dc.description.abstract	Kutigi village in niger state of Nigeria lies within longitude 5035‵E and latitude 90 11‵N and 9013‵N and falls within the sedimentary basin of Nigeria known as Bida basin. Stratigraphy of the northern part of the basin consist of Bida Sandstone, Sakpe Ironstone, Enagi Siltstone and Batati Ironstonerespectively. Field observation revealed that the clay occur beneath Oolitic ironstone and lateritic soil of about 2.5meters. mineralogical and geochemical investigation indicate that the clays are of kaolinitic and are formed from acid rock insitu. Geophysical investigations of the occurrences revealed varying thickness of 3meters, 13 meters, 12 meters of clay. Reserve estimate of 279,760 tones suggested that the clay can be exploitable. Open cast method is applicable due to thin overburden	en_US
