Commodity Index
02 / 08

Iron ore discovered in Kogi State in 2018 marked the founding moment of Onsien Energy's solid minerals strategy.

MD Victor Dipo Aina personally identified significant iron ore deposits in Kogi during prospecting activities in 2018. That discovery became the cornerstone of Onsien Energy's commodity portfolio and its long-term export strategy.

Our iron ore operations target both domestic steel producers and international buyers. Nigeria's steel sector is expanding rapidly, with demand far outpacing local supply. Onsien's Kogi deposits are positioned to serve both markets under active Mining EPL licences.

Through our South Africa partnership, Onsien also facilitates iron ore referrals to Asia-Pacific buyers, extending commercial reach beyond Nigeria's borders.

Where Our Iron Ore Goes
Steel Manufacturing
The primary end-use. Iron ore feeds blast furnaces and DRI plants producing the steel that drives construction, automotive, and infrastructure sectors.
Construction Industry
Nigeria's infrastructure expansion demands structural steel. Domestic iron ore supply reduces import dependency and lowers project costs nationally.
Export Markets
Asia-Pacific steel mills consume significant African iron ore volumes. Our South Africa referral network connects Onsien supply to verified international buyers.
