About Us
Mining Today is a dedicated news and industry intelligence platform covering Nigeria’s extractive industries, with a particular focus on solid minerals, mining, crude oil and energy extraction, climate and environmental rights, and the technologies and equipment transforming the sector. We deliver timely, credible, and insightful reporting on industry developments, mining operations, investments, commodities, and markets, along with in-depth coverage of policies, legislation, regulations, and reforms shaping the sector. We also cover major industry conferences, summits, high-level dialogues, policy engagements, and stakeholder forums where decisions shaping Nigeria’s natural resources and extractive economy are made.
We go beyond breaking news to deliver investigative reporting, analysis, data-driven journalism and expert perspectives on mining and extraction activities, licences, projects, companies, regulatory compliance, illegal mining, environmental impacts, energy development and the responsible management of natural resources. We also monitor equipment, technology and innovation, including automation, artificial intelligence, advanced exploration and extraction techniques, mineral processing, energy technologies and sustainable practices reshaping the industry.
Community & Voices is central to our journalism. We bring the experiences and perspectives of miners, engineers, geologists, energy professionals, investors, policymakers, industry leaders, environmental advocates, researchers, host communities and other stakeholders to the forefront. Through field reporting and human-centred storytelling, we examine how extractive activities affect livelihoods, local economies, communities, public health, environmental sustainability and climate and environmental rights.
With a strong Nigeria, Africa and Global South focus, Mining Today examines Africa’s strategic position in global mineral, energy and resource supply chains, particularly amid rising demand for critical minerals and the global transition towards cleaner energy. Our mission is to provide news, intelligence, accountability and informed perspectives that enable industry stakeholders, policymakers, investors, researchers, communities and the wider public to understand the opportunities, challenges and emerging trends shaping the future of mining, energy and natural-resource development.
