CENGREEN Expands Mining Footprint to Zamfara, Strengthens Presence in Cross River and Benue

As part of its strategic drive to build a diversified portfolio across critical sectors of the Nigerian economy, CENGREEN Group of Companies has expanded its mining operations to Zamfara State, marking another significant milestone in the company's growing investments in Nigeria's solid minerals sector.

The latest expansion complements the company's existing mining interests in Cross River State and its ongoing exploration activities in Benue State, reinforcing CENGREEN's commitment to unlocking Nigeria's vast mineral resources through responsible and sustainable mining practices.

One of CENGREEN's subsidiaries has held a valid mining licence since 2024 for the exploration and mining of gold in Cross River State. The licence covers 15 cadastral units located in Boki Local Government Area, an area recognised for its significant gold deposits and mining potential.

Building on the success of its operations in Cross River, the company has commenced preliminary activities in Benue State as part of its long-term expansion strategy. These early-stage engagements include geological assessments, stakeholder consultations and regulatory processes aimed at establishing commercially viable mining operations.

The company's latest move into Zamfara State represents a major step in its national expansion agenda. Zamfara, widely regarded as one of Nigeria's most mineral-rich states with substantial gold reserves, offers significant opportunities for responsible mining, investment and job creation.

Speaking on the expansion, the management of CENGREEN Group reiterated its commitment to operating in line with all regulatory requirements while prioritising environmental sustainability, community development and local content participation.

According to the company, its mining investments are designed not only to create value for shareholders but also to stimulate economic growth, generate employment opportunities, promote technology transfer and contribute to the development of host communities.

With interests spanning oil and gas, real estate, aviation, mining and other strategic sectors, CENGREEN Group continues to position itself as one of Africa's emerging diversified business groups, leveraging strategic investments, operational excellence and responsible leadership to drive sustainable growth across the continent.
