This study hopes to enable Nigeria to put in place and enforce certain minimum environmental standards for solid mineral exploration and exploitation. In …

4.0 Environmental Impacts of Solid Mineral Resources Development. The environmental hazards associated with mining, processing and development of minerals resources have long been studied by many scholars, such as Obioha and Nwachukwu (2007), Azubuike (2011), Okeke (2013), Nnabuihe et al. (2016), and many others.

Abstract. The range of electrical experiments which have been carried out at sea in order to learn about the resistivity (or conductivity) structure of the seabed is reviewed. Some of these experiments were directly related to mineral exploration. Others could be modified to make them more suitable for mineral exploration and appraisal.

Geochemical methods involve analyzing the chemical composition of rocks, soils, water, or vegetation to identify anomalies or patterns that indicate the presence of mineral deposits.

Iron ore deposits found in abundance in Nigeria, West Africa with up to 3 billion tonnes are in Nigerian states like Kaduna, Enugu, Kogi, Niger, Kwara, Bauchi, and Zamfara. Iron ore is an essential rock mineral, which formation came as a result of combined chemical reactions of oxygen and iron in marine and freshwaters.

None of these studies discussed the mineral potential of the Bida Basin in details. This is because the data were scanty and did not include detailed geophysical interpretations and there was no detailed ground survey such as IP to map the mineral deposits and delineate the configuration of the basin [6, 8]. Also, the study area lacked …
