Abstract
The Lokpaukwu Uru Quarry was examined geologically, geophysically, and core-wise. The location is between 5056.149'N and 5056.193'N and 7028.312'E and 7028.356'E. The study location may include the Asu River Group and the Eze-Aku Formation. This area has five rock units. In the eastern research region, siltstone forms a "CAP" on the shale. Shale underlies half of the study area. The west has calcareous sandstone. The eastern part of the area is dolerite, the main rock that spans siltstone and shale. The region's geological matter contains iron. Two geological sections were analysed and interpreted to identify the five rock units and their outcrops in the study area. electroresistivity in geophysical research Schlumberger found that the western, northwesterly, and central sections of the research region had a thick sedimentary sequence, whereas the eastern half has an igneous body, the project's main component. Sandstone, siltstone, and shale follow the high-resistivity rock in this location. The rock unit in the region was found in eleven core samples from the east half of the study area. Nine rock-unit core samples were found near Obichioke. The Lokpaukwu area's core data shows the rocks' positions, kinds, minerals, and strengths. Geologic mapping shows that a major fault separates the viable Uru end from the unviable Obichioke lot. Recrystallization dominates the fault track (alcitic matter). Thus, prior to quarrying igneous (basic) units, comparable investigations are advised.
