Dan Nize Mines is an owner-operator building long-term mineral export chains across Africa. We mine our own sites, aggregate from proven producers, and deliver through one verified, compliant channel.
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.
Every consignment is sample-tested and validated before purchase, and graded against agreed specifications before export.
Cassiterite concentrate from proven producing sources.
Spodumene and lepidolite ores for the battery value chain.
Columbite for high-strength alloy and technology applications.

Copper ore and concentrate for industrial-scale offtake.

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.

We take buyers to real mines with real output. Due diligence is welcomed, not avoided.
Active relationships with international buyers and partners, including Chinese industrial and government-aligned groups.
