Igun Zinc Metal
Zinc (Zn) is used industrially as a corrosion-resistant metal for galvanizing steel. Zinc metal is often found in geological formations like the Copperbelt or the Benue Trough in Africa, with significant zinc deposits and major producers in Nigeria, South Africa, Namibia, Morocco, Zambia, and the DRC.
Igun Nickel Metal
Nickel (Ni) is the "devil's copper". It is a hard transition metal known for strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance that is primarily used in electroplating, EV batteries, aerospace alloys (jet engines), and coins. Top global producers and reserves of Nickel are in Indonesia, Philippines, Caledonia, Russia, and Australia, while Africa holds approximately 7% of global nickel reserves.
Igun Lead Metal
Lead (Pb) is a soft and dense bluish-gray metal known for its malleability, low melting point, and corrosion resistance. Lead is useful for batteries, radiation shielding, ammunition, and alloys. Up to 80% of global lead metal is used for lead-acid batteries. China, Australia, United States, Peru, and Mexico are the top global producers of lead metal, while in Africa, companies and mines in Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Namibia, and Zambia are the major producers for both primary lead ore and recycled lead from scrap materials.
