The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) – with the statutory role of providing relevant geological data for Nigeria-will be leading the technical steering committee of the JEMAA Resource Project in Kaduna State. The recent discovery of the multi-metallic deposit in Kaduna State, particularly the nickel, is of National and Geological interest. The NGSA welcomes the approach of the JEMAA Resource Project and the Kaduna State government for transparency in data sharing and their call for an independent resource verification process led by the NGSA. This collaboration will increase investor confidence in the Nigerian Mining sector and also enrich and update the geoscience information for the economic development of Nigeria via its mineral resources.

The technical steering committee also includes the leadership of Nigeria’s reputable geological firms, Geocardinal Engineering Services Limited and Fundamental Integrated Site Appraisal Services Limited (FISAS).
