Aurelia Mining Company Ltd, a British gold mining firm, has announced plans to invest $100 million in gold production in Nigeria.

The company’s director, Julian Hammond, who spoke during a visit to  the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Arc Olamilekan Adegbite, said they see Nigeria  becoming a powerhouse in gold production in Western Africa and aspiring to diversify the economy away from oil and gas and have come to key into the country’s abundant mineral potentials.
