only 94 wells have been drilled to Precambrian basement. This is approximately one well per every two townships. Most of these basement tests have been drilled in the southeast part of Sin Nombre. There are 106 townships with no wells drilled to basement. Structure Precambrian structure is dominated by a uniform eastward dip of approximately 1o across

mineral veins [8]. Southwestern Nigeria is made up of rocks which are mainly Precambrian in age. The Nigerian Basement Complex comprises of migmatites, gneisses and supracrustal sequences. PanAfrican orogenic imprints in the Nigerian Basement Complex .

Minnesota has excellent mineral potential. Much of Minnesota's geologic terrane is a continuation of the mineralrich Canadian Shield of Ontario and Quebec, which has yielded gold, silver, zinc, copper, nickel, titanium, and other precious metals and base metals.

Nigerian Precambrian Basement Complex which forms part of the PanAfrican mobile belt placed inbetween the West African and Congo Cratons (Black, 1980). Generally the Basement Complex of Nigeria is composed of four major petrolithological units namely: the Migmatite – Gneiss Complex; the Schist Belt (Metasedimentary and

The basement complex area of Nigeria is composed predominantly of migmatitic and granitic gneisses, quartzite, slightly migmatised to unmigmatised metasedimentary schist and metaigneous rocks, charnockitic, gabbroic and diorite rocks and the members of the older granite suite mainly granites, granodiorites and syenites.

Geochemical analysis of shallow groundwater from Ilorin metropolis was carried out with the aim of assessing the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the groundwater. Thirty (30) boreholes were examined and samples were collected from these boreholes. These samples were subjected to chemical analyses to determine both cations and anions compositions of the groundwater.

A few basics. Mineral explorers rely on a wide range of geophysical techniques including magnetic, gravity, electrical, electromagnetic and radiometric, and above all on strong knowledge of hardrock geology and on results of local field mapping and exploration drilling.

Precambrian, period of time extending from about billion years ago (the point at which Earth began to form) to the beginning of the Cambrian Period, approximately 541 million years ago. The Precambrian represents more than 80 percent of the total geologic record.

Precambrian basement, containing extensive oil residues, in Shropshire, onshore UK, and assess the distribution of microbial activity using organic molecular biomarker evidence for biodegradation. The oil residues are degraded to bitumen (sensu lato; very viscous to brittle solid). In this case, as the rocks are

Geologically, Nigeria comprises crystalline basement rocks and sedimentary basins, almost in equal proportions. The ages of the basement rocks span Precambrian to early Palaeozoic, having been consolidated during the PanAfrican. The sedimen tary basins are of Cretaceous to Recent age.

Geological Survey of Nigeria Agency has played an active role in the exploration for mineral deposits in Nigeria.

PrePennsylvanian rocks in the Palo Duro Basin include (1) basal transgressive marine Cambrian(?) sandstones deposited over Precambrian basement, (2) overlying Lower Ordovician dolomites of the Ellenburger Group that formed when shallow seas covered much of the North American continent, and(3) Mississippian limestones and dolomites deposited when the area was inundated again after middle .

The potential of some selected Nigerian rock samples to wear drill bit was investigated. In order to achieve this, the point load strength for the three rock samples were tested using point load testing machine and tensile and compressive strength were es timated from the point load strength.

Nigeria is covered with Precambrian basement as well as variable thickness of sedimentary and regolith material, which obscures most direct geological signatures of the basement architecture (Figure 1). Analysis of magnetic and gravity potential field survey
