Abstract: This study was carried out to acquire hydro-geophysical data and provide detailed interpretation of the data in parts of Malete, Moro local government, Kwara State, Nigeria. The geographical coordinates of the study area are longitude 8˚ 42' 0" East and Latitude 4˚ 28' 0" North. A total of 16 Vertical Electrical Soundings were carried/ estimated out across three profiles using the Schlumberger electrode array configuration, with current electrode separation (AB/2) varying from 1m to 80 m. The data obtained were subjected to interpretation by partial curve matching and then by computer iteration. The interpretation of the VES data also assisted in the characterization of three to four geo-electric layers from which the aquifer unit was delineated. The layers are divided into Topsoil, Laterites, weathered basement and Fresh bed rock. The weathered and fractured basements are the aquifer unit delineated across the area. The thickness of the weathered basement unit varies from 10.1m to 38.3m in the area..

Abstract: The limestone of the Kanawa Member of Pindiga Formation from the Gongola Basin within the Upper Cretaceous Series form part of the limestone deposit of Ashaka Quarry which is characterized by occurrence of several sedimentary successions. The study is based on the geochemical composition of 8 samples obtained from the mining site. Geochemical analysis shows that calcium oxide (CaO) has the highest concentration with an average value of 78.67%, followed by silica which has10.40%, the least is Na2O which relatively has 0.0%. MgO has low values indicating that the calcite is principally the dominant carbonate. Limestone Saturation Factor (L.S.F), Alumina Ratio (A.R), and Silica Ratio (SR) values are relatively suitable for the manufacture of Portland cement. Fe2O3 which has an average value....

Abstract: Detailed geochemical study of shale samples collected from NNPC exploratory wells (Mbeji-1, Murshe-1, Albarka- 1 and Kadaru-1) was carried out to determine their source generative potential. The studies revealed three potential horizons in some of the studied wells with relative increase in trace element concentrations, this virtually showed maturity. The horizons in the exploratory wells are; Mbeji-1 between 2290- 2295m, Albarka-1 between 1600- 1605m, and Kadaru-1 between 2200- 2205m respectively. A redox proxy was also carried out to deduce the ancient depositional environment of the sediments; it showed that the sediments were deposited in anoxic to euxinic paleo-environments which were interpreted from the values of V/Cr ratios.
