What is it about?
This research reviews the geology, petrogenesis, compositional trends and geochronology of the rare-metal pegmatite of southwestern Nigeria. The source of these pegmatites is still presently debated which have been explained as either product of highly fractionated molten material or anatexis of the local crust. However, published works of past authors have been compiled to give a detailed understanding of the formation of the mineral deposits.

Why is it important?
This work reviews the geology, petrogenesis and compositional styles as well as temporal and spatial relationships between the rare-metal mineralization and associated granitic pegmatite in the south-west part of Nigeria using published works of past authors to further constraint the formation of the deposits within the framework of the regional geological and tectonic setting
