Risk assessments should include site-specific information, such as the terrain, potential receptors, proximity of USDWs (Underground Sources of Drinking Water), faults, and the potential for unidentified borehole locations within the project's footprint. (i) Risk assessments should include non-spatial elements or non-geologic factors (such as ...
It has been discovered that Nigeria is endowed with a lot of mineral resources widely distributed in virtually all the states in the country. In Osun State almost all the local governments has more than one mineral resource that can be obtained from them. Despite the occurrence of mineral resources in the state, not all are of economic quantity and …

Assessment of Undiscovered Mineral Resources. Mineral resource assessments are a tool used for determining the potential for undiscovered domestic and global deposits of minerals such as copper. Land management agencies, industry and the public use this unbiased mineral resource information to help determine future resource …
Assess the minerals that are of economic quantity which the state government and private investors can invest into. iii. Show the minimum reserve available of minerals that is of economic quantity in Osun State. Research Questions The study profers solutions to the following research questions; i. What mineral potentials can be found in the state?
Industrial waste heat (IWH) is a key strategy to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions in the industry. But its potential for different countries remains unclear due to a non-existent or inconsistent data basis. The objective of this paper is to assess the IWH potential of the European non-metallic mineral industry, using …
This paper studies geochemical quantitative prediction for Pb–Zn metallic mineral deposits by identifying inconspicuous surface geochemical anomalies mainly …
The summaries in these volumes, which have been organized alphabetically by state, include a description of the character and geologic setting, a discussion of the resource potential, and a reference list of selected material published as part of the wilderness program. Many of the summaries include suggestions for further study. Our hope is that …
Three research fields of mineral resource assessment are reviewed, namely nonlinear mineralization prediction theory, machine learning-based mineral …

The subhumid and subarid terrains of Kaduna State are areas of acute water scarcity which require urgent intervention. This study combined geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) techniques for delineating groundwater potential zones across the state to establish an alternative water source for domestic and …
Following the theoretical approach of these assessments, the methodology is used for the evaluation of two actual case studies; the Bokan Dotson Mountain REE project in Alaska, U.S.A. and the ...
In Osun State the mineral resources potentials found are Gold, Talc, Feldspars, Cassiterite, Columbite, Granite, Mica, Iron ore, Kaolin, Tourmaline, Aquamarine e.t.c. ... (CRR1m, ERR2m) under the project's current state of assessment. The DCF analysis yields positive NPVs in ERR2 regardless of the price forecast. The NPV in CRR1 …
Five different interatomic potentials designed for modelling forsterite Mg $$_2$$ 2 SiO $$_4$$ 4 are compared to ab initio and experimental data. The set of tested properties include lattice constants, material density, elastic wave velocity, elastic stiffness tensor, free surface energies, generalized stacking faults, neutral Frenkel and Schottky …
Abstract. Traditional mineral resource availability assessment methods always have strong assumptions and limitations on application. Both the physical …
The mineral potentials of Katsina State are enormous, the national demand for industrial minerals and associated products, as industrial input is very high. The part which the development of solid minerals can play in accelerating economic, political and social growth within a state or indeed a nation is immense, self

Electrolytes are essential for basic life functioning, such as maintaining electrical neutrality in cells and generating and conducting action potentials in the nerves and muscles. Significant electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonates. Electrolytes come from our food and fluids.
low as 3% to the country's GDP as against oil export which forms more than 95% of Nigeria's foreign exchange earnings (Lar, 2018). Conversely, mineral resource exploration and development (exploitation) constitute an important part of Nigeria's economy and continues to be essential for future economic evolution. Despite the

O (mineral oxide) in clay sample determines its uses in bricks, floors tiles and paper making (Kefas et al, 2007). While the presence of Na 2 O, K 2 O and CaO (Alkali metal oxides) help to indicate refractory potential hence making clays suitable for ceramic products.
Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and subsequent related legislation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas, and of other national forest lands being considered for wilderness designation.

places, the size of Nigeria's mineral resources cannot be overemphasized. In 1902, Nigeria began exploring and exploiting its natural resources, and at its height, the country's solid minerals industry was one of the world's top producers of tin, coal, and a significant 1.4 tons of gold each year. As previously said, the nation is
