Segilola Resources Champions Eco-Friendly Mining in Nigeria

Segilola Resources operates Nigeria's first large-scale gold mine, focusing on environmental stewardship throughout its operations. The company commits to integrating ecosystem restoration at every stage, conducting detailed Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) and establishing a no net loss strategy to safeguard biodiversity.

Their proactive approach includes real-time monitoring and management of energy emissions and waste, alongside a closure plan to ensure land reclamation. In 2024, the mine's total water demand is projected at 1,479.3 million liters, with a commitment to significantly reduce freshwater withdrawal.

The company has also launched a Livelihood Restoration Program (LRP) to create self-sustaining enterprises, such as fish farming and market gardening, benefiting local communities. By 2025, these initiatives aim to generate substantial agricultural yields and strengthen community resilience, thereby enhancing the social license to operate.

Rigorous data-driven monitoring and quarterly audits by third-party experts ensure transparency and accountability in environmental practices.
