The epigenetic Pb-Zn deposits of the southern Benue Valley (Nigeria) are localized within Cretaceous sediments of an intracontinental rift basin. Fluid inclusion studies of vein minerals from the Abakaliki and Ishiagu orebodies show that sphalerite and quartz were deposited at relatively low temperatures (102–175 °C), with ore-fluid salinity mostly in the range of 17–25

Lead zinc copper mineralization in the lower Benue Trough of Nigeria occurs as discordant fracture controlled veins within the Lower Cretaceous shales of the Asu River Group. Three stages of events are proposed for the evolution of the veins in this district: (i) pre-ore fracturing and brecciation of Albian shales accompanied by the precipitation of framboidal and colloform

The lead-zinc lodes in the Benue Trough carry small amounts of fluorspar which also occur in tin veins in the younger granites. Impure graphite is known in the younger metasediments near Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, Taraba and Adamawa States, at Hayna (Ningi) in Bauchi State and in the Obudu area of Cross River State.

Alteration Mapping for Lead-Zinc-Barium Mineralization

The Benue Trough galena-sphalerite-baryte occurrences are formed by open space filling in faults, hence they are generally considered to be epigenetic fracture filling deposits (Ezepue 1984; Oha et al. 2017). Oha et al. (2017) summarized the main characteristics of the lead-zinc-barium mineralization in the Benue Trough as (i) the ores

The Benue Trough of Nigeria is a sedimentary basin that extends from the Gulf of Guinea in the southwest to the Chad Basin in the northwest for about 800 km in length and 150 km in width. Lead-zinc-barytes occurs in almost the entire length of the Benue Trough. Lead-zinc-barytes mineralization in the Trough is believed to be hydrothermal in origin and is associated with
