Geology of Kg Kuala Betis and potential of gold deposits using heavy metals concentration

Geological setting of Kuala Betis area give indication for gold deposition to occur. The study was conducted at Kg Kuala Betis, Gua Musang which covers 25km² within coordinate of ( E101°47’2.306’’, N4°55’42.643’’), (E101°49’45.044’’, N4°55’43.337’’), ( E101°49’45.726’’, N4°53’1.671’’),( E101°47’0.916’’, N4°53’1.881’’). This research was conducted to produce geological map in the scale of 1:25 000 using Arcmap 10.2 software and determine the concentration of heavy metals of Mg, Zn, Fe, Pb and Cu at Kg Kuala Betis. The geomorphologic analysis is done classify the landform according to the drainage pattern, topography and slope angle analysis of study area. The lithology of study area consist of metasedimentary rock which is slate, tuff and granite rock according from older to younger. Geological mapping and geochemical mapping were done to produce geological map and anomaly map of heavy metal in Kg Kuala Betis. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) analysis was done to measure heavy metals concentration from 7 different location of soil sampling. Using the geological data from geological mapping, the stratigraphy, structural geology, geomorphology and petrology of study area were analysed. Overlying all this data, this research will indicate the potential area for gold deposit using heavy metal analysis.
