Barite is barium sulfate with the chemical formula of BaSO4. Unlike barite witherite (BaCO3) it is not chemically inert, it can dissolve in water and, when dissolved, can cause an environmental hazard. Barite forms in many geologic environments with both metallic and nonmetallic minerals. Minerals associated with the ore are a main concern when …
Artisanal mining.

Barite was first detected in Azara in the early 1960s (Courtesy of the Geological Survey of Nigeria, 1965). The Nigeria Barite Mining and Processing Company (NBMPC) Ltd., incorporated in 1988 was charged with the exploration and exploitation of barite in Azara and in any other part of Nigeria where this mineral
Nigeria is endowed with vast reserves of natural resources such as energy minerals like coal and lithium, metallic minerals like gold and lead-zinc and industrial minerals like limestone and barite. The country was a major exporter of tin, columbite and coal in the 1960s to early 1970s.
The chronic daily intake assessment and health quotient analysis revealed that the accumulation of lead and barium is possible and can initiate chronic diseases in humans over a long time and certain safe mining protocols and controls are recommended. Barite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. …
