The Sokoto State government, through Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC), is offering investors the opportunity to invest in the mining of kaolin.
Kaolin otherwise known as china clay is a white, inert material which is chemically a hydrous form of aluminium silicate. It is a major raw material for the paint, soap, plastics, detergent, ceramic and paper industries. The fertiliser industry also uses it as a neutraliser.
Commercial deposits of kaolin exist in the Illela local government area (LGA) of Sokoto State while other occurrences have been reported in Tangaza, Bodinga, Yabo and Gada LGAs.
