environment (Udiba et al., 2014). Recently attention has been drawn to barite mining in Nigeria as the federal government policy of using locally sourced materials has been enforced. This has resulted in the growth of many legal and illegal barite mining sites that generates vast quantities of mine rocks and tailings (Adamu et al., 2014).

There are low-, medium- and high-quality barite in Nigeria as shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1 (Essalhi et al. 2018; Oden 2012). The mining of barite between 0 and 5 m depth gave rise to low-quality barite due to the presence of associated impurities and low-pressurized hydrothermal fluids that are deficient of BaSO 4.
