Abstract
A low–grade gold mineralization occurrence has been mapped around
Bishewa area, Central Nigeria. This is closely related to series of parallel
subsidiary shear zones that are associated with regional lineaments.
Petrographic studies revealed spatial and temporal associations existing
between gold mineralization and quartz-filled shear zones. This suggests
that the gold mineralization in Bishewa is structurally controlled but with no
lithological preference.
