National Steel Raw Materials Exploration Agency (NSRMEA) is a geo-scientific information centre for investors and researchers in the solid minerals sector that delivers results and solutions through the collective efforts of well trained, dedicated and motivated workforce that is technologically driven and focused.

NSRMEA came into existence as the Exploration and Mining Division of the defunct Nigerian Steel Development Authority (NSDA), which was established by Decree 19 of 1971. It later became a corporate body through the enactment of decree 49 of 1992, with mandate amongst others to carry out the exploration of steel raw materials in all parts of Nigeria and elsewhere for the iron and steel industry, and to establish and execute a steel raw materials base for the country.
