The epigenetic Pb-Zn deposits of the southern Benue Valley (Nigeria) are localized within Cretaceous sediments of an intracontinental rift basin. Fluid inclusion studies of vein minerals from the Abakaliki and Ishiagu orebodies show that sphalerite and quartz were deposited at relatively low temperatures (102–175 °C), with ore-fluid salinity mostly in …

mining of the lead-zinc ores commenced in all districts as early as 1925, the upper Benue deposits have been relatively less studied. Most of the studies were centered on the geology and origin of the lower Benue lead-zinc-copper deposits but which was always projected to the upper Benue Trough Zurak-Wase lead-zinc deposits
