Solid minerals contributed immensely to the economic development of Nigeria in the pre-independence years. During this period, Nigeria was known for the production of coal as an energy source for electricity, railways and also for export. Tin, Columbite, Lead and Zinc were exported. Nigeria was the largest producer of Columbite at one point.

Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, which are made up of one or more minerals. They are typically formed through various geological processes, such as crystallization from a melt (igneous), precipitation from a solution (sedimentary), or metamorphism (metamorphic). Minerals can have a wide range of physical properties, including color
