The Federal Government has announced the discovery of several valuable mineral deposits in Kaduna State, including platinum group metals, gold, nickel, copper, lithium and rare earth elements.
The findings are expected to boost interest in the mining sector and attract new investments.
Officials said the discoveries were made during ongoing mineral exploration activities aimed at identifying resources that can support economic growth and reduce reliance on oil revenue.
The deposits are spread across different parts of the state.
