【 摘 要 】

The measurement of magnetic susceptibility and the content of gold (Au) on sediments in the Bombana Gold Mining Area (BGMA) has been done. The samples analyzed totaled 121 samples. The magnetic susceptibility values was measured using Low Field MS2B Bartington Susceptibility meter, while the contents of gold (Au) was measured using X-Ray Nitton. Generally, the lower the value of magnetic susceptibility, contents of gold (Au) on the sediment is higher. Based on this result, the magnetic susceptibility can be used as one of the parameters and/or the alternative methods on the exploration of gold in BGMA.
