Lead
The formation of lead-zinc ore deposits in Nigeria is attributed to hydrothermal processes. These involve the circulation of hot fluids through the rocks, carrying dissolved metals. When the fluids encounter suitable host rocks, they precipitate and deposit lead and zinc minerals, resulting in ore formation.

tectonic conditions that predict the largest clastic-dominated lead-zinc deposits. We show that the largest potential for metal endowment is expected in narrow asymmetric rifts at a distance of several tens of kilometres to the shore (Glerum et al., 2023). Characterized by rift migration, these rifts generate a wide and a narrow conjugate margin.

Quarrying
Once the overburden has been removed by processes similar to those used in hard rock quarrying, deposits of sand and gravel are usually extracted by a range of earth-moving plant (Figure 16.6).Some sand and gravel pits extract beneath the local water table and are 'wet pits', whereas others exploit wholly above the water and are 'dry pits'.
