Abstract
Sixteen veins and other locations were mapped on the Gombe Inlier. Samples
were collected and taken to the laboratory for analysis. X-Ray Fluorescence
(XRF) analysis was the method employed in order to ascertain the accuracy
and reliability of the results. Out of the sixteen veins analyzed, six veins were
found to contain mostly Barite (BaS04), four veins were found to contain
mostly Anhydrite (CaS04), while six other veins contain mainly Silica (Si02).
