| Abstract: | Samples from two different locations in Ka’oje (Kebbi State, Nigeria) were mineralogically characterized. Obtained petrographs and micrographs were analysed to establish optical and microstructural behaviours of the samples and their respective minerals. Ores’ chemical formations, constituent minerals’ compositions and proportions were investigated using energy dispersed X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRFS). The results showed the anisotropy of of the ores which are secondary deposition, combining ferruginous and metallurgical manganese ore types with dominant oxide manganese minerals. |
