Integrated geophysical survey was carried out at Awo, Egbedore Local Government, Osun State, Southwest Nigeria to identify the location and depth of formation of different magnetic minerals.

Mineral Surveys of the Southern and Northern Nigeria in 1903 and 1904 respectively by the colonial government. By the 1940s, Nigeria was a major producer of tin, columbite, and coal. The extractive industry in Nigeria in the past was dominated by Government and as such the discovery of oil in 1956 hurt the mineral extraction industries.
