(intensities) and temperatures of the hydrothermal fluids responsible for the deposition of barite and copper deposits. Keywords barite-copper, Gulani, mineralization, Nigeria, Petrography, trace elements. I. Introduction The study area is located within the southern parts of Borno and Yobe states in the north eastern part of Nigeria.The Geological Survey of Nigeria has reported that huge commercial deposits of barite are found in Cross Rivers, Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa States (Dominic et al., 2014). The commercial deposit.Jun 01, 2021 Barite deposits can be found in nine states in Nigeria, viz, Adamawa, Gombe, Zamfara. Plateau, Cross River, Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba and Ebonyi (Adamu et al., 2015 Akpan et al., 2014 Dominic et al., 2014 Edu, 2006 Ekwueme et al., 2012 Labe et al., 2018 Maiha, 1996 Oden, 2012 Ogundipe, 2017). A comprehensive appraisal of barites resources in Nigeria was carried out by the.
The Federal Ministry of Solid Minerals Development (FMSMD 2004) has documented only two States with barite mineralization in Nigeria. Cross River State, this study area, was not listed. Only Plateau State (Azara) and Taraba State (Iba and Dumgel) both in north central Nigeria were listed.Aug 18, 2015 Barite is one of the many solid minerals that are found in commercial quantities in Nigeria. Barite which is simply barium sulphate (BaSO4) occurs in large deposits in the Benue Trough. Over 7.5 million tonnes of barite have been identified in Cross River, Benue, Taraba and Bauchi States of the upper and middle Benue troughs.
From a recent survey and evaluation carried out by the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, four states among others, viz Benue, Cross River, Nasarawa, and Taraba were feasibly considered the workable mining areas. According to the report, the estimated value of barite deposits discovered was about 21,123,913 metric tonnes in total.The Geological and Geoscience data for barite are out of date in Nigeria. This affects the integrity of the resource information and has impacted the bankability of barite mining projects. For instance, significant deposits of barite veins have been identified (but not quantified) in some states in Nigeria and no mining activity is going on.
Barite mineralization in Nigeria was first reported by the Geological survey of Nigeria. No interest was shown then towards its exploration. Detailed exploration work on barite deposit located at Azara District part of Nasarawa State in northcentral Nigeria was carried out by the Nigerian Mining corporation between 1975 and.May 13, 2021 Despite abandoned barite deposit in Nigeria, the country still spends about $29.9 million to import 13,000 tonnes of the mineral resources annually to meet the consumption gap, a document from the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, has shown. Barite is the primary ore of barium, extracted to make a wide variety of barium compounds.
It is estimated that Nigeria has over two million {2,000,000} tons of barite ore deposit of scattered in different parts of the country to include Benue, Nassarrawa, Plateau and Cross River states. This report seeks to examine the financial viability or otherwise of establishing Barite ore mining and milling plant in Nigeria.Mar 04, 2020 The United States does not produce enough barite to supply its domestic needs. In 2011 the United States produced about 700,000 metric tons of barite and imported about 2,300,000 metric tons. Barite in Nigeria. The Nigeria is blessed with abundant mineral.
Barite is one of the many solid minerals that are found in commercial quantities in Nigeria. Barite which is simply barium sulphate (BaSO4) occurs in large deposits in the Benue Trough. Over 7.5 million tonnes of barite have been identified in Cross River, Benue, Taraba and Bauchi States of. .Their dispositional environments. Examples include stratiform deposits found in Gidanwaya deposits, Taraba State, and Alifokpa deposits, Cross River State, Nigeria. Bedded deposits associated with volcanic series are found in Buchan's deposit, Canada, exogenetic deposits A.I. Ebunu et al. Heliyon 7.
Effects of Barite Mining on Water Quality in Azara Awe . Barite was first detected in Azara in the early 1960s Courtesy of the Geological Survey of Nigeria 1965 The Nigeria Barite Mining and Processing Company NBMPC Ltd incorporated in 1988 was charged with the exploration and exploitation of barite in Azara and in any other part of Nigeria where this mineral was found.The barite deposit of Cross River state’s veins occurs in hard and soft rocks, 11 location s are in sedimentary areas and most in the North, while only 2 locations are in the South .
18 08 2015 Barite is one of the many solid minerals that are found in commercial quantities in Nigeria. Barite which is simply barium sulphate (BaSO4) occurs in large deposits in the Benue Trough. Over 7.5 million tonnes of barite have been identified in Cross River, Benue, Taraba and Bauchi States of the upper and middle Benue troughs.Jun 24, 2021 Azara barite deposit is located in Nasarawa state, Nigeria (8′022′0″ N and 9′015′0″ E) (Fig. 1), which has a deposit reserve of 3,243,376 metric tonnes with barite content approximately 83 and has some deposits of barite held by sedimentary rocks such as shale, mudstones siltstones and limestones [17, 28] with specific gravity.
In the area of barite natural mineral resources, Nigeria is one of the African countries that can boast of vast deposits, Cross River State has the highest quality and quantity of barite in Nigeria. In the state, the mineral can be found in commercial quantities in Obubra, Yala, Biase, Ikom, Yakurr and Obanliku LGA, other states include Benue and Plateau.May 30, 2013 About 34 minerals deposits have been identified in Nigeria and one of such is barite ore. . Barytes bearing veins are found mostly in the area geologically . Nasarawa State Azara, Keana, Kuduku, Aloshi all at Keana local . detailed.
“One of the complaints is on the quality of barite because the quality of barite is measured in terms of specific gravity. “The American Petroleum Institute standard (API) is minimum of 4.1 but luckily in Nigeria, we have Barite even occurring at 4.5, 4.3, 4.8, especially the deposits found in Cross River State. “So, we have the quality.Coal mining processing plant in Nigeria. This coal mining project is an open pit mine located in Nigeria, announced by mining company - Western Goldfields - that it has discovered 62,400,000 tonnes of proven reserves of coal deposits worth US$1.2 billion which could be used for the generation of electric power.
