Terra Industries said on 14 September it had won a $1 million phase-one contract from Anka Metals to provide security services for the Jema’a Resource Project in Kaduna State. Terra described the award as the first contract under a broader partnership covering security across Anka’s mining portfolio.

The company will provide autonomous surveillance and site protection. Its release says the Jema’a project at Gidan Waya covers a polymetallic deposit containing gold, lithium, copper and nickel. The contract concerns security services; it does not indicate that the mine has started production.
