Mining/Quarrying Prospects

Kaolin/Feldspar Deposit

Architype has Small Scale Mining Lease over vast deposits of Kaolin and Feldspar located in Oyo State where geologists are exploring to determine the quality and reserve of the deposits. Results from the field show that the kaolin is of pharmaceutical grade and can also be used for ceramics manufacturing.

Granite Deposit

The company has a Small Scale Mining Lease over areas of granite outcrops that can be quarried for aggregates (chippings) for building and road construction and dimension stones for flooring, wall facing and ornamental uses.
