Gold is artisanally mined from eluvial deposits within Osu–Amuta–Itagunmodi areas of Ilesa Schist Belt, southwestern Nigeria. Mine site selection and mining operations are done without any understanding of mode of occurrence, compositional characteristics and extent of gold mineralisation. The present study was aimed at determining the host …

Anka In this area, there are a number of old gold mines, such as Kwali, Jameson, Zuzzurfa and Kuba, hosted by schists, phyllites and quartzites of the schist belt. Individual veins or reefs seldom exceed 0.5 km o f strike length as indicated by the extent of past workings, and are concordant with the host rock foliation.
Gold Distribution in the USA. The distribution of gold in the US is uneven. Most gold deposits are in Alaska, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona. Most of the main gold-producing districts are in the mountainous areas of the United States, where folding, faulting, and igneous intrusions have deformed the rocks.
The As values in soils obtained in the present study are higher than those obtained by [3] in the soils of Anka artisanal gold mining area, Northwest Nigeria (0.64 μg/g. The high average as ...

In the study area, gold-bearing alteration zones and associated quartz veins formed in local extensional sites centered on well-defined fractures in host rocks. 4. …
deposits), but often the elucidation of surface structure of the upper crust is the valuable contribution of the aeromagnetic data [6]. 1.1 Location and Geology of the Study Area
This area of Gold Mineralisation is situated in the extreme southern part of the Kusheka schist belt. The fifth in the Gold occurrences in the country is the federal capital territory (FCT). The document says recent investigation and analytical geochemical data indicated the occurrence of anomalous Gold concentration in samples of Ibbaban ...
ated with the Anka–Yauri–Iseyin transcurrent fault, and the study area is located directly beneath the Bin-Yauri gold eld [3 ]. Therefore, the geology of the Bin-Yauri and the fault system of the Anka fault could be closely related to that of the Alagbede goldeld area. Gold mineralization in Nigeria is concentrated in the
A notable exception is the Jiaodong gold deposits of China, where ca. 120-Ma gold deposits are hosted in Precambrian crust that was metamorphosed over 2000 million years prior to gold ...
The identified ore deposits within the study area are gold and molybdenite (Garba, 2000; NGSA, 2006). The Anka schist belt, bounded to the east by the Maru …
Gold is an important resource located within the subsurface, and its mineralization is Vcontrolled by geology, structures and hydrothermal alteration within …
Abundant gold occurrence is associated with the Anka-Yauri-Iseyin shear complex. Abstract. ... Preliminary field investigations have shown that the Wawa study area possibly hosts orogenic gold deposits. This study carried out field investigation, petrological study, and geochemical analysis to understand and characterize the …
Exploring for mineral deposits within the Anka Schist Belt involves the use of traditional geological techniques such as geochemical and geophysical studies that are very expensive and time consuming. There is therefore need for a better alternative ... while listvenitization plays a significant role in gold concentration along the Haimur area ...

There are also large deposits of lead and zinc in the state, which are often found in association with gold. Other minerals found in Zamfara State include copper, kaolin, gypsum, quartz, mica, granite, and tantalite. These mineral resources are found in different parts of the state, including Anka, Maru, Talata Mafara, and Dansadau.
Gold mineralisation commonly occurs in quartz veins in mesothermal-type deposits (Elkhateeb and Abdellatif Citation 2018). The primary host rock for veined deposits include fine-grained tremolite schists, mica schists and amphibolites schist which form part of the metasediments in the survey area ( Figure 6 ) and several variety of …
Gold occurrences have been reported in Alagbede, southwestern Nigeria, but a mineral potential map (MPM) to guide academics and investors in the area is still needed. As a result, geophysical methods (aeromagnetics and aero-radiometry) have been used to assess the potential for gold minerals in the area. Several enhancement filters, such as …
Primary gold mineralization has been documented in several schist belts in 1981; Garba, 2002), with primary gold deposits reported in the Maru, Anka and Kushaka Schist belts, but Malumfashi schist ...
In Manitoba, gold deposits have been found in Keewatin greenstone, schist, and volcanic rocks near granite intrusions. The Red Lake gold range, in Ontario, is continued westward in Manitoba. Northwest of Lake Winnipeg, a gold range begins at Wekusko Lake, and continues westward to and into Saskatchewan. The gold is found …
