Problems Of Mining In Nigeria High Risk And Health Hazard; Mining naturally is a risky venture but in Nigeria, the risk level is even much higher than in many other countries of the world where technological advancement and better methods have lowered the risk involved.
The high riskiness of mining in Nigeria is due to the fact that the mineral Sector in Nigeria is mainly driven by the artisanal and small scale miners who embark on low technology and crude/traditional methods in their activities. They are exposed to high risk from dangerous metals such as lead and radioactive waste.
Coal can be mined by both the open cast mining method and the underground mining method. Nigeria& 39;s most exploited coal mines are lo ed at Enugu where NCC operated two underground coal mines and commercial production started in 1916, the peak in coal production was in the late 1950s reaching approximately 920,000 tons per annum.
Nigeria as a country is blessed with abundance of many resources which include stones, precious metals and minerals. Following the history of the Nigerian mining, In the early 70s, Nigeria was a major importer of coal, tin, and columbite, as such, Nigeria made a lot or revenue from the exportation process.
This report seeks to examine the financial viability or otherwise of mining crude kaolin in Nigeria. The business entails using mechanized method of mining to produce three hundred 300 tons per day of crude kaolin. The mining equipment required for operation are pay loader, dumper water pumping machine, weighing scale and project vehicle.
The Problems of Gold Mining in Nigeria The major problem in the development of the gold industry is the lack of information on the lo ion of the precious metal. And the government does not have all the necessary data on the current gold mining by small companies and since most individual miners hardly keep an honest record of the mined mineral.
Apart from crude potentials of Nigeria, Nigeria also has comparative advantage in the solid minerals sector owning to the large deposits of minerals s tered in the different parts of the country and if the nation is to achieve vision 2020, more efforts should be geared towards the development of the solid minerals sector of the Nigerian economy.
Nigeria - Nigeria - Independent Nigeria: Nigeria was granted independence on October 1, 1960. A new constitution established a federal system with an elected prime minister and a ceremonial head of state. The NCNC, now headed by Azikiwe who had taken control after Macaulay’s death in 1946 , formed a coalition with Balewa’s NPC after neither party won a majority in the 1959 elections
Ancient Egyptians mined copper as far back as 3000 BCE. In the earliest days, mining was slow-going and dangerous. However, as time progressed, society has developed safer and more accurate methods of lo ing and uncovering substances found in the earth. United States Mining History

Solving the critical environmental problems of global warming, water scarcity, pollution, and biodiversity loss are perhaps the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
Solutions To The Problems Of Mineral Exploitation In Nigeria. One thing we should note is that we cannot say because of the problems that we have around the exploitation of mineral resources in Nigeria, that we should stop it. This cannot be possible because of the huge economic benefits Nigeria is receiving from this sector.

The most predominant surface mining methods used for mining of iron ores are open pit mining methods and open cut mining methods. However a few underground iron ore mines are also in operation around the globe. The decision for employing surface mining or underground mining is dependent on the proximity of the ore body to the surface.

Nigeria is the giant of Africa. And of course, this country has quite a history behind it. In this write-up, you will have the opportunity to learn about what actually transpired in Nigeria during the colonial days; that is, those days before Nigeria became an independent country. We are going to focus specially on those days between 1900 and 1960.
