Review articleBarite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria:
The former type is found at the surface while the latter occurs deep below the surface of oxidation. Some of the companies beneficiating barite are Nigerian Baryte The main aim of this study is to contribute to efforts toward fostering the productivity and sustainability of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) of barite in Fostering the Sustainability of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining

Safe Mining Assessment of Artisanal Barite Mining Activities in Nigeria
Mining accidents and fatalities among the Artisanal and Small-scale miners (ASMs) occur in the process of mining metals, minerals, and energy materials (i.e., not construction materials), as shown in Table 1.Thousands of miners die from these mining accidents each year, especially in coal and hard rock mining [].Although surface mining is Hence there is a need to improve the barite mining technique [27] In Nigeria, most of the barites used by the oil and gas industry are imported. In 2015, 17,406 tonnes of barite were imported from China, Further processing of these barite samples is required to increase the% BaSO 4 from 80 to 95 to be applicable on API standard [36, Characterization of barite ores from selected locations in Nigeria

Optimization of Azare low-grade barite beneficiation
2.2. Description of study areas. Azare is located at 11°40′27″N 10°11′ 28″E, at an elevation of 436 m in Bauchi State, Nigeria. Fig. 1 describes the location of barite in the coordinate system of the site (Azare). It illustrates road networks and commercial areas.

Fostering the Sustainability of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining
The exploration and mining of Nigerian barite are primarily by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) whose operations are characterized by poor productivity. As a result, the quantity and quality of barites produced do not satisfy the nation’s oil sector demands and other industries that require the mineral. This situation leads to massive importation of Nasarawa State in northcentral Nigeria was carried out by the Nigerian Mining c orporation between 1 975 and 1980 and a reserve of about 730, 0 00 tonnes o f ba rite was establis hed over the area(PDF) Reserve Estimation of Barite Deposits using

Mineralogical Characterization of Azara (Nigeria) Barite Ore
Barite is an industrial mineral used as a raw material in oil and gas drilling, paint, paper, rubber, plastic, glass, leather processing, tobacco, fertilizer, radiological and pharmaceutical industries [1,2,3,4,5].It plays an important role in the oil and gas industries as a weighting material for oil and gas drilling due to its softness, chemically inertness, Nigeria, with approximately 15 million tonnes, the country still imports barite from other countries. Only few literatures have reported on the beneficiation of Nigerian barite.’s
