Barite is a non-metallic mineral which is simply barium sulfate (BaSO4) and is largely used by the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling mud during drilling operations.
The exploration and mining of Nigerian barite are primarily by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) whose operations are characterized by poor productivity.
Ogah further added that under the project, the Federal Government intends to embark on infrastructural development within the cluster area; namely, a barite …
