Nigerian Ilmenite

High-Grade Ilmenite from Nigeria for Global Titanium Industries

At Kelechi Minerals Nigeria Limited, we proudly offer high-quality Nigerian ilmenite sourced from rich mineral deposits across Nigeria. Our ilmenite sand and titanium ore are known for their strong TiO₂ content, stable mineral structure, and suitability for use in pigment production, welding rod manufacturing, steel hardening, aerospace materials, and advanced metallurgical processes.

We don’t just supply minerals—we deliver confidence, reliability, and a professional export experience that global buyers can count on.

🔶 Why Nigerian Ilmenite?

Nigeria’s ilmenite deposits remain among the most promising in Africa. The mineral is valued for its:

  • High titanium dioxide (TiO₂) concentration
  • Strong magnetic properties
  • Low levels of deleterious impurities
  • Excellent suitability for beneficiation and upgrading
  • Versatility across several industrial applications

These qualities make Nigerian ilmenite an attractive raw material for titanium-based manufacturing and for industries requiring stable mineral performance under heat and pressure.
