Petrology of weathering materials developed on granites in Biou area, North-Cameroon: implication for rare-earth elements (REE) exploration in semi-arid regions

Due to the increasing demand resulting from the use of REE in many fields of human life, a weathering profile developed on granites in the semi-arid region of Biou area (North-Cameroon) has been characterized for rare-earth elements (REE) exploration. The mineralogical compositions of weathered mate...
