Date: November 6, 2025 – Breaking confirmation from The Guardian: Benue State has confirmed gold deposits in Kwande and riverine areas.
If you own land anywhere in Nigeria – please read this now. Another mainstream newspaper has confirmed what we’ve been saying for months: gold is being found in places that until recently were written off as “non-gold” areas. The Director of Solid Minerals in Benue, Anselm Nege, has publicly confirmed reports of gold in Kwande Local Government Area and aluminium along riverine stretches of the state. The state is already monitoring activities and setting up regulatory oversight; proof that discoveries are real and that attention is turning from rumor to regulation and formal development.
This is not a drill. It’s not a whisper on WhatsApp. It’s a confirmed, named, dated report in a national paper (November 6, 2025). If you are a landowner, this is your trigger to act – not tomorrow, today.
Why this matters to you (in plain terms)
- Hidden value: Many Nigerian landowners are sitting on valuable mineral deposits and don’t even know it. Land gets sold, leased, or mortgaged without any mineral check; sometimes for peanuts – only for the buyer or a stranger to later discover mineral wealth.
- Opportunity cost: Selling or leasing land without checking for minerals can mean losing long-term value. A few hours with the right detector can reveal deposits that pay for decades.
- Regulatory window: States like Benue are already moving to formalize and regulate mining. That means legitimate owners who act early can secure rights, partner with credible investors, and benefit from formal recognition, instead of being sidelined by illegal, unregulated operations.
The cold truth: most owners don’t know what’s under their feet
Across Nigeria, land is transferred every day with no mineral due diligence. Miners – organised and informal, move fast when word leaks. Once outsiders start mining your land (legally or illegally), the game becomes a scramble for compensation, recognition, and safety. In many cases, the landowner is left with environmental damage, disrupted livelihoods, and no clear title to any recovered minerals.
You don’t need geology degrees or expensive lab tests to take the first step. You need the right tool and a plan.
Meet the GDX-8000 — the detector built for this moment
If the news from Benue teaches us anything, it’s that opportunity is now. The GDX-8000 is designed for exactly this kind of rapid, field-first discovery:
- Deep detection – finds targets that traditional shallow detectors miss, increasing your chance of locating hard-to-see deposits.
- User-friendly – built for landowners, not just seasoned prospectors. Minimal training, quick results.
- Affordable – made to put high-end detection power within reach of ordinary Nigerians and local cooperatives.
- Portable and robust – works on farms, riverine areas, rocky outcrops – the places where recent discoveries have shown up.
In short, when news like Benue’s drops, the GDX-8000 gets you in the game fast. It’s the difference between “I wish I’d checked” and “I found it and secured my future.”
Action plan for every Nigerian landowner (step-by-step)
- Don’t sell or lease your land in haste. If you’re negotiating a sale or lease, pause until you’ve checked for minerals. A quick on-site scan could materially change the value and terms.
- Scan your land now. Use a proven deep detector like the GDX-8000, or hire a certified local operator who uses one. Quick scans across accessible farm plots, riverbanks, and outcrops are the lowest-cost, highest-return first step.
- Document everything. GPS-tag scans, take photos, and keep timestamps. If anything is found, documented evidence strengthens your legal and commercial position.
- Engage the authorities legally. If you confirm mineral presence, inform the Solid Minerals authority and follow the proper channels to secure rights and permits. Although mining is under the Federal Government, Benue’s government, for example, is setting regulatory structures to welcome credible investors and to supervise operations.
- Protect the environment. Any responsible approach balances economic benefit with environmental care. If mining proceeds, insist on sustainable practices, rehabilitation plans, and community safeguards – this protects long-term value for you and your neighbors.
What to say if someone offers to buy your land today
- “I need time to check the land for minerals and get it properly assessed.”
- “I will scan the property and get back with documented results.”
These responses protect you from rushed deals and preserve leverage. A confirmed mineral find transforms a simple land sale into a mineral negotiation, and that means far greater value.

Quick Q&A
Q: Can I use a detector myself?
A: Yes. The GDX-8000 was built for rapid learning curves. If you prefer, hire trained operators who can give you a certified scan and report.
Q: Will the government shut this down?
A: Governments are moving to formalize and regulate, not to stop discovery. Benue’s public confirmation shows states are preparing oversight, which benefits lawful landowners who come forward.
Q: Is this environmentally risky?
A: Any mining has environmental implications. That’s why we urge landowners to insist on environmental plans and to work with reputable partners and state authorities.
Final word – this is a once-in-a-lifetime wave
Benue’s confirmation is the latest in a string of discoveries across Nigeria that together form a pattern: mineral wealth is more widespread than popular maps suggest. If you own land in Nigeria – personal, communal, or corporate lands- you now have an obligation to check what’s beneath your feet. The right action today could fund your family for generations. The wrong action – selling or leasing without checking could mean walking away from real wealth.
If you want to scan your land now, consider the GDX-8000: engineered for deep finds, affordable, and built for the Nigerian moment. Don’t be the landowner who says, “I wish I had checked” – be the one who found it first.
