Quartzite solid mineral deposits in Nigeria, West Africa can be found in Ekiti, Taraba, Kogi, Kwara, and Oyo states.
Three gully systems on prominent quartzite ridges of Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria were examined: Mokola, Mapo, and Eleyele quartzite ridges. Slope angles of gullied areas were recorded along with observations on slope convexity/concavity and vegetation cover. Gully morphological characteristics of length, width, depth and depth of gully head ...
The amphibolites in Wonu-Apomu are associated with quartzite, quartz schist, talc-schist, granite and pegmatites, while those of Ife-Ilesha area are associated with anthophyllite schist, talc ...
Although many people often confuse granite with quartzite, on the contrary, quartzite, like marble, is a metamorphic rock, rather than igneous rock like granite. Extremely hard and compact, of a finer grain than granite, exotically veined and colored like marble, quartzite is the most versatile stone amongst all of the natural stones.
The geology of the Olode area, south-western Nigeria was investigated petrographically and geochemically in order to elucidate the mineralisation potential of the rock units in the area.
The Nigerian regional fault systems trend-ing NE-SW include the Anka-Zuru and Kalangai-Zungeru-Ifewara faults which traverse the entire western half of Nigeria, evident within the Neoproterozoic ...

The study area is part of the Okemesi fold belt, which is also part of the basement complex rocks of Nigeria, is characterized by highly fractured quartzite, quartz schist, mica schist, mylonite and a thin sedimentary cover. The quartzite is massive, milky and has varying textures from equigranular to medium grain.
Figure 5. Digital elevation model of the study area 3.1 Quartzite The normal quartzite is fine grained and has quartz as its main constituent mineral. The cataclastic quartzite is mainly fine to medium grained rock, containing quartz and muscovite. Quartzite is the predominant rock that occur in the form of massive ridges within the study area.
