From Pit to Port
Nigeria has more than forty solid minerals, and buyers around the world want them. Yet many people who enter the mining business lose money through four mistakes: paying for grades they haven't verified, moving minerals without the right papers, quoting prices that wipe out their profit, and sending money to fraudsters.
From Pit to Port shows you how to avoid all four. It follows a mineral cargo from the pit where it is dug to the port where it leaves Nigeria. It is written by Kolawole King, CEO of Augustina Impex Limited, a Jos-based company that exports Nigerian minerals to buyers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
