In Indonesia, the availability of ETL has not become a major focus, both by the state and the community as a whole, even though the mineral is an important raw material that can be used in developing advanced technology. Minerals containing land rarely often exist as related minerals in major commodities, especially in gold and tin deposits; These minerals can be cultivated as a by-product that can provide added value to potential resources. This research was conducted in seven areas of Belitung Island located in Bangka Belitung Province.
