Nigeria’s ambition to deepen local mineral beneficiation and strengthen its position in the global mining value chain gained fresh momentum as Dukia Gold & Precious Metals Refining Company Limited formalised an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) partnership with SGS Bateman, setting the stage for the structured execution of its flagship Dukia–Arinola polymetallic project.
The agreement marks a structured step forward for the Dukia–Arinola Mineral Resources Development Project, a polymetallic Mine-to-Market initiative located in Ose and Owo Local Government Areas of Ondo State within the Igarra Schist Belt (NGSA Owo Sheet 265).
The project spans approximately 184 square kilometres and covers SSML-053234, ML-066732, and EL-038524 licences.
