Dorogis Limited is redefining mining with tech, ethics, and sustainability, making Africa’s minerals reliable globally.
Africa’s mineral wealth has long been an underutilized resource in the global supply chain. Yet, as the world moves towards electrification and sustainable energy solutions, the demand for critical minerals is at an all-time high. Leading the charge to unlock Africa’s potential is Dorogis Limited, a forward-thinking mining company dedicated to transforming how Africa’s minerals are discovered, developed, and delivered to global markets.
With its roots deeply planted in Nigeria, and a growing presence in Canada, Dorogis is pioneering a new era of responsible mining. The company combines cutting-edge MineralTech technology with rigorous ESG standards, aiming to redefine the mining industry and meet the world’s demand for transparent, traceable, and sustainable mineral supply chains.
At the heart of Dorogis’ vision is Tolulope Fatunbi, the company’s founder and CEO, whose dedication to innovation, integrity, and sustainable practices has propelled Dorogis to become a trusted partner for global manufacturers. “Our mission is clear,” says Fatunbi. “We want to transform Africa’s mineral resources into a driving force for the global economy, while ensuring our operations are responsible, transparent, and ethically sound.”
A Technological Leap: Dorogis’ Innovative Approach to Mining
While many companies rely on traditional mining methods, Dorogis has redefined what it means to explore and develop minerals. As a MineralTech company, Dorogis merges the age-old art of geological exploration with the power of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and drone technology to make mining faster, safer, and more efficient.
Through drone-enabled aeromagnetic surveys, satellite data analytics, and AI-assisted modeling, Dorogis can accelerate the discovery process, minimize risks, and lower costs, dramatically improving the chances of finding commercially viable deposits. These advanced techniques are not only faster but also more accurate, allowing Dorogis to pinpoint mineral-rich areas with incredible precision, reducing exploration timelines from years to just months.
“We aim to eliminate the uncertainty that often comes with mining,” explains Fatunbi. “By combining cutting-edge technology with our deep knowledge of geology, we can ensure that our exploration process is more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective.”
A Portfolio Built for the Future: Minerals for the Energy Transition
Dorogis’ mineral portfolio is aligned with the world’s energy transition, focusing on minerals that power the technologies of tomorrow, such as electric vehicles, solar power, and advanced electronics. Its focus on lithium, tantalum, rare-earth elements (REE), and high-purity quartz (HPQ) positions the company as a key player in sectors that are expected to experience rapid growth in the coming decades.
- Battery & Semiconductor Inputs: Lithium (spodumene, lepidolite), tantalum, niobium, beryllium, and high-purity quartz (HPQ)
- Rare-Earth Elements: Monazite, zircon, hafnium-bearing zircon, and other REE phases
- Industrial Minerals: Fluorite, rutile, tin, and marble, critical for construction, electronics, and other industrial uses
The Nigerian states of Plateau, Nasarawa, and Kaduna are home to some of the richest deposits of these minerals, and Dorogis is at the forefront of extracting and processing them for international markets. This strategically targeted portfolio ensures that Dorogis is not only meeting current demand but also positioning itself for future success as the global economy continues to transition to cleaner energy solutions.
A Sustainable and Transparent Supply Chain: The Dorogis Difference
One of the core values at Dorogis is transparency, something that is often lacking in the traditional mining industry. From the outset, Dorogis has prioritized traceability and auditing, ensuring that every step of the supply chain, from discovery to delivery, is documented and accessible to clients. This level of transparency is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers and investors who want to know that the materials they source are ethically produced and meet the highest environmental standards.
“We are building a supply chain that is fully traceable, allowing our clients to track minerals from the point of extraction all the way to their final shipment,” says Fatunbi. “This level of transparency is critical in today’s market, where companies are expected to meet stringent ethical and environmental standards.”
Dorogis uses blockchain technology and other tracking systems to embed data into every aspect of its operation, ensuring that its products are ethically sourced and fully compliant with both local and international regulations.
Ethical Practices: A Commitment to People and the Planet
At Dorogis, sustainability goes beyond the minerals it extracts, it’s embedded in every aspect of the company’s operations. The company adheres to high ESG standards, engaging with local communities, creating employment opportunities, and implementing environmental protection strategies. Dorogis works hand-in-hand with Nigerian regulators to ensure compliance with local laws while aligning with international standards to meet the expectations of global buyers.
“We work closely with the communities where we operate, ensuring that our projects benefit everyone,” says Fatunbi. “From local employment to community infrastructure, we make sure our presence leaves a positive impact.”
Dorogis also integrates water stewardship, progressive rehabilitation, and waste reduction practices into its mining processes, aiming to minimize environmental impact while ensuring that the land can be safely returned to its natural state after mining activities are completed.
Scaling with a Vision for the Future
As Dorogis moves forward, it is focused on scaling its operations in a way that is responsible, sustainable, and profitable. The company plans to expand its beneficiation capabilities, creating value-added products from the minerals it extracts. This strategy will not only increase the company’s revenue potential but also create local jobs and contribute to the development of the Nigerian economy.
Dorogis is also exploring new offtake partnerships with international manufacturers, particularly those in North America, Europe, and Asia, who are looking for reliable and traceable mineral sources. By forging strong relationships with these buyers, Dorogis is positioning itself as a key player in the global mineral supply chain.
Why Dorogis Matters Now
In a rapidly changing world, the demand for critical minerals has never been higher. Dorogis is leading the charge in Africa, using technology and transparency to reshape how minerals are extracted, processed, and delivered to the world. With its commitment to ethical practices, sustainability, and innovation, Dorogis is not just meeting the demands of today’s market but is paving the way for a cleaner, greener, and more ethical mining industry.
