Jean-Baptiste Zoungrana , Brahima Sorgho , Corneille Bakouan , Saga Sawadogo , Regie Dimanche Ouedraogo , Boubié Guel, Philippe Blanchart
Phosphorites from the Kodjari deposits of Burkina Faso are composite rocks with a fine-grained matrix phase and
dispersed larger grains. Chemical analysis by XRF revealed a CaO content of 35.98 – 41.33 wt% and a P2O5
content of 26.85 – 30.75 wt%. X-ray diffraction patterns show the abundant presence of carbonate-fluorapatit(...)

Hydrochemical Characterisation of Groundwaters in a Crystalline Basement Environment: The Case of Fractured Aquifers in the Poni Watershed in the South-West Region of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hebie, A., Kafando, S., & Nakolendousse, S
The Poni watershed is located in the south-west of Burkina Faso. Its geology is made up of fractured crystalline and crystallophyllian basement, where fractured aquifers are the most exploited for water needs. The aim of this study is to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of the groundwater in the fractured aquifers of the Poni wat(...)

Landform-regolith Map of the Central Goren Greenstone Belt, Burkina Faso
Benjamin Sawadogo ; Dominique Chardon ; Ousmane Bamba
The map is based on extensive fieldwork and complementary photo-interpretation. Field mapping was undertaken at 1:10 000 scale on the basis of a Lidar digital elevation model converted into topographic sheets with 1-m contours. Coverage of the study area required 60 days of fieldwork during the years 2017 and 2018. Around 300 km of itinerary w(...)

Fertilité des intrusions dans les porphyres cuprifères Paléoprotérozoïques de la ceinture de roches vertes Birimienne de Boromo, Burkina Faso, Craton Ouest Africain
Aristide BELEMSOBGO, Wendkouni Passecdé Pauline ZONGO, Urbain WENMENGA, Seta NABA
Le gisement de Cuivre-Or de Diénéméra-Gongondy est affilié à des porphyres cuprifères paléoprotérozoïques associés à la ceinture de roches vertes birimiennes de Boromo. La minéralisation est en relation avec un complexe intrusif basique à intermédiaire. La présente étude met en évidence le caractère fertile ou non de l’encaissant dans un envir(...)

Structural Controls of the Expansion of Small‐Scale Artisanal Gold of Bouda Area (Kaya‐Goren Green Belt, Burkina Faso) From Remote Sensing
R. A. I. Dao , H. Ilboudo , and D. Baratoux
Small‐scale artisanal mining is a vital sector of the economy of Burkina Faso. This activity, correctly regulated, remains essential for the population despite security issues since 2015. Exploration of new areas for gold mining in this condition is difficult but essential to continue extractive activities. It is, therefore, important to defin(...)

Caractérisation des processus orogéniques tardi-éburnéen par les mécanismes de mise en place des plutons alcalins de Wayen et de Déou
Abraham Seydoux TRAORE, Hermann ILBOUDO, Adama Ouédraogo YAMEOGO, Sâga SAWADOGO, Séta NABA
La structure et le contexte géodynamique de mise en place des granites alcalins ont été très peu étudiés.
Ces structures sont pourtant importantes pour interpréter les mécanismes de mise en place et déduire le régime tectonique qui a prévalu à la fin de l’orogénèse éburnéenne (actif ou inactif). L‘objectif de ce travail est d’utiliser la méth(...)

Insight from Lithostructural and Aeromagnetic Data from the Léo Square Degree, Central-Western Burkina Faso
Adama Ouédraogo Yameogo, Pascal Ouiya, Gounwendmanaghré Hubert Zongo, Omar Akonyiré, Abraham Seydoux Traore, Saga Sawadogo et Séta Naba
This study, carried out in the Léo square degree (west-central Burkina Faso) in the Palaeoproterozoic domain of the Man/Léo ridge, aims to define the shapes and positions of granitic plutons and the organisation of deformation
structures using aeromagnetic data. These data have shown that there are small sub-circular granitic bodi(...)

Morpho-pédologie et essai de classification des sols développés sur roches dolomitiques dans le bassin de Taoudéni au Burkina Faso
Fidèle KABORE, Boussa Tockville MARE, Joachim OUEDRAOGO, Idriss SERME, Prosper N. ZOMBRE
Les roches carbonatées ont été reconnues en régions tempéré et méditerranéenne comme des roches mères de sols calcimagnésiques et Fersialitiques. Les formations carbonatées du Burkina Faso en région tropicale, dominées par des dolomies magnésiennes, influent sur la pédogenèse des sols environnants. Ce qui laisse penser à une probable existence(...)

Soil Properties and Tomato Productivity Improvement by Use of Polyter and Turbo-Bio in Sudanese Zone of Burkina Faso
OUEDROGO Harouna, HIEN Edmond, COULIBALY Alou and DIALLO Yacouba
In Burkina Faso, vegetable production is challenged by low soil fertility and unavailability of irrigation water associated with numerous dry sequences. The study's objective is to apprehend the performance of polyter and turbo-bio on soil and tomato productivity. A trial was set up, in a controlled environment and in vegetation vases, accordi(...)
