Abstract: Glamorous measures and mineralogical and geochemical studies were carried out on face soil samples in order to delineate vulnerability distribution and to find possible connections grounded on paleomagnetic counteraccusations in some parts of Kalambaina Area of Sokoto Northwestern Nigeria. Geomorphologically, this area is generally gentle, with sometimes irregular, limited by resistance laterites. Elevation generally decreases towards the northwest around the Nigeria- Niger Republic lessee with an average elevation of about 215 above mean ocean position. An aggregate of 90 samples was measured at arbitrary with DSM -10 vulnerability Kappa meter as well 20 core drilling samples were collected for further XRF geochemical analysis. Mass-specific vulnerability value ranges between 11.2 × 10 and 1.4 − 8.2 × 10 and glamorous remanence at 1 values range between 10 × 10 and 0.5 − 9.0 × 10 as well as 0.5 − 7.4 × 10. Chemical analysis by Xray luminescence analysis revealed the presence attention of colorful rudiments with their chance composition() and the chance composition of calcium carbonate content between> 40 and< 70,> 70 and< 80, core drilling depth and overload consistency of a limestone Subcaste and Overburden. Has also revealed low- and high-grade calcium carbonate content.
