ABSTRACT
An integrated geological, geophysical and hydrogeological studies were carried out to investigate the groundwater potential and quality in part of Makurdi, North Central Nigeria. The study area is entirely sedimentary and is dominantly fine to coarse grained sandstone with vary...
ABSTRACT
Minerals serve a very important economic commodity to the growth and development of any nation, state or community. In an attempt to delineate potential zones for gold mineralisation, a geophysical investigation was carried out around Shakwatu area of Niger State, Nigeria. Mine...
ABSTRACT
To accurately explore and develop prospective mineral deposits, systematic geophysical approaches becomes a useful tool to establish areas of economically viable zones for exploration activities. This study integrates very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) and vertical ele...
ABSTRACT
Ground magnetic and geoelectrical resistivity methods were used to prospect for gold mineralisation within Tsoho-Gurusu area of Minna, Niger state. The study area is bounded with latitudes 09o ׳37 13״N to 09o ׳37 28.6״ N and longitudes 006o ׳36 29.4״ E to 006 o ׳36 13.1״E, with...

ABSTRACT
Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES), using Schlumberger array was carried out to investigate the subsurface layer parameters of a 500 x 500 m land area located between latitude 09o 32′21.4′′ N to 09o 32′37.8′′ N and longitude 06o 27′29.2...
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the study: Soil has many varying functions aside from providing the primary form for which plant exist and reproduce it also has the function of separating and absorbing while also restricting the mo...
