GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION FOR POTENTIAL GOLD MINERALISATION IN SHAKWATU AREA OF NIGER STATE, NIGERIA USING VERY LOW FREQUENCY AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY METHODS
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. Mineral potential (especially gold) is evident by the extensive artisanal mining activities in the area. The Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic-VLF EM and electrical resistivity method was employed in ...
