This multi-disciplinary publication was initiated in 1963, and to 1965 titled the Journal of the Nigerian Mining Geological and Metallurgical Society. Its current title, Journal of Mining and Geology adopted from the edition for 1966, was modified between 1982 and 1987, as the Nigerian Journal of Mining and Geology. The production of the Journal is normally biannual (2 issues per volume) in March and September; and from Volume 35 No.1 1999, has being under the aegis of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).
