Agunjin lies in the Northeastern part of Kwara State, Nigeria. The study area is largely underlain by the basement complex rocks of Northeastern Nigeria. Some parts of the area had been investigated in terms of mineral deposits but stream sediment mineral potentials of the area are unknown. Eight (8) stream sediment samples were selected for the study. The stream sediments were analyzed for major, and trace elemental concentration using the ICP-MS analytical method. The results of the geochemical analyses were later subjected to statistical analysis. The results revealed that Iron (Fe) has the highest concentration in major elements, Phosphorus (P), Antimony (Sb), Sulphide (S), and Rubidium (Rb) in trace elements. The conclusion drawn from the geochemical revealed that the mineralization of the underlying lithologies led to anomalous enrichment of Iron, Phosphorous, Rubidium, and Antimony rich minerals in the area. The high concentrations of Phosphorus (P), Sulphide (S), Antiomny (Sb), and Rubudium (Rb), indicate the possible mineralization of apatite, Platinum, Pyrite, Carnallite, Pollucite, and Stibnite respectively.
