Welcome to the Solid Minerals Investments and Trade Mission to Nigeria (SMITM 2026)
The Solid Minerals Investment & Trade Mission to Nigeria 2026 is a targeted, deal-oriented platform designed to attract global mining companies, processors, and strategic investors to Nigeria’s rapidly emerging solid minerals sector.
The Mission showcases opportunities across exploration, processing, downstream industrial integration, and export-oriented value addition, leveraging Nigeria’s rich mineral endowment, ongoing sector reforms, and growing demand for construction materials, base metals, precious minerals, and energy-transition inputs.
