Critical Minerals Development

A licensed opportunity. A disciplined development pathway.

Surge Forte is expanding its resource-development platform into Nigeria’s critical and strategic minerals sector, with interests in Nasarawa State spanning lithium, limestone, gold, lead-zinc and copper.

The development programme is focused on building the technical, operational and commercial foundations required to progress mineral opportunities from early-stage evaluation through mine development, pilot extraction and ultimately commercial-scale operations.

Our approach combines resource evaluation, mine planning, equipment strategy, regulatory compliance and collaboration with experienced technical and strategic partners, with the objective of developing efficient, responsible and scalable mining operations.

Development & incubation

The project remains in a technical planning and evaluation phase. Geological assessment, mine strategy, equipment evaluation and regulatory planning are being progressed before commercial-scale development.

Development pathway

From resource evaluation.
To responsible scale.

  1. 01Exploration & Resource Evaluation

    Geological assessment, sampling and resource understanding.

  2. 02Development & Incubation

    Mine planning, equipment evaluation and partnership structuring.

  3. 03Pilot Extraction

    Controlled trial operations subject to technical and regulatory readiness.

  4. 04Commercial Scale

    Phased development following validated resources and investment decisions.

Current focus
  • Exploration and resource evaluation
  • Mine planning and lithium ore extraction strategy
  • Crushing and material handling studies
  • Environmental and regulatory compliance
  • Strategic technical partnerships
Planned operating platform
  • 45–70 tonne hydraulic excavators
