Our Projects
From Exploration to Production
Flagship Production Project: Tin
Our success is built on a foundation of robust exploration. By identifying commercially viable tin reserves in the historically mineral-rich Plateau State, we transitioned rapidly from discovery to production.
A focused 4-month civil works program established the necessary infrastructure, including access roads, a dedicated processing plant, and purpose-built dams to ensure a constant, reliable water supply.
Official production commenced in August 2025, and we have successfully ramped up to a steady-state output of 25 tons per month (minimum).
Beyond this producing asset, MEXCON maintains a robust pipeline of commercially viable tin projects. Spanning both alluvial and hardrock deposits across 200km² in Nigeria’s North Central and North-West geopolitical zones, this pipeline secures our long-term growth in the tin sector.
