Abstract
Artisanal and small gold mining activity in Wonogiri Regency has long been done and gives the benefit of
the people’s economic support, but this activity has the potential to decrease the quality of the environment. This study
was aimed to analyze the levels and spatial distribution of heavy metals in the mining area. Survey of mining and
amalgamation sites, sampling the soil and tailings had been conducted. There were 66 samples of soil and tailing were
collected, analysis of heavy Fe, Mn, Pb, Hg, As and Co, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Normal distribution test of
data was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilk. The spatial distribution of heavy metals was
described using Krigging method. Contents of most heavy metals in the area studied were high, except for Co. According
to the distribution pattern of heavy metals indicated that the contamination caused by the mining.
Key words: Artisanal mining, gold, heavy metals
