Addressing environmental impact of mining on host
As Nigeria focuses more on the Solid Minerals sector for economic growth and diversification, the need to ensure that all protocols guiding the exploitation of the Nigeria is endowed with vast reserves of solid minerals, including, but not limited to, precious metals, stones and industrial minerals Nigeria was a major exporter of tin, columbite and coal in the early 1970s 1 However, activities in the mining sector Repositioning the Nigerian Solid Minerals Mining Nigeria’s abundant solid minerals constitute some of the largest known deposits in recent years under different categories With the activities in the sector characterized by production and a growing environmental decline often overlooked This re uses a mix scale approach of descriptive statistics and GIS methodology in analyzing the ecological impacts of mining in NigeriaAssessing the Ecological Effects of Mining in West

A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SOLID
Nigeria ABSTRACT: Nigeria’s economic history shows that the solid minerals sector was a major player in the country’s economy before the discovery of oil, contributing about 12 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Generally, the exploitations of solid minerals always take place in communities where they are deposited Potential environmental implications of minerals exploration and exploitation activities411 Environmental implications of tin mining The environmental damages caused by tin mining in JosPlateau include: the destruction of pastoral land while ing for cassiterite; mine dumps; mine tailings containing radioactive waste; and also mine pondsThe environmental implications of the exploration and Mining licenses in Nigeria cannot be used as collateral for loans, as done in other global mining hubs GDP from mining of solid minerals However, this figure is solely from the formal mining sector The artisanal mining sector is largely evacuation, resulting in environmental degradation, erosion and excessive pollution, amongst other Developing the solid minerals sector Quick wins for the

National Minerals and Metals Policy approved for the sector in 2009 The Act vested the regulation of the mining sector under the Minister for Solid Minerals Development who has authority on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria to issue licenses to mining operators The Act provides for the following classes of licenses in the mining sector: The natives tap these minerals crudely with so many mining mills scattered all over the State [8] Dareta village is one of such mining fields The uncontrolled and illegal mining activities have left a lot of environmental hazards, enormous amount of wastes and different types of pollutants on the mining Impact of mining activities on ground water quality status Minerals and Mining Act 2007 for the purposes of regulating all aspects of the exploration and exploitation of solid minerals in Nigeria; and for related purposes [2007 No 50] [29th March, 2007] [Commencement] ENACTED by the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria CHAPTER 1 Minerals, Exploration, Mining and Quarrying PART I NIGERIAN MINERALS AND MINING ACT Nigeria's
