چکیده
Waste materials from mining tailings, often contain significant amounts of potentially valuable minerals. This study aimed at unearthing the minerals in Ijero Ekiti mine tailings. The tailing samples were randomly collected five locations area. analyzed for selected physico-chemical parameters: pH values, electrical conductivity, chloride, organic matter and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) using standard analytical techniques. parameters tailings range different concentration. x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis shows that high concentrations SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, other trace compounds. results this established
