The Wa-Lawra greenstone belt is located in northwest Ghana and is largely dominated by Birimian metavolcanics, volcaniclastics, and metasediments with some intrusive suites. These rocks are capped by mineralized laterites in most localities, especially in the Kunche area. Previously, regolith materials such as laterites and soils from mixed sources...

This study investigated the petrographic and structural features of the Precambrian (Neoproterozoic) basement rocks of the Benin-Nigerian Shield that crop out in northwestern Nigeria within Kanoma and its environs to give an insight into the evolution and deformational episodes that pervaded them. The major rock types in the area are schists and qu...

The Gushegu Municipality and the East Mamprusi District in Ghana are dominated by the Oti/Pendjari Group within the Voltaian Supergroup. The major rock types found in the area are quartzites, siltstones, conglomerates, and shales with minor occurrences of tillites, silexites, limestones, and barite-rich dolomites. The inhabitants of the area are ma...

Mining contributes to an increased tax revenues, export earnings, employment opportunities, infrastructure development, and transfer of technology to the host countries. However, there is a high risk of socio-economic enclaves or environmental damages caused by mining operations which include the release of heavy metals into water and soil resource...

The Birimian Supergroup (2195-2135 Ma) of Ghana was affected by the Eburnean Tectono-thermal Event at approximately 2195 Ma. The latest stage of this event resulted in pegmatitic veining in the Birimian Supergroup of Ghana at 2072 Ma. Deposits of pegmatites have been reported by many researchers in the southwestern coast of Ghana. However, their mi...

The study of groundwater and surface water in the Ayanfuri area of the Central Region of Ghana has been carried out using hydrochemical analysis and geochemical modelling to determine its suitability for human consumption and irrigation purposes. A total of 77 samples were collected from community boreholes, observation boreholes, Tailing Storage F...

The Wa-Lawra greenstone belt is located in northwest Ghana and is largely dominated by Birimian metavolcanics, volcaniclastics, and metasediments. Previously, regolith materials such as laterites and soils from mixed sources were used to identify pathfinder elements of gold in the belt. However, in-situ laterites will better represent their underly...
