Ore estimation result obtained from thirteen drill hole data indicates 38,313,595 tonnes of iron ore and density of 3.65 tonnes/m3. The average grade and total volume of the ore body is 36.36 % ...

Annual production is estimated as 150 tons. DISCUSSION Comparative analysis of the distribution of ore deposits and mineral production in Africa shows that about 65% of the continent's mineral wealth is located in Southern Africa, 20% in Central Africa, 10% in Western Africa and 5% in North Africa.

The formation of lead-zinc ore deposits in Nigeria is attributed to hydrothermal processes. These involve the circulation of hot fluids through the rocks, carrying dissolved metals. When the fluids encounter suitable host rocks, they precipitate and deposit lead and zinc minerals, resulting in ore formation.

The national iron ore company was founded in 1979. 3billion tonnes of Iron ore is said to be available in Nigeria, iron ore is present in different states in Nigeria, like the FCT Abuja, Enugu, Kogi, and the Niger state. ... Talc deposits in Nigeria are estimated to be about 4 billion tonnes. Many of us must have heard about the Bentonite and ...

About one billion tonnes of gypsum deposits are spread over many states in Nigeria. Iron Ore There are over 3 billion metric tonnes of iron ore in deposits found in Kogi, Enugu and Niger States as well as the Federal Capital Territory. Iron Ore is being mined at Itakpe in Kogi State and is already being beneficiated, up to 67 per cent of iron.

The processes of ore formation in Nigeria vary from metamorphism and metasomatism to sedimentation. Base metals (Lead and Zinc) and some uranium deposits accumulate in Nigerian sedimentary basins. Presented in this article is a table listing all ore deposits, their types, mode of occurrence, and locations in Nigeria.

We show here that the temporal (age-frequency) distribution of ore deposits is controlled largely by exhumation, the combination of burial, uplift, and erosion that exposes subsurface rocks and ore deposits. Exhumation rates calculated from modal ages and emplacement depths for epithermal, porphyry copper, and orogenic gold …
