2. COMPANY INTRODUCTION
JIDET Nigeria Limited is a leading name in Solid and
Industrial Minerals Exploration and Mining with an
attractive portfolio of coal (Lignite), Gold and Kaolin.
We are a limited liability company registered with
Corporate Affairs Commission with the head office
located at No 26 Idi-ishin main avenue Jericho
Reservation area, Ibadan Oyo state. Our vision which is
to become the leading producer of Solid and Industrial
minerals in Africa, which is the driving force that defines
how we conduct our business as a leading producer of
coal to power generation in Africa.

3. INTRODUCTION
 This presentation content details of
reconnaissance survey, Geological mapping,
Laboratory Analysis, and core drilling reports
of the lignite. The area of interest in which
the Economic mineral potential (Coal) is
investigated is in Uhunmwode LGA of Edo
state.

4. LOCATION

5. OBJECTIVES
 To explore the geology/structure of the
formation rock
 To explore for the availability of coal
 To determines the occurrence, quality,
quantity and marketability of the said mineral.
 To determine the reserve estimate of the coal
present within the area.

6. METHODOLOGY
 During the exploration program, Jidet Nigeria
Limited engaged a team of Geologist to
investigate for the occurrences of Coal in the
area through the following:
 Geological mapping
 Core drilling
 Geochemical analyses

7. GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
 The geological mapping of the license
area was carried out with the aim of
determining the geology of the area.
From field observation and physical
assessment of the samples recovered, it
was observed that the samples which
are brown in colouration are classified
into the category of lower rank of coals.
The lignite is well exposed along the
river channels, generally low lying within
a depression (Fig. 2). The exposure is
extensive up to about 80m along the
river channel and further extends under
a shallow overburden and vegetation
cover. The occurrence of the lignite
seams are centralized in the delineated
portion of the licensed area. The lignite
seams strike in the direction of 2620and
dip 640to the west; they have varied
thicknesses along the river channel. Two
layer seams occur along the river
channel with the upper layer having a
thickness of 0.7m followed by the clay-
shale layer with a thickness of 0.8m,
while the lower layer thickness could not
be ascertain but extends downwards
(Fig. 3).

10. CORE DRILLING
 The drilling programme on the license area on EL 14643 in Ujiamenin
Uhunmwonde Local government area of Edo State commenced after the
presentation of the report of the geological mapping. The recommended
points of drilling as indicated on the map, first aim at drilling within the
area of concentration of the coal while the drilling is extended to the
other areas. The total area of the concentration of the coal is about
4.94kmsq. The area of concentration of the coal was well grid
according to the geological report and twenty (20) drilling points were
located with the aid of GPS. The drilling diameter is 52mm while the
drilling depth is 40m. During the drilling operations, the lithological
arrangement commonly encountered within the area includes:
 Sandstone of different colour which ranges from brown, yellowish,
reddish and whitish
 Clay stone
 Clay – shale
 Coal

18. ESTIMATION OF THE LIGNITE PROVEN RESERVES (UP TO
35 METERS)
 Reserves = Area (L* B) * thickness*
Specific Gravity
 Length = 2.6km
 Breath = 1.9km
 Area = 2.6* 1.9 = 4.94km2
 Av. thickness =
 12+ 3 + 2.2 + 3 + 3+ 2.7 + 6+ 2.2 + 1.2
+ 9.1 + 6.4 = 50.8

50.8/11 = 4.62
 Specific gravity = 1.30
 Therefore, Reserve = 494000* 4.62 *
1.30 = 2,966,964
 The proven reserve of the drilled area
= 2,966,964 tons
 The estimation is for the area of 4.94km2
 The proven reserve for the drilled area is
2,966,964 tons.
 The proven reserve of the lignite within
the 4.94km is therefore 2,966,964 tons
 ESTIMATED RESERVE OF THE WHOLE
AREA
 Reserves = Area (L* B) * thickness*
Specific Gravity
 Length = 7.1.6km
 Breath = 7.15km
 Area = 7.16* 7.16 = 51.2km2
 Average thickness =
 12+ 3 + 2.2 + 3 + 3+ 2.7 + 6+ 2.2 + 1.2 +
9.1 + 6.4 = 50.8

50.8/11 = 4.62
 Specific gravity = 1.30
 Therefore, Reserve = 494000* 51.2 * 1.30
= 2,966,964
 The estimated reserve of the whole
area = 194, 560,000 tons

Geochemical analysis carried out after the coring

21. From the results of analysis in Table 1 and 2, it is obvious that the coal
is of lignite grade and is the main coal type found in the license area.
Coal ranks is as follows;
Peat---Lignite---Sub bituminous---Bitumen---Anthracite

22.  Lignite Uses
 About 79 percent of lignite coal is used
to generate electricity, 13.5 percent is
used to generate synthetic natural gas,
and 7.5 percent is used to produce
fertilizer products (anhydrous ammonia
& ammonium sulfate). A very small
percentage is used as home heating
fuel, for use as fertilizer and for use as
oil well drilling mud. The electricity
generated from lignite is used by over
2 million consumers and businesses in
the Upper Midwest, while the Great
Plains Synfuels Plant supplies
synthetic natural gas made from lignite
to 400,000 homes and businesses in
the East.

24. CONCUSION AND RECOMMEDATIONS
 The lignite occurrence proven reserve in an area of 4.96sq km is estimated to be
2,966,964 tons and an estimated reserve of 194, 560,000 tons
 The area, from literature, and previous studies has multiple seams of lignite (about 3, up
to about 200m) from preliminary geological investigation and previous geophysical
configurations of the Tertiary lignite series.
 The lignite in the area is mineable and economical
 Further drilling is ongoing to the depth of 80m to confirm the availability of other lignite
seam within the drilled area.
 Appropriate geochemical analysis will also be carried out to determine the quality of the
lignite with depth.
 With the depth of the over burden range between 18 and 35m, open cast mining will
therefore be suitable for the mining of the lignite in the area.
 During mining programme, caution will be taken considering the topography of the area.
Appropriate impact assessment of the area is ongoing before the commencement of the
mining of the lignite proper.
 The lignite within the area is enough to generate the proposed 1000mwatt of electricity.
And if we utilized 3,000,000 per annum, it is expected that. the project will last for an
average of 67years.
