Over 90% of barite mining activities in Nigeria are carried out by artisanal and smallscale miners (ASMs), and up to 75% of these miners operate informally, without mining license and rights. Such mining activities endanger human lives through the uncontrolled release of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants which are major causes and consequences of severe health hazards in children and ...
The majority of barite in Nigeria is mined in Cross River, Benue, Nasarawa, Zamfara, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Rivers, Gombe, and Ebonyi states.

Nigeria, such that the country today does not feature in the international mining map as a worthy destination for mineral investment. What we have in fact is a sector that is devoid of major mineral investment4, replete with several artisanal, small scale and illegal miners whose activities have made very little, if any, impact on Nigeria's GDP.
Barite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. However, there is insufficient literature on the downside of mining and associated hazards, especially in the artisanal barite mining sector. This paper contains three parts. The initial section reviews major causes of mining accidents and health hazards in Nigeria. The second section examines existing but ...
