Tourmaline Deposits In Nigerian States And Its Various uses Tourmalines can be found in many countries of the world, but some of the countries with vast deposits include Brazil, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa such as Tanzania, Nigeria, Madagascar, Kenya, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, etc Tourmaline with other gemstones in Nigeria can yield the country billions of minerals is very low in relation to the extent of deposits found in the country Recent policy reforms have brought the solid minerals sector to the fore The emphasis is on encouraging massive foreign investor’s participation in the sector There are tremendous opportunities for investment in the solid mineral sector in NigeriaNigeria’s Solid minerals Sector the Lawyer Network The vastness of Nigeria's minerals resources cannot and should not be over emphasised We began to explore and exploit her natural mineral resources in 1902 and in its prime, the solid minerals sector was one of the largest producers of tin and coal, as well as Nigeria's Solid Minerals As A Source Of Economic
Preliminary appraisal of chemical and geotechnical properties of clay deposits in Doma area, Middle Benue Trough, Nigeria January 2011 International Journal of Chemical Sciences 4(1):187195Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Engineering and Intelligent Systems SEIS 2010 2010, July 5th9th, Ota, Nigeria Vol 1 Application of Geographic Information System for Mineral Exploration in Nigeria Irmiya S Amoka and Shadrach B Jatau Mineral Resources Engineering Department, Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna, Nigeria, amokais@gmail AbstractApplication of Geographic Information System for genesis of these deposits is therefore the basic fulcrum for evaluation of these mineral endowments The recent resurgence of interest in the solid minerals sector of the Nigerian economy is a major impetus for research into the nation’s economic mineral endowment in CURRENT RESEARCH University of Ibadan
The mining and solid mineral sector of the extractive industry in Nigeria has always been a viable greenfield and is now getting the attention it deserves, having been earmarked as a key source of economic development and diversification of the revenue streams of the country The major health hazard caused by mining in Akwuke (55% of respondents) and Iva (65% of respondents) was any work carried out on environmental impact of mineral exploitation at a coal mined site in southeastern Nigeria This study, therefore, is aimed to investigate the impact of deposits of subbituminous coal, estimated at 15 Environmental impact assessment of coal mining at geochemical xray fluorescence for (trace and major elements analysis), and thin section petrography The result of the geochemical analysis revealed the presence of some major elements (SiO 2,Al2O3,Fe 2O3,CaO,Br,and TiO 2) and trace elements (V 2O5,SO 3,P 2O5,CuO,MnO,Rb 2O, and AS 2O3) respectively The mineral compositions obtained from thePETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMICAL APPRAISAL OF
