Powering Nigeria’s future through responsible mining.

About the Mining Group

Essential minerals that fuel technology, industry and clean energy.

At the Mining Group of Tentanda Energies, we mine essential minerals — lithium, beryllium, lead ore and zinc — that fuel technology, industry and clean energy across Africa. As a proud Nigerian-owned company, we are committed to sustainable growth, local empowerment and environmental care.

Tentanda Energies Mining Group is a family-owned mining and exploration company operating in Kwara, Ogun and Nasarawa States of Nigeria, West Africa. We specialise in the responsible extraction and processing of lithium, lead and zinc — minerals that play a vital role in renewable energy, electronics and industrial development.

Born from a shared family vision to contribute to Nigeria’s natural resource development, Tentanda Energies has grown from a small prospecting venture into a trusted player in the mining industry. Our operations are guided by values of integrity, innovation and community empowerment, ensuring that every project benefits both people and planet.
