- Application of Legrand pollution correlation in the evaluation of
contaminants migration within the groundwater of Ebhoakhuala in Ekpoma and
Agbede, Edo State, Nigeria
Abstract: The increase in population has led to indiscriminate disposal and mismanagement of waste in the society, resulting to waterborne diseases. As a result, this study was done to determine the efficacy and the efficiency of LeGrand correlation chart in the evaluation of the potential of groundwater of an area to pollution. Ebohkhuala and Agbede were used as a case study. Electrical resistivity t...

- Use of computer softwares and geomatic techniques for reclamation study of
environmentally degraded mined lands in Benin City, Nigeria
Abstract: Land degradation in the form of creation of massive pits, and deforestation of land are some adverse impacts associated with open pit mining activities. Benin City and its environs have witnessed a high proliferation of open pit sand and/ laterite mining activities popularly called borrow pits in recent times, with its associated environmental risk. This research is carried on five selected ...

- A Review of Agrogeological resources of Nigeria
Abstract: The distribution and utilization of agrogeological resources in Nigeria are discussed. These are rocks and minerals applied in agriculture. They occur in a wide variety of environments that range in age from Pre-Cambrian to Recent. The resources may be utilized to solve problems of pH, texture and structure of rocks. Limestone, dolomite and any base-rich materials like carbonatites, as well ...

- Estimation of gold mineralization using remote sensing techniques based on
index calculation: Case of Betsiriry region, western Madagascar
Abstract: It is undoubtedly true that the development of a country depends on the exploitation of these resources. In the case of Madagascars Island, it is home to countless natural biological and mineral resources. Yet the island is underexplored, with most of the countrys geological data dating from the 1950s. The use of modern technologies in mineral exploration and research facilitates and gives u...

- Determining the optimum compressive strength of cemented paste backfill
for artificial ground support in underground mines
Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the optimum strength of cemented paste backfill for production of an economic backfill in an underground mine. Tailings samples from a copper mine, Namibia were collected and classified into three particle size range of +75, +150 and +300 m for preparation of cemented-tailings paste. Tailings compaction was also carried out for a penetrometer (CBR) tes...

- Preliminary investigation on the quality of amasiri sandstone
(Southeastern Nigeria) as construction material
Abstract: The need to source for local construction materials that are appropriate for the massive developmental projects in Ebonyi State, southeastern Nigeria, has necessitated sampling and testing of the Maastrichtian Amasiri Sandstone in the Akpoha area of the state. Petrographic analysis and aggregate tests were conducted on six samples randomly selected from the rock deposit underlying the area. ...

- Lithological features and chemical characterization of metamorphosed
carbonate rocks in Igue, Southwestern Nigeria
Abstract: This paper investigates and reports the lithological and compositional features of Igue marble deposit in southwestern Nigeria. The deposit occurs as low-lying heterogeneous units under a humus-laden dark brown tropical soil within Igarra Schist Belt on south eastern flank of basement complex of southwestern Nigeria. The marble deposit occurs as lenses sandwiched between quartz-biotite schis...

- Geochemistry of termite mounds in the sediment-hosted Lead-Zinc Mining
District of Yolo, Gongola Sub-basin: A guide for lead-zinc exploration in
the Upper Benue Trough, Nigeria
Abstract: Yolo lead-zinc mining district is an important area in Gongola Sub-basin of the Upper Benue Trough with paucity of rocks outcrops but abundant termite mounds. The termite mounds and their adjoining surface soils were analyzed for Pb, Zn, Ti, Cu, Sb, As, U, Cr, Zr and Li in an attempt to test their effectiveness in defining favorable areas for lead-Zinc mineralization in the Upper Benue Troug...

- Numerical and laboratory investigation of effect of soil reinforcement on
settlement of strip foundations
Abstract: Reinforcement of loose soils with geosynthetics in order to achieve a strengthened soil-reinforcement system, with enhanced tensile strength and reduced settlement is an important subject in the field of geotechnical engineering. In this study, a soil reinforcement system was used to increase the bearing capacity of sandy soil beneath a strip foundation. A small-scale laboratory model was bu...

- LA-ICP-MS and EMP relationships in pyrite grains from Barberton Greenstone
Belt, South Africa: An attempt for quantification
Abstract: Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) count per seconds (cps) results were tested for quantification, using the same spot analyses of Electron Microprobe Analyses (EMP) in weight percentage (wt. %); they were obtained from selected pyrite grains from Sheba, New Consort, and Fairview gold mines of the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB). Theoretically, data obtai...
