“…From the analytical result of major element concentration, SiO 2 has the highest percentages in the pegmatite samples while P 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , K 2 O, Na 2 O, CaO and MnO are relatively low, in the same vein MnO (0.01-0.23%), TiO 2 (0.01-0.69%), P 2 O 5 (0.02-0.23%) values are generally low (Tables 2 and 4). Mean contents of major oxides, Al 2 O 3 (14.34% ), Na 2 O (3.31%), Fe 2 O 3 ( 2.61%), CaO (1.63%), and K 2 O (4.80%) for the Apomu pegmatites compare favorably with the Ipetu Ijesha barren pegmatites , Kafin Maiyaki barren pegmatites and Ago-Iwoye barren pegmatites ( Elueze, 1982;Garba, 2003;Okunlola, 2005;Akintola et al, 2011). Trace and rare earth element data (Tables 3, 5 and 6) show that the following trace element Rb (540.1ppm), Cs (11.3ppm), Nb (26.6ppm), Ta (3.8ppm), Be (6.0ppm), Th (19.9ppm), Hf (8.3ppm), Y(108.9ppm), Sn (9.0ppm), Sr (531.7ppm) for the whole rock pegmatite samples of Apomu area has values that are significantly lower than the averages for the rare metal pegmatites of Ijero-Aramoko-Ara, Kushaka-Birni Gwari, Oke-Ogun, Isanlu-Egbe and Share but are comparable to the Ilesha barren pegmatites (Elueze, 1982;Okunlola, 2005) , Nasarawa-Kafin-Maiyaki barren pegmatites (Garba, 2003) and Ago-Iwoye barren Pegmatites (Akintola et al, 2011).…”
