Monazite Sand Supplier in Nigeria

Monazite sand is quickly emerging as one of the most sought-after rare earth minerals globally, and Nigeria is uniquely positioned to take advantage of its growing demand. At Augustina Impex Limited, we are at the forefront of unlocking the economic value embedded in Nigeria’s monazite-rich regions through sustainable and efficient mining practices.

What is Monazite Sand?

Monazite is a brown phosphate mineral that contains rare earth elements such as thorium, cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium. These elements are critical for manufacturing high-tech products like smartphones, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and military-grade electronics.

Due to the rise in clean energy and smart technologies, monazite sand is gaining global attention. Nigeria, with its vast untapped mineral resources, has become a new hub for sourcing high-grade monazite, particularly in states like Plateau, Nasarawa, Kogi, and Taraba.

Monazite Sand Deposits in Nigeria

Several regions in Nigeria, especially the North Central and Middle Belt zones, have been identified through geological surveys as hosts of significant monazite sand deposits. These include:

Wamba and Awe in Nasarawa State
Langtang and Wase in Plateau State
Lokoja and Ajaokuta in Kogi State
Bali and Gembu in Taraba State

Augustina Impex Limited operates across many of these zones, working with local communities and miners to responsibly extract and process monazite sand for international markets.

Export Potential of Monazite Sand from Nigeria
