Cost and Technical Requirements for starting/operating a small scale gemstone Mine Nigeria is a blessed a country with a lot of minerals most especially solid minerals like Gemstone e.g Gold, Diamond, Ruby, Tourmaline, Sapphire and more  To start with, Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) are formal or informal operations with predominantly simplified forms of exploration, extraction, processing and transportation. ... While ASM can provide a mean to generate income to get out of poverty, it can also be a way to trap miners and the families in poverty. Briefly, on the mineral we are about to get is technical requirement and cost for mining the mineral. Gemstone is a piece of mineral with special properties like colour, hardness among others which makes it different from other earth forming Mineral. This mineral is such that after it has been cut and polished is made into a piece of jewelry or another accessory FORMATION OF GEMSTONES Gemstones are of substantial monet...

The availability of immense solid Mineral  in Edo is no longer in doubt as we have proven reserve of Dolomite, limestone, feldspar, kaolin, Granite , Gold , Sand among others. This becomes more authenticated when Journal of National research Volume 3, No.11 published in 2013 shows the distribution of limestone, dolomite and Marble within Akoko Edo, okpella, igara, atte, Etsako to mention few geographical locations. This was the view point discribled by Gov. Godwin Obaseki in December 18, 2016 on Nigeria Observer news that "Edo solid minerals can generate more revenue than oil".  But to strengthen the investor in the mining industry require a clear Road Maps for a sustainable funding.  Who are the Miners?

 I will be sharing knowledge on most important aspect of Mining Engineering, which is Drilling and blasting.  Actually, I always considered this as the most important aspect because as a Mining Engineer this is our tool, this is the only aspect that other Engineers can never share with us as a Miner. This aspect is wide and extend to various other Fields. Some of which are: 1.Petroleum in terms of casing perforation, Exploration (seismic survey) among other applications 2. Civil engineering works in the aspect of road construction ( road obstacle rock fragmentation), subsurface liquidification/compaction to mention few. 3. Borehole drilling: most time during Borehole drilling bed rock encountered are fragmented by blasting. This is just few out of the application of drilling and blasting in other Fields. What is Drilling? Drilling is the creation of artificial hole into rock by man controlled or automated machines without the admittance of man in the hole. M...

Many questions runs through my mind in 2016 when I was about to start the journey of my 5 years mining engineering study in Federal University of Technology Akure. I kept asking myself, which field is wealth host as far as Engineering is concern?  Why? Because I am aware of how many graduates have nothing doing after NYSC than to start from square one"learning peti trade" The first thing that comes into my mind was the abundant availability of mineral resources in Nigeria my country. I know From economics, establishment of companies in any country depend vividly on the availability of raw materials. I also understand from news that, the chance of getting job in my country is narrow if the wrong course is study but wide if the right course is study. But to be candidly speaking, there is no wrong or right department, the only problem is that most final year student  produced from most institutions are usually valueless. Some may study Geology without any useful Geolo...

COVID19 pandemic is generally know as a world wide challenge at this time. According to NCDC, Nigeria has recorded 288 cases as at today 10/04/2020. Mineral industry  Miners as other Nigeria workers lament on the effect of this pandemic as it's affect their operations in the mine. The president of Mining Association of Nigeria (MAN) as earlier declare the shutdown of all Mining industries in the country to contain further spread of the virus. Compliance to this order by the Miner will cost them a lot. Foreigner mine workers will definitely evacuate the country as well as those in charge of processing plants. Remember what civil war did to Enugu coal mine till today. This holiday will also led to the abandonment of mine surface water which will require high pumping cost. Apart from dewatering cost, most developed pit face will have been locked by erosive sediments and debris. .......If the pandemic could stop mining operations . How do we find to pay annual service fee f...
