COMPOSITIONAL FEATURES AND ECONOMIC POTENTIALS OF BARYTES OCCURRENCES AROUND ALIFORKPA - GABU - OSINA AND ENVIRONS, LOWER BENUE TROUGH OF NIGERIA
This work discusses the compositional features and economic potentials of the barites from Alifokpa-Gabu-Osina and environs in the Lower Benue Trough of Nigeria, with a focus to unravelling the economic potentials of the deposit. Results of the geochemical analysis show that BaSiO4, SiO2, and TiO2 are the major chemica…
