Who we are

We mine. We aggregate. We export.

Dan Nize Mines Ltd is an Africa-focused mining and mineral trading company, registered in Nigeria and headquartered in Lagos. We operate mining sites of our own and aggregate structured supply from contracted producers across Africa's key mineral belts — an owner-operator model that gives us direct control over quality and volume.

We exist to solve the problem that keeps serious foreign buyers away from African minerals: fragmented supply, inconsistent quality, and unreliable counterparties. Our answer is structure — owned production, contracted miners, validated samples, transparent pricing, and a single disciplined export channel backed by strong banking and government relationships.

Our strategic shareholders include Amyvie Ventures, whose founder Ibrahim Tsahirou serves on our board — connecting us to an international network of industrial and government-aligned partners.

Where we operate

An African footprint, built country by country.

We grow the same way we trade — deliberately. Each market is entered with local partners, proper licensing and verified supply before a single shipment moves.

Stage02

Standard pricing

Transparent pricing windows benchmarked to prevailing market conditions. No opacity, no games.

Stage03

Single export channel

All material flows through Dan Nize Mines. We handle export, FX, shipping and documentation end-to-end.

Stage04

Verified payment flow

Buyers pay us; suppliers are settled after verification. Every party is protected at every step.

Stage05

Channel discipline

No side deals, no bypassing. This discipline is what keeps quality consistent and large buyers committed.

“This is bigger than any single deal — this is system building.”
