2. Geologic setting. The Benue Trough is an intracontinental Cretaceous sedimentary basin in Nigeria. It has up to 6000 m of Cretaceous–Palaeogene sediments of which those before the MidSantonian were folded, faulted and uplifted in several places ( Benkhelil, 1989).
Geologic Setting In terms of Geology, Enugu occupies much of the highlands of Awgu, Udi and Nsukka. The hills are flanked by the rolling lowlands of Oji River, Anambra basin to the West and Ebonyi (Abome) River basin to the East. Fig 1 belowis the map showing the various formations within the Anambra Basin.
Coal mining in the Enugu area of Nigeria has generated a lot of mine waste that has been dumped in landfills and surface dumps chosen for convenience and proximity to the waste source rather than environmental, geologic or engineering considerations. Environmental degradation and groundwater contamination has resulted. Structural analysis of the area shows that the geological formations are ...
Extensive research have been carried out to assess the radionuclide contents of coal deposits around the world [1, 2, 5, 13, 17–19, 26, 30–32], but information on the radioactivity of Nigerian coal is relatively limited. Yet Nigeria is endowed with abundant coal deposits with enough capacity to generate up to 30% of its energy needs.
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth. The geological survey agency of Nigeria and the ministry of mines and steel development have reported the occurrence of more than 34 minerals in over 450 locations spread across the entire country, which are in various stages of development.

The Geology of Nigeria is dominated by three major rock types; the crystalline (igneous and metamorphic rocks) and sedimentary rocks both occurring approximately in equal proportions.

Coal occurrence, exploitation, Processing, and utilization have strong impact both on human health and the environment. This results from its composition and environment of occurrence. Maiganga Coal occurs in the Gombe sandstone. Result of the petrography analysis of the study area demonstrates high silica content and the presence of some elements in the mine.
Chemical studies have been carried out on coal samples from Maiganga coal mine, Gombe formation, Upper Benue Trough of Nigeria with a view to determine theirchemical characteristics and possible utilization as coking coal or otherwise. The coal samples used for the analyses were sourced from the Maiganga coal mine. Various conventional coal analytical methods were adopted according to the ...
Dec 02, 2015· Coal was first discovered in Nigeria in 1909 at the Udi Ridge in Enugu by a British mines engineer, Albert Kitson. Kitson had been prospecting for silver. By 1914, the year of Nigeria''s amalgamation, the first consignment of coal made its way to the United Kingdom from the newly created ports at Port Harcourt.
CiteSeerX Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): The impact of water in surface and underground mining activities is of great concern to Mining Engineers and Geoscientists to the effect that its accumulation in excess quantity can render mining of minerals ineffective. Surface and underground mines must therefore constantly be dewatered in order to forestall over ...
Jul 02, 2010· The Anambra Basin, located in southeastern Nigeria, appears to contain the largest and most economically viable coal resources. The basin covers an area of approximately million hectares and is constrained by the Niger River on the west, the Benue River on the north and the Enugu Escarpment on the east.

The generation and distribution of C 11+ aromatic hydrocarbons has been investigated in 24 rock samples from the Campanian–Maastrichtian Nkporo shales and coals of the Anambra Basin in the lower Benue Trough. The study focused on dicyclic and tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons identified on gas chromatograms. The distribution of these compounds and their alkyl homologs are strongly controlled ...
Like other parts of the world, coal is the oldest commercial fuel, dating in Nigeria from 1916 when 24,000 tons were produced. Production peaked at near one million tons in 1959, before declining to the present insignificant level. This is due to the
The Lower Benue Trough like other Sedimentary Basins in Nigeria is found to be endowed with mineral resources. The mineral resources so far reported in the Trough by the Geological Survey of Nigeria Agency are discussed below. Coal: Anambra Basin in the Lower Benue Trough is a major coal producing basin in Nigeria where intensive

May 13, 2019· The Cretaceous Mamu Formation coal samples located within the Northern Anambra Basin were collected, analysed and interpreted using multivariate statistical approach to determine the major, trace and rare elements association with a view to determine the source of the terrestrial rocks, palaeoweathering/climatic conditions and tectonic setting. The dominant oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, .
