Mining industry of Nigeria
Mining is the extraction or removal of minerals and metals from the earth. The Nigerian Coal Corporation is a parastatal corporation that was formed in 1950 and held a monopoly on the mining, processing, and sales of coal, lignite, and coke products until 1999. Coal was first discovered in Enugu in 1909 at the Udi Ridge in Enugu. It was found by Albert Kitson, a British mine engineer. Coal geology is a mixture of sedimentary rock and ancient vegetation tThe few metallic minerals of importance are those of iron ore, lead-zinc, tin-tantalum, gold, manganese, and probably nickel. They occur as relatively small Overview of Nigeria's Mineral Resources in the Context of Africa's

Nigeria’s officially documented gold production began in 1913 and reached its peak between 1933 and 1943, when roughly 1.4t of gold was produced. Due to abandoned of mines by largely colonial businesses, gold production dropped as the Second World War was ongoing and never recovered.
