Characterization and Suitability of Nigerian Barites for Different
This work aimed to characterize barite samples from selected different locations in Nigeria and determine their suitability for various industrial applications. The properties determined include mineralogy, chemical composition, morphology, functional groups, and specific gravity. Samples were obtained from ten locations in Nasarawa and The Azara barite deposits formed parts of Middle Benue Trough which is located in an elongated rift (or faulted-bounded) mega structural depression trending NE-SW to a length of over 1000 km and a width of 100 km.Petrological and geochemical investigations of Azrara barite deposits were carried out.

Physicochemical Studies for Risk Identification, Assessment, and
Over 90% of barite mining activities in Nigeria are carried out by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs), and up to 75% of these miners operate informally, without mining license and rights.The specific gravity of barite should range from 4.1 to 4.6 to be applicable as a drilling mud additive. This study considered the occurrence, utilization and challenges facing the mining of barite in Nigeria.
