GEOLOGICAL AND GEOELECTRICAL INVESTIGATION OF DIRIOTE DEPOSITS IN OBIAGU, AMAUBURI, AND UMUNEOCHI AREA, SOUTH-EASTERN NIGERIA – SUGGESTIONS FOR QUARRY SITE

The study employs geological and geo-electrical investigation of diorite deposits in south-eastern Nigeria. It involves analysis outcrops by measuring the electrical values properties different subsurface materials. locations were explored to assess overburden thickness, downward trend, total mineral resource, rock grade. results showed that is a with mean density 2.88 x 103 kg-3, 2.71 2.82 kg-3 Obiagu, Umuneochi, Amaubiri respectively. found area visible calcite (CaCO3) veins loaded olivine pyrite minerals. From acquired data using Schlumberger setup, three five geo-electric layers deduced from resistivity software Amaubiri, Umuneochi. volume materials was estimated outcrop length, width, about 365,850metric tons 442,656 metric 2,745,396metric Amaubiri. trend these areas NE-SW direction. suggested use core drilling approach carefully analyze estimate precise reserve places.
