comments Ehtca Group chairperson. “This strategy will enable us to meet the increasing global demand for lithium and tantalum while fostering sustainable development in Nigeria.”
The project is expected to make a significant impact on Nigeria’s mining industry, introducing new opportunities for local investors and stakeholders. Ehtca Group Lithium Nigeria’s commitment to involving local communities and investors aims to create shared ownership in the country’s emerging green minerals sector.
“We are at an exciting juncture in our development, with several key milestones on the horizon,” says the chairperson. “In the coming months, we expect to complete critical preparatory steps that will advance the project towards full-scale mining operations. This includes finalizing artisanal mining setups, securing necessary permits, and initiating the competitive process for strategic partnerships.”
Ehtca Group Lithium Nigeria’s pioneering approach and strategic planning underscore its dedication to establishing a robust and sustainable lithium mining industry in Nigeria. The company’s efforts are poised to contribute significantly to the global electrification transition and to meet global climate change objectives.
