Barite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria: occurrence,
Artisanal mining. Barite mining in Nigeria is mostly carried out by artisanal miners and this affects the production output, exposure to uncontrolled risk, erosion, pollution and environmental degradation. There are many illegal barite miners in the barite rich states in Nigeria and as a result of this, barite mining is done informally atBarite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. However, there is insufficient literature on the downside of mining and associated hazards, especially in the artisanal barite mining sector. This paper contains three parts. The initial section reviews major causes of mining accidents and health hazards in Nigeria. The second Safe Mining Assessment of Artisanal Barite Mining Activities in Nigeria

Risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in stream
This study assessed the contamination of streams with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sediments around mining, quarrying, and cultivation areas in Akamkpa and environs Southeastern Nigeria. Analysis done using ICP MS technique shows that barium (Ba) and lead (Pb) recorded mean concentrations above their average shale The solid minerals and mining sector contributed a paltry 0.5% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018, with annual production averaging 40 million metric tons valued at about 34 billion naira(PDF) Solid Mineral Deposits and Mining in Nigeria: -A

Mining reforms in Nigeria to drive sector growth
Under the National Development Plan 2021-25, the federal government aims to increase the GDP contribution of non-oil mining activity from 0.4% in 2020 to 3% by 2025. While this is an ambitious target, Nigeria has vast mineral resources distributed throughout the country, many of which are still untapped.barite mining in Nigeria due to Federal Government’s policy of using local raw materials. This resulted in many legal and illegal mining of barite, a major component used in the oil and gas indus-try in Nigeria.

Over 90% of barite mining activities in Nigeria are carried out by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs), and up to 75% of these miners operate informally, without mining license and rights. Such mining activities endanger human lives through the uncontrolled release of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants which are major causes In 2018, global mine production was about 9.18 million tpa while in 2019 there was an estimated value of about 9.5 million tpa. China alone accounts for 40% of barite production globally while Russia, India, Morocco, USA, Turkey, Mexico, Iran, Kazakhstan and Thailand account for around 50%.Barite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria: occurrence,

Characterization and Suitability of Nigerian Barites for
The status of barite mining activities in Nigeria currently shows that the barite quality from these different localities proves that Nigeria does not necessarily need to import high grade or any other specification of barite from foreign countries for its usage in the desired industries . However, a large percentage of the barite used in theMonitoring and assessment of soil quality are important in mining areas. In this study, indexical, spatiotemporal, and chemometric models were developed to monitor and assess the pollution level and health risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) within the Iyamitet-Okurumutet mine province, SE Nigeria.

An in-depth look at the current state of mining in Nigeria
In 2017, the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) reported that three of the 26 minerals exported accounted for 73.81% of total exports. The commodities are zinc ores and concentrate, lead ores and concentrate, and silica sands and quartz. Barite is a mineral that occurs extensively in Nigeria.Over 90% of barite mining activities in Nigeria are carried out by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs), and up to 75% of these miners operate informally, without mining license and rights.
