Olamilikan Adegbite, will personally welcome attendees at the upcoming Nigeria Mining Week when he delivers the ministerial address during the opening session on 1 November, followed by a VIP tour of the exhibition floor. The live event is making a much-lauded return to the nation's capital at the Abuja International Conference Center from 1–3 November, connecting the entire mining value chain to reconnect face-to-face and explore the many exciting opportunities that the mining sector in this West African powerhouse offers.

True potential of Nigeria as a mining destination
Proud partners of the event include the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development and the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) in collaboration with PwC Nigeria and VUKA Group.

The industry has also given the event an enthusiastic stamp of approval with leading expert companies and projects eager to showcase what is widely regarded as the next best investment destination for mining houses and investors. These include Titan Minerals Ltd, the diamond plus sponsor of the event, (formerly known as AG Vision Mining), a leading mineral exploration company and a longstanding participant of Nigeria Mining Week.

The MD and founder of Titan Minerals Ltd, Fadi A. Ghazale, is excited about what the future holds for the Nigerian mining sector: "We are seeing a steady flow of interest from junior exploration companies, mostly based in the UK, in Australia and Canada, that are curious about knowing the real potential of Nigeria and whether Nigeria is really, or will become, a mining destination with large mines and big projects. We are currently working on several projects, mostly related to gold, base metals and tin. Most importantly, there is a very large interest in battery minerals, with a large focus on lithium pegmatites. We are currently working for several clients with an interest in these particular minerals."

Other leading lights in the Nigerian extractive sector that will enjoy great exposure in the Nigeria Mining Week programme include the platinum sponsors: Africa Finance Corporation, the gold sponsors: FBN Bank, IAC Gold, Rapidlink and Segilola Resources Operating Limited, and the silver sponsors: African Natural Resources & Mines, Beak Consultants, Guideline Geo, HSiT Africa, Juggernaut Industries and Xugong Nigeria Company Limited.
