Gold, lead and death in Nigeria

 — In Nigeria, even though mercury remains a significant longer-term threat to the environment and to human health, the unprecedented acute health effects to date have come from lead. To retrieve the lead-rich gold ore, workers in Nigeria are lowered on ropes into holes about 45 meters deep where they mine the ore using rock hammers.

Integrated geophysical investigation for lead and zinc …

 — 1. Introduction. Globally, over 50 per cent of lead-zinc mineralisation and occurrences are hosted by sedimentary deposits in veins and veinlets created by effects such as shale tectonism (Tikkanen, 1986; Adejuwon et al., 2021), steeply dipping cracks, and sheeted zones in sediments intruded by sills, as well as in stratiform or stratabound …

Origin of lead-zinc mineralization in the southern Benue …

The epigenetic Pb-Zn deposits of the southern Benue Valley (Nigeria) are localized within Cretaceous sediments of an intracontinental rift basin. Fluid inclusion studies of vein minerals from the Abakaliki and Ishiagu orebodies show that sphalerite and quartz were deposited at relatively low temperatures (102–175 °C), with ore-fluid salinity mostly in …

A preliminary description of the Nigerian lead-zinc field

The lead-zinc deposits of Nigeria occur, with few exceptions, in the main belt of lower Cretaceous formations in the Benue and Niger river region. They constitute mineralized fracture fillings in folded and faulted Aptian to Turonian strata, are closely associated with and probably genetically related to dioritic intrusions emplaced prior to ...
