flag Nigeria denies claims of foreign mining takeover, calls them false, and revokes licenses over unpaid fees.

flag Nigeria’s Ministry of Solid Minerals Development accused Jupiter Limited of orchestrating a false smear campaign ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s UK visit, dismissing claims of armed seizure of a British lithium project as baseless. flag The ministry confirmed no legal ties with Jupiter or foreign firms, citing the Minerals and Mining Act, and stated that mineral titles linked to Basin Mining Ltd—fronted by Australian national Steve Davis—were revoked for non-payment of ₦2.494 billion in fees. flag It denied reports that the titles were transferred to a Chinese company, calling them fabrications, and criticized Davis’s use of shell companies for speculative licensing, which fuels illegal mining. flag The government reaffirmed its commitment to reform, transparency, and attracting legitimate investment.
