Abstract
In the Ife-Ilesa schist belt, occurrence of alluvial gold is spatially related to the amphibolite complex which consists of mafic/ultramafic rocks and pelitic schists. The amphibolites constitute the most widespread mafic potential source rocks. An integrated exploration and statistical studies of geochemical data in this area was carried out to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the amphibolites, recognise and effectively delineate anomalous geochemical patterns related to potential areas of Au mineralization and evaluate geochemical and geological relationships.
