198511· The present state of the mining activity is characterized by a mixture of traditional methods and modern mining, with an increas- Mineral industry of Ethiopia 345 ing proportion of the latter. The annual production value of these mineral commodities for all these years accounted for less than 1% of Ethiopia''s GDP.
2024119· Sedimentary rocks are produced by the weathering of preexisting rocks and the subsequent transportation and deposition of the weathering products. Among the sedimentary rocks, especially limestone is a crucial raw material for cement production. The purpose of this study was to characterize the valuable industrial raw materials, limestone, gypsum, clay, coal, …
The document discusses the geology of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, outlining key concepts such as the formation of the universe, continental drift, and …
Hence this work investigates parent rock assemblages of the antalo limestone of the Blue Nile Basin of their depositional tectonic setting; provenance and source area weathering, quality of antalo limestone for cement manufacturing, geochemical approach and compare with the antalo limestone in Mekelle Basin.
2025227· This study evaluates the suitability of various rock types for dimension stone applications through a combination of fieldwork, petrographic analysis, and geotechnical testing. The rocks investigated include Mesozoic sandstone, Precambrian migmatite gneiss, syn-tectonic granite, syn-to late-tectonic gabbroic diorite, and late to post-tectonic granite. Extensive field …
41· During the Mesozoic Era in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, sedimentary rocks such as Adigrat Sandstone, Antalo Limestone, and Amba Aradam Formation were formed. These rocks provide valuable insights into the geological history and ancient environments of the region. Their study helps geologists understand tectonic activities and past ecological conditions.
Mesozoic sandstone and limestone are found at several places in the east-central and central part of the country, and in addition to the small number of existing quarry operations, a potential …

n Ethiopia, limestone rocks account for 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks (Wondafrash et al. 2009). Particularly, in the study area, there is a huge reserve of limestone rocks as
The document provides a comprehensive overview of the industrial minerals and rocks resource potential of Ethiopia, compiled by the Geological Survey of Ethiopia. It discusses the geological mapping, mineral exploration, and the significance of various industrial minerals for the country''s economic development. The publication aims to disseminate current knowledge and …
2024123· In Ethiopia during the Mesozoic era, some of the most important sedimentary rocks formed include sandstone, limestone, shale, and conglomerate. The Mesozoic era encompasses three geological periods: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous, each with its dominant lithologies due to varying environmental conditions and geological processes. Understanding …
The geological excursion undertaken in Ethiopia explored the Mesozoic sediments of the Abay Basin, recent volcanics of the Ethiopian Main Rift, and Basement Rocks of the Adola Region. The study included detailed examinations of stratigraphy, rock formations, and economic deposits in each region visited, highlighting the geological diversity and mineral potential of Ethiopia. This …

16· The major rock types on the basis of chemical and mineralogical composition of Ethiopia include the Precambrian metamorphic rocks with associated plutonic igneous rocks which form the basement, the Paleozoic-to-Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, Cenozoic basic and felsic volcanic rocks with intercalated sedimentary rocks.
This reconnaissance report summarizes a study of limestone deposits near Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia that could be suitable for aggregate production. GPS coordinates were collected for 8 points delineating an area of 36,801 square meters with potential limestone reserves. The climate is dry from October to May and wet from June to August. Topography is rugged with …
