The formation of the company was a response to the opportunity identified in the African mining sector by creating a new producer.
We have been very participatory in the development of other economic initiatives in the country and decided to exploit its knowledge of the Nigerian mineral terrain to set up a local company that will run with international spirit and to international standards. Haskalah was then set up as that company that will give expression to the vision of the promoters of having a leading mining company locally and a renowned metals trader internationally.
We commenced business in the middle of the year 2016, trading in Nigerian crude ores locally. It has since entered into strategic trade partnerships with some smelters in the Far East, especially China and is exploring opportunities in South Korea. In order to meet the demands of the international market and control the flow of its supply chain, the company has bought over leases rich in lead, zinc, Beryllium, copper, and Lithium currently acquired gold-bearing leases in Nigeria.
We have an advanced lead/zinc exploration property in Wase in Plateau state and an early (lead/zinc) stage exploration property, Garau site in Taraba state. In addition, we have acquired Gold concessions.
we’ve evolved from a small company into a globally relevant gold/lithium mining business with a reputation of delivering value for all stakeholders. Underpinning it all, is our African story and spirit.
Since day one, our overriding priority has been safety. We dare our people to think differently, we act like owners and we live our values of safety, accountability, excellence and respect. We want people’s time at Evolution to be a highlight of their career, forging a company that’s known for sustainable excellence, and attracting the best talent, not only to Evolution, but also to our industry.
We’ve weathered storms to become a company that prospers through the cycle. We’ve stayed true to our vision and become a global leader in low-cost gold production.
We recognise that along our journey comes change. Embracing technology and innovation are important for our future success, and sustainability is more critical than ever. As we grow, we want to continue to combine ambition and our entrepreneurial mindset with humility. We want our people and our communities to grow as we grow. And we believe that together, we can become the leading global mining company in the world.
