There are many illegal barite miners in the barite rich states in Nigeria and as a result of this, barite mining is done informally at production levels that may be as high as eighty per cent. The government needs to ensure that the legal framework under the Mining Hazards in Nigeria.

An in-depth analysis on mining in Nigeria. By Guest Contributor. October 27, 2020. The economy in Nigeria has been growing slowly since the oil price slump of 2014. Since then, volatility of global oil Artisanal mining. Barite mining in Nigeria is mostly carried out by artisanal miners and this affects the production output, exposure to uncontrolled risk, erosion, pollution and environmental degradation.

There are low-, medium- and high-quality barite in Nigeria as shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1 (Essalhi et al. 2018; Oden 2012). The mining of barite between 0 and 5 m depth gave rise to low-quality barite due to the presence of associated impurities and low-pressurized hydrothermal fluids that are deficient of BaSO 4.This work may be sufficient if barite mining in Nigeria.

Such mining activities endanger human lives through the uncontrolled release of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants which are major causes Barite Import/Export Price in Nigeria Market. The prices of barite, natural barium carbonate (witherite) in Nigeria range between ₦1127880.09 ₦1234379.31 in Nigeria millions (for imports) then for exports, the price range is ₦965633.84 ₦1431939.47.

However, between 1975 and 1980, the Nigerian Mining Corporation carried out exploratory work on barite deposits in Azara, Nasarawa State in North-Central Nigeria. Hence there is a need to improve the barite mining technique [27] In Nigeria, most of the barites used by the oil and gas industry are imported. In 2015, 17,406 tonnes of bariteThe extent of contamination and health risks of radionuclides in media around mining sites in Nigeria were carried out in this study. A total of 210 soils, sediments, tailings and rocks were collected from Anka, Arufu and Ijero mining areas. Samples were analyzed using HPLC inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.

In 2018, global mine production was about 9.18 million tpa while in 2019 there was an estimated value of about 9.5 million tpa. China alone accounts for 40% of barite production globally while Russia, India, Morocco, USA, Turkey, Mexico, Iran, Kazakhstan and Thailand account for around 50%.Barite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. However, there is insufficient literature on the downside of mining and associated hazards, especially in the artisanal barite mining sector. This paper contains three parts.

The present study focuses on the Iyamitet-Okurumutet barite mine area (south-eastern Nigeria) with both active and abandoned mining sites. They appear to be poor monitoring and management of mining activities and their effluents in the area. The mining operation carried out involves the open-cast method where a large quantity of Barite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. However, there is insufficient literature on the downside of mining and associated hazards, especially in the artisanal barite mining sector. This paper contains three parts.

In recent years, considerable attention has been shifted towards barite mining in Nigeria due to Federal Government's policy of using local raw materials. This resulted in many legal and illegal mining of barite, a major component used in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
