Marble Deposits - In Nigeria, Africa, and globally, marble has a wide range of industrial applications, it is extensively deposited throughout the country but is majorly found in Abuja (FCT), Katsina, Oyo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Plateau, and Rivers State.
Most economic marble deposits in Nigeria are associated with the schist belts. The geology and occurrence of limestone and marble in Nigeria has been investigated (Odeyemi et al., 1997; Fatoye and Gideon, 2013). The industrial application of some viable marble deposits in Nigeria have also been ...
Marble is one of such rocks that occur prominently in Obajana area of Kogi State, North Central, Nigeria. Twenty five (25) marble samples were subjected to geochemical, petrographic and physical analyses. Geochemical data show that the marble has variable geochemical characteristics; low dolomite CaMg(C0 3 ) (1.1-3.01%) and high calcite CaCO ...

This article summarizes the information available on the country's limestone and marble deposits (the geology, occurrences, characteristics, reserves, production and quality).
The data were reduced off the regional field to obtain the residual field. Upward continuation and analytical signal were employed for qualitative interpretations. In addition to Euler and Werner Deconvolutions, spectral depth analyses were carried out to estimate the depth to causative geologic structures and basement of the target marble deposit.
In this study, samples from five different marble deposits, all within the area underlain by the schist belt in the Ukpilla area of Edo State (Nigeria), were subjected to standard laboratory …

2021. This paper investigates and reports the lithological and compositional features of Igue marble deposit in southwestern Nigeria. The deposit occurs as low-lying heterogeneous units under a humus-laden dark brown tropical soil within Igarra Schist Belt on south eastern flank of basement complex of southwestern Nigeria.
Efforts to diversify the Nigerian economy by increasing production and domestic utilization of industrial minerals, iron ores, bitumen and coal deposits form the core of a "roadmap" for the revitalization of the minerals and mining sector, with the main objective of increasing its contribution to 10% of GDP within the next decade.
the geophysical characteristics of the Ikpeshi marble deposit in Igarra area, southwestern Nigeria. The Geoelectrical (Resistivity) method was used to determine the initial overburden models for the gravity and magnetic models. Based on these investigations, a maximum overburden thickness of 40 meters was established for the marble deposit.
Marble deposit was investigated with the application of electrical resistivity method using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique with the aim of characterising this deposit in parts of Okpella. Six (6) VES were acquired using the Schlumberger array for data acquisition with current electrode spacing varying from 1.0 to 150.0 m.
