LEAD (Pb) MINING IN EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA: IMPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT: Recent cases of lead (Pb) poisoning in Nigeria which has claimed the lives of over 500 children has been traced to mining. Forty soil samples were collected from the vicinity of four mining sites (A D) scattered across the three senatorial zones of the state.For five years, Frederick Chukwuemeze had the grim task of treating children poisoned by lead in Anka, a mining town in north-west Nigeria. Since 2010, more than 600 children have died from...‘A wonderful accomplishment’: success for cleanup of

Mining industry of Nigeria
The mining of minerals in Nigeria accounts for only 0.3% of its gross domestic product, due to the influence of its vast oil resources. The domestic mining industry is underdeveloped, leading to Nigeria having to import minerals that it could produce domestically, such as salt or iron ore. The rights to ownership of mineral resources is held by the Federal Government of Nigeria, which grantAccording to the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, Nigeria’s lithium is acclaimed to be of high grade given it’s lithium oxide content which ranges from 1 percent up to 13 percent, Nigerian Mining Sector Watch KPMG

Lack of government actionLead and zinc ore deposits have been mined on a very a large scale in Nigeria. Over 30 lodes of lead-zinc measuring an aggregate length of about 7,000m have been reported in the Nigerian lead-zinc field. The mineralization was shown by drilling to be up to 100m depth.

A preliminary description of the Nigerian lead-zinc field
Abstract. The lead-zinc deposits of Nigeria occur, with few exceptions, in the main belt of lower Cretaceous formations in the Benue and Niger river region. They constitute mineralized fracture fillings in folded and faulted Aptian to Turonian strata, are closely associated with and probably genetically related to dioritic intrusions emplacedArtisanal and small-scale miners are exposed in their work to multiple toxic hazards, most notably mercury, lead, cyanide, arsenic, cadmium, and cobalt: Mercury exposure occurs mainly in gold mining, where milled ore is mixed with mercury to form an amalgam, and the amalgam is then vaporized and produces highly toxic mercury vapor.Reducing disease and death from Artisanal and Small-Scale
