The aggregate production of mineral products in Nigeria in 2021 grew by 39.19% from 64.29 million tons recorded in 2020 to 89.48 million tons in 2021, indicating This study presents the field, petrography and geochemical data of the late Neoproterozoic pegmatites and host rocks in northcentral basement complex of Nigeria. Wamba pegmatites are emplaced within the reworked belt of the Nigerian basement complex. The pegmatites are composed of complex partly zoned (rare-metal pegmatites) Petrology and geochemistry of pegmatites and associated

Natural resources and solid minerals in Nigeria
Some of the major minerals include: 1. Coal. Nigeria has a significant amount of coal reserves, with estimates of around 2 billion metric tons. Most of the coal deposits are located in the northern and eastern Nigeria Lead–Zinc deposits hosted by the cretaceous rock was worked by Farrington (1952) and he discovered barite as one of the associated minerals. In 1987 the Nigeria Mining Corporation, now defunct, investigated five veins out of the eighteen veins in Azara field, Nasarawa State and reported a reserve of 730,000 tonnes of barite.Barite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria: occurrence,

The Younger Granites SpringerLink
The Younger Granites. The Mesozoic Younger Granite ring complexes of Nigeria (Fig. 2.1) form part of a wider province of alkaline anorogenic magmatism. They occur in a zone 200 km wide and 1,600 km long extending from northern Niger to south central Nigeria. Rb/Sr whole rock dating indicates that the oldest complex of Adrar Bous These minerals include gold, coal, bitumen, talc, gypsum, iron ore, rock salt, kaolin, gemstone (NHC Citation 2020), limestone, tin ore, columbite and zinc/lead sulphates (Alison-Madueke Citation 2009) and a host of others (see Figure 4).

The overall distribution of the economic minerals based on the mineral resources map of Nigeria with structural lineaments mapping within the study area is presented in Figure 18. This further suggests that the manganese minerals within the study area occur as structurally controlled emplacements within the iron oxides and areas with 1. Introduction. A mineral can be defined as a naturally occurring element or chemical compound, crystalline in nature, formed as a result of geological processes (Nickel, 1995).They occur as aggregates, commonly referred to as rocks (Oshin, 2003).Minerals can be classified into the following groups based on their composition and uses: metallic The environmental implications of the exploration and
