Nigeria, endowed with a vast array of solid minerals, is gaining global attention for its rich deposits of fluorite ore, also known as fluorspar. Fluorite, composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂), is an essential industrial mineral used extensively in the metallurgical, chemical, and ceramic industries. As the world increasingly looks to Africa for raw materials, Nigeria is poised to become a significant player in the fluorite mining and export market.
At Augustina Impex Limited, we are proud to be at the forefront of fluorite ore sourcing, mining, and export in Nigeria. Our operations span across key mineral-rich regions including Nasarawa, Zamfara, Plateau, and Bauchi States, where fluorite deposits occur naturally in commercial quantities.
What is Fluorite Ore?
Fluorite is a halide mineral that typically appears in purple, green, or colorless forms. It plays a vital role in:
Steelmaking as a flux to lower melting points
Hydrofluoric acid production used in various chemicals
Ceramic and glass manufacturing
Optical applications, including lenses and specialized equipment
Because of these diverse applications, fluorite has become an in-demand mineral globally, especially in markets such as Germany, China, India, and the USA.
The State of Fluorite Mining in Nigeria
Although relatively untapped, Nigeria possesses large untapped reserves of fluorite. The Nigerian government, through its Minerals and Mining Act, has encouraged investment in the sector, making it attractive to both local and international players.
Despite its potential, the fluorite mining industry in Nigeria faces challenges including:
Limited data on verified reserves
Underdeveloped infrastructure
