Mining in Nigeria. Mining in Nigeria dates back to 1902 when organised mining in its exploration stage started with the then Secretary of State for Colonies commissioning mineral surveys of the Southern and Northern Protectorates (MMSD, 2016).The first record of a mined mineral was tin ore by the Royal Niger Company in 1905 (Hodder, 1959).Through the years, …

The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.

The often-quoted (unofficial) figures of 2 to 5 billion tons of iron ore reserves in Nigeria are fallacious. A geological review of the iron ore deposits shows that, among the numerous...

This study used Landsat 8 (OLI/TIRS) to map iron ore deposits around the Niger–Benue River Confluence in Nigeria. Radiometric calibration was used to improve the quality of the remotely sensed image. Band ratioing and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to identify the iron ore mineral deposits. While a geological map was used to validate remote …
