Activity Summary

One other mining industry is characterized by its nature that changes landscapes and environmental hue. Sering with the discovery of the location of the Gold Prospect, there is also an increase in mining activities both carried out legally by the company, cooperatives and mining activities without permits that are usually managed independently by the local community. Likewise with West Java, one of the provinces included the prospect of gold-valuable metals. One of the local mining locations whose activities have been carried out since decades last year in West Java is the prospect of cinam, Tasikmalaya. Metal minerals present are gold and several metal bases. Gold content Found ranging from 6�15 gr / tons of AU. Thick vein of several cm�60 cm, locally it can reach up to 1 m thick. Genetically, these deposits have interesting characteristics, namely the presence of minerals. In the past, to separate gold to the minerals, the amalgamation process was carried out, which caused environmental pollution. The amalgamation process is a gold ore processing carried out by liquid mercury, which indeed in many studies shows a fairly dangerous result in its application in the field. Currently to minimize the impact of amalgamation using mercury, processing Gold also uses the HEP LEACHING method. Although the Heap Leach processing technique is referred to as one of the effective, efficient, low-cost, and more environmentally friendly gold processing techniques compared to processing with amalgamation, but in practice this processing technique requires strict supervision and accompanied by post-processing activities to be able to reduce the danger of waste resulting from. Therefore the main objective of this activity is to monitor the affected area of ​​mining and environmental management in the Kineam Regional People's Mine.
