A total of 2500 samples were collected, along the streams, the intermittent streams and near springs, the fixed sampling interval of 450 m was paced. Sampling was done at an average density of 1 sample per 0.4 km2 and analysed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn |
HNO3 |
atomic absorption (AAS) |
| U |
HNO3 |
