Roberts Corporate advises clients in relation to mineral exploration and production. We have over the years acquired significant mining experience and are often sought out by clients for advisory on Nigeria’s legal, regulatory and investment framework in the mineral sector.

 The firm has a notable presence in Nigeria’s mining industry and often advises on mineral matters including licensing and mineral titles, community development agreements, mineral land rights, etc. The firm is currently advising on the development of a mineral project for the development of a globally acclaimed geologic discovery in Nigeria’s North-West.

The group offers a diverse set of services to international and local interests in the mining sector, including procurement of mineral rights and titles, leases, and permits in close coordination with the relevant Ministries; draft, review and advising on partnership agreements for participatory interests and other resulting contracts; coordination of negotiations with host communities and engaging artisanal miners; relevant due diligence compliance, amongst others.

We are also actively involved in facilitating and pushing for on-going reforms in the mining and extractive industry in Nigeria and advise regulators and industry stakeholders on practical steps to nurture the sector.
