The Agbaja Iron Ore project in Kogi State Nigeria is a unique sedimentary hosted channel iron goethite deposit. The sedimentary ore allows for a simple beneficiation circuit resulting in a low-cost concentrate feed for pre-reduction and smelting to produce steel billets. However, the ore contains high levels of phosphorous (1-2 %) which need to be reduced for the crude steel to …
There are sufficient indicated mineral resources at Agbaja to support a five …
Hydrometallurgical and other conventional mining technologies on low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. The use of microbes to degrade such type of minerals is gaining acceptance. This study was carried out, therefore to isolate, identify and characterize iron solubilizing bacteria from Iron stones of Agbaja iron ore mining site of Kogi State.

The iron ore potential map was validated using known iron ore mines and deposits, which showed a perfect correlation, and new sites of probable iron ore mineralization within north-central Nigeria ...
Starting from a crude ore assaying 45.6% Fe, a fine-grained oolitic iron ore was concentrated by the oil agglomeration technique to 90% Fe recovery and 65% Fe assay. The ore required grinding to minus 5 μm to effect adequate liberation, and the technique yielded optimum results at pH 9. The roles of pH, collector, and bridging liquid concentrations on selectivity and …
