The project work is centered on spatial assessment of the degradation of soil quality resulting from mining operations at Itakpe Iron Ore, Okene, Nigeria. A comprehensive survey of the zone affected by extraction operation, ...

This study was carried out to assess the environmental impacts of tin mining in Sabon-Barki and Gyel, areas on the Jos-Plateau (Lat. 90 45’ 31 N; 90 49’ 60N and Long. 80 48’ 20E; 80 52’55E). The study area was surveyed ...

Size distribution of blast-hole drill cuttings and rock mass properties were investigated to predict mechanical breakage performance. This research was embarked upon in order to establish a prediction criterion for determining ...

This research determines the physio-mechanical properties of selected rock types with the view to select the most suitable rock type as stemming materials. The physio-mechanical properties tested include particle sizes ...

The research analyzed the characterization of limestone in selected quarries in Ogun State for the prediction of penetration rate. The research was conducted using the field data and rock samples collected from the two ...

The geoenvironmental evaluation of mine sites in Jos area of Plateau State, Nigeria was carried out to assess the extent of environmental degradation as a result of mining activities in the study area. The terrain mapping ...

Manganese is essential to iron and steel production by virtue of its sulphur-fixing, deoxidizing, and alloying properties. Iron making including its steel making component, has accounted for most manganese demand. Recovery ...

Rock blasting is by nature a highly destructive process demanding careful control. Rock, which is under blasted, can add significant problems and costs to a mining operation. Poorly managed drilling and blasting operations ...

Investigation was carried out on the stability of lateritic soildue to some geotechnical properties in selected burrow pits in Akure, Ibadan, Ewekoro and Iperu areas, south western Nigeria for predicting their slope ...
