The Bentonite Project Funding of Terraminer Limited, Benin, Nigeria, West Africa.

  • Records have it that oil drill operations started in 1951 using imported Bentonite largely from the US.
  • Before now millions of dollars are spent in the procurement of Bentonite annually which is not healthy for the economy of the country and the sub region West Africa.
  • The justification for the importation was based on the belief that Na-Bentonite did not exist in Nigeria particularly being a tropical country because Na-Bentonite is traditionally a temperate mineral.
  • But fossil Na-Bentonite deposited under reducing and alkaline environment can occur in tropical countries.
  • This issue developed into a long drawn controversy and debate among the earth scientists, petroleum engineers and the multinational oil companies. The matter has remained unresolved.
  • In 1992, Terraminer led By Prof. Williams Emofurieta, reported the occurrence of more than 2 billion metric tons of Bentonite reserve in Nigeria and the successful development of oil-well drilling mud from same but many did not believe. As of today, proven reserve has risen to more than 4 billion MT.
  • The report was subsequently published in Portugal in 2001 during the International Conference on Clays. This was after more than 15 years of continuous fieldwork and laboratory research.
  • Results of our findings were made known to the Alh. Abdul Kadir-Committee on the Production of Bentonite from Nigerian source rocks.
  • In 2001, SPDC decided to use the Nigerian Bentonite for the drilling of all the SHELL- EA Project Wells as a test.
  • It is now on record that more than 600 wells have been successfully drilled in both east and west of the Niger Delta without the slightest hitch and it is still drilling at this moment.
  • Quite recently, the Nigerian Steel company has decided to use our raw Bentonite ore as a binder in their manufacturing operations. They will be needing 100MT/day. This no doubt is a great challenge to Terra Miners Ltd. We are currently at the pilot test stage after very successful laboratory test runs.
  • There is therefore, absolutely no need for the importation of even a gram of Bentonite or Aqua Gel into Nigeria anymore. The Government of the day is encouraging investment in mineral resources. The oil industry in Nigeria is the most profitable best in West Africa. Terraminer is determined to maintain it’s leading role in exploration and exploitation of Bentonite in West Africa, hence it’s search for multimillion dollar investment funding in building a virile modern up to date company.
  • The company in 2004 signed an agreement with Bestkamco Resources to liase and seek financing for the Bentonite Project from offshore and interested investors to the tune of 5 million US dollars, so as to build a local but multinational standard oil servicing company.
  • Terraminers has made good profit on adhoc supply of the crude to oil companies such as Haliburton, Barroid and others in Nigeria to date, the company is determined to maintain this and export the product to all nooks and crannies of the world.
