Review articleBarite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria:
Barites and associated minerals in vein and cavity filling occur along faults, joint and bedded planes, breccia zones, solution channels and other sink structures. Deposit in solution channel and sink structures are common in limestone (Nigeria Geological Adamu, C.I.; Nganje, T.; Edet, A.

Characterization of barite reserves in Nigeria for use as
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.of the companies beneficiating barite are Nigerian Baryte Mining and Processing Company and Delta Processor Limited Lafia, Nasarawa State (Onwualu e t al, 2013).

Fostering the Sustainability of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining
The exploration and mining of Nigerian barite are primarily by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) whose operations are characterized by poor productivity. As a result, the quantity and quality of barites produced do not satisfy the nation’s oil sector demands and other industries that require the mineral. This situation leads to massive importation 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.

The solid minerals and mining sector contributed a paltry 0.5% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018, with annual production averaging 40 million metric tons valued at about 34 billion nairaIn 2017, the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) reported that three of the 26 minerals exported accounted for 73.81% of total exports. The commodities are zinc ores and concentrate, lead ores and concentrate, and silica sands and quartz.
