FIELD GEOLOGY AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF A MINERALIZED BARYTE VEIN IN TOLA, MAYOBELWA AREA, NORTHEASTERN NIGERIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Investigations were undertaken for baryte mineralization in the Tola area of Northeastern
Nigeria. The area is underlain by granite gneisses, porphyritic granites and alluvial deposits
with granites and its porphyritic variants being the most dominant rock type. The
mineralization is known to occur as fracture in filling in granitic and gneissic rocks of the
Precambrian basement. Preliminary assessments of rock cuts from the vein showed the baryte
to be of quality high enough to warrant further studies.
