Cassiterite (SnO 2 ) is a mineral carrying element of tin (Sn) and other associated minerals of economic value. Mining activities need to go through several analyze including those related to environmental impacts regardless of primary and secondary sediment conditions. In this reseacrh, twenty-six data samples were took around Sambunggiri Hill, Jurung Village, Merawang District, Bangka Regency. The data were test using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) in a laboratory. There are two types of elements will be taken, they are Tin, (Sn) and Zircon (Zr), as well as one other type of related mineral is Hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ). In this research, we use spatial analysis to estimate patterns of distribution of mineral content. The spherical model can apply to describe the spatial relationship between location pairs based on Hematite, Tin and Zircon. The pattern of minerals distribution mostly found to the east of Sambunggiri Hill. The estimated distribution pattern of Cassiterite minerals can provide an overview of mining activities that can prevent environmental damage. So that environmental damage caused by mining activities can be minimized and raise awareness to maintain a sustainable environment. A good mining concept will have a positive impact on the surrounding environment.
