Navigating the legal and regulatory landscape of Nigeria’s mining sector can be complex. Whether you’re an investor, small-scale operator, mineral trader, or exporter, one thing is certain: you must have the right licenses and permits to operate legally.
At the Nigerian Mineral Exchange, we provide end-to-end support for mining licenses and mineral trading/ export permits in Nigeria—from initial applications to renewals and full compliance advisory.
Why Proper Licensing Matters
Operating without the correct mining titles or trading permits can result in:
- Legal penalties and shutdowns
- Ineligibility for government incentives
- Loss of investor confidence
- Export restrictions or seizure of goods
Our services are designed to ensure that you start right and stay compliant throughout the lifecycle of your business.
