Method of mining tin and Columbite

Tin and Columbite are mined by a method called open cast method. The process of mining is as follows

  1. Explosives are used to remove the overburden rocks
  2. A powerful machine called a dragline is then used to pile the tin into a heap

  1. A monitor is then used to direct a strong jet of water towards the heap

  1. The water washes the soil out through a series of sluice boxes
  2. The tin ore sinks to the bottom of the sluice boxes while the water carries the dirt away

  1. The tin concentrate now formed is later sent to the factory for smelting
  2. Limestone: Limestone is a sedimentary rock mineral found in Ewekoro and Shagamu (Ogun state), Ukpilla (Edo state), Calabar (Cross River state), Nkalagu (Anambra state),Benue and Sokoto states.
