摘要

The present paper reports thecharacterization of gold ore from Tanggamus mine Lampung Province bychemical and geological analysis.The presence high content of Fe and S indicated that the ore issulfides which is form as pyrite crystal confirmed by XRD and SEM analysis. Auas trace element detected by fire assay and wet analysis comprises of 4 ppm in an amount. It is not yet clear that the existence of Au with minor of amount, merelythe possibility Au associated with pyrite or quartz matricesas micro inclusion.The gold ore is classified as refractories ore.
