Global demand for specialty and base metals is escalating. That's because the world's growing population consumes more and more items that use these metals... items such as computers, flat-screen TVs, and automobiles. Precious metals like gold has become a mainstay for the affluent. Every liquid crystal display (LCD) on the market contains tin. Similarly, zinc occur in most cars cruising highways. The Gemstones industry is equally growing speedy fast.
Furthermore, manufacturing these high-demand items takes energy. The energy comes mainly from fossil fuel, nuclear or hydroelectric sources, all of which use specialty metals. Scientists are also finding new roles for specialty metals in alternative energy systems. For example, Lead is used for as the essential building block for a piezoelectric nanogenerator which has found its use in mechanical energy associated with human activities such as blood circulation, respiration, walking, typing and running.
Commercially viable deposits of Gold, Gemstones, Lead, Zinc, tin and tantalite are uncommon. Deposits containing gemstones are also rare. Northern Nigeria is among the fewest known deposit in the world where precious metals, non-ferrous metals and gems occur within close proximity, in economic quantities and under such favourable geographic and political conditions.
These metal deposits are mineralogically diverse. Fordshire has acquired some acreages/concessions to develop minerals ore for the purpose of converting the various metals into concentrates and eventually exporting them for trading. The processes designed to meet or exceed the most stringent environmental regulations.
