This paper aimed at assessing the impact of baryte mining on land pollution in Azara, Nigeria. Two barytes mining sites were selected; Vein 2 and Vein 17. Measurements and observations were carried out to indentify the impact of baryte on land pollution in the area. The findings revealed that areas of about 77226m 2 and 132096m 2 were devastated in Vein 2 and Vein 17 …
Lessel-Mbagwa, Bunde and Mbatoo are the focal points of baryte mining in Lessel area. These areas are characterized by some degree of fracturing/faulting. The presence of …
exploration activities revealed additional areas with favourable geological setting for baryte mineralization namely: Liji Hill, Gombe Town, Ganye, Suwa and Sabin areas northeast Nigeria in addition to Dareta, Tofa Forest Reserve, Rebeku and Yarkatsina areas in northwestern Nigeria. In Nigeria, baryte occurs within the Precambrian
The Benue Trough of Nigeria is a sedimentary basin that extends from the Gulf of Guinea in the southwest to the Chad Basin in the northwest for about 800 km in length and 150 km in width. Lead-zinc-barytes occurs in almost the entire length of the Benue Trough. Lead-zinc-barytes mineralization in the Trough is believed to be hydrothermal in origin and is associated with …
Nigerian Mining Corporation BACKGROUND. The NMC is a Federal Government Public Statutory Corporation established by Decree number 39, as contained in Gazette No 54, Vol. 59 of 1972, and amended by Decree …
Baryte mineralization in Nigeria is known to occur as disseminated nodules of swarms of veins (fracture in filling) that extended to deeper parts of the Precambrian …
of mineral resources in the country. The mining sector in Nigeria is only contributing about 0.5%–0.6% to the country's GDP (Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, 2016) because of her dependence on oil re-sources. The mining industry in Nigeria is underdeveloped, resulting in the importation of minerals that could be produced domestically ...

According to the report, four states among others, viz: Benue, Cross River, Nasarawa, and Taraba were feasibly considered the workable mining areas. The estimated value of barite deposits discovered was about 21,123,913 metric tonnes in total. In 2010, Nigeria exported natural barium sulphate (barytes) in commercial quantities to Equatorial Guinea.
In Nigeria, occurrence of baryte deposits have been reported in several locations within the NE-SW trending Cretaceous Benue Trough (Akande and Abimbola, 1987, Akande et al., 1989, Oden, 2012, El-Nafaty, 2015) (Fig. 1).The distribution and structural control of the deposits like the PbS-ZnS-flourite mineralization have been attributed to the opening/rifting of …
Veins exposed do not persist over long distances in the area and width of 3 meters and above are common. The inferred resource of barytes for the state is 307,657 metric tonnes based on an average specific gravity of 4.0 and depth …
Lead-zinc-barytes occurs in almost the entire length of the Benue Trough. Lead-zinc-barytes mineralization in the Trough is believed to be hydrothermal in origin and is associated with brine springs. Fracturing and jointing are intense in the areas of mineralization. Leadzinc minerals in the form of their ores… Expand
Policy of Nigeria on Solid Minerals is to ensure the orderly development of the mineral resources of the country. In Nigeria, mining contributes only between 0.5%-0.6% to the country's GDP (Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, 2016) because the focus is on oil resources. The underdevelopment of the mining industry means Nigeria imports

Nigeria Lead–Zinc deposits hosted by the cretaceous rock was worked by Farrington (1952) and he discovered barite as one of the associated minerals. In 1987 the Nigeria Mining Corporation, now defunct, investigated five veins out of the eighteen veins in Azara field, Nasarawa State and reported a reserve of 730,000 tonnes of barite.
