The study of effect of dust emission from exploitation and processing of limestone in some parts of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State Nigeria, covering latitude 7008' and 7031'N and longitude 8037' and 9010'E was carried out.
Despite abundant solid mineral resources, which include gold, lead, zinc, coal, bitumen, iron ore, limestone and barite, the Nigeria mining industry only contributes 0.15 percent to the nation's GDP. The contribution, projected to hit 0.34 percent in 2025, is far from the three percent target set out in the country's mining roadmap 1. The Federal …
The paper concludes that faithful implementation of these policy measures is key to achieving success in addressing the socioeconomic and community issues in Mining in Nigeria.
Sedimentary limestone deposits can be extensive, covering hundreds of square miles, and can be relatively uniform in thickness and quality. There-fore, limestone quarries can be large and long lived, mining limestone layers that can be hundreds of feet thick over areas of several square miles.
The objective of this paper therefore is to examine the relevance of EIA on mining environments in Nigeria. It discusses the meaning and purpose of EIA, its historical background and regulatory framework and highlights the EIA process as well as some of the environmental consequences of mining.
This research was conducted to assess effect of artisanal limestone exploitation and processing operations at Igarra, Akoko Edo, Edo State. Water and the soil degradation resulting from limestone ...
Limestone is a sedimentary rock co mposed primarily of. calcium carbonate with the o ccasional presence of magnesium. Most limestone is biochemical in origin meaning the calcium. carbonate in the ...
Nigeria's mining sector is still very underdeveloped. This is despite the country being rich in mineral resources. Nigeria's mineral resources cut across several groups, including industrial minerals such as kaolin and limestone; energy resources like coal and uranium; metallic ore minerals like gold, cassiterite, and iron; construction minerals like granite; …

This paper notes that mining effects are destroying environment and threating workers health in Nigeria. Deforestation, soil erosion, water and air pollution play significant roles in the threat to the health of workers and communities in close proximity to mines.
Limestone mining and cement production at Yandev, Nigeria commenced in 1980 without an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to ascertain the extent of impact these activities could bring to bear ...
Nigeria is a country rich in natural resources; oil and gas, coal, limestone, ore and other agricultural resources which serve as innovative starting materials for various industries and the ...
Artisanal mining of solid minerals like cassiterite started 1905–1972 rating Nigeria as the 6th producer of tin in the world while mining of columbite started from 1933–1945 rating Nigeria as the world exporter of columbite (Mallo, 2017.
He has written a critical 30-page document detailing the expected impact a limestone quarry would have on the region based on published research on problems arising from limestone surface mining.
T v HE mining of tin has been largely responsible for profound changes in the landscape and in the social and economic structure of the Jos Plateau over the last 50 years. At the beginning of the present century, the plateau was one of the most backward parts of Nigeria; today it is one of the most developed, with roads, railways, towns, dams, and …
Abstract. The exploration of limestone is the nerve of socio-economic integration of the Igarra community. However, the exploration activities have been linked with several adverse effects on human health and the deterioration of the surrounding environment. This research work investigates the quality of air in the study area.

These data agree with reports from other African countries, but lower than reports from China and India. NORMs may be of public health concerns notwithstanding the lean data from clinical and epidemiological studies in Nigeria. This study recommends a One Health approach on the radiological implications of mining sites in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: Nigeria as a nation is blessed with relevant resources of solid mineral that have the capacity to lure investors and business investments to enhance growth economically in the nation. These resources go from Copper, Columbite, Iron, Tin, Gold, Diamond, and so on.Unfortunately, this resource gifts is being underplayed by …
Nigeria's abundant solid minerals constitute some of the largest known deposits in recent years under different categories made up of precious metals, stones and industrial minerals like coal, tin, gold, marble, limestone and others [1-4]. The core of these mineral deposits scattered across the country remains a major attraction for informal and …
