The study area is located in Dabong. Dabong was in the small town at the area Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Dabong was situated at the north east of Malaysia and it the second largest district after the Gua Musang, Kelantan, Malaysia. The area covered by Dabong is 1,506.90 km2. The study area covered in Dabong approximately 25km2. The topography of Kuala Krai is a lowland type. This area is not fully discovered yet by the geologist. The Dabong area was famous by it geologic features because of metamorphic and igneous features that were occurred. The coordinate of the study area is from N 5⁰32’30’’, E 101⁰52’00” to N5⁰ 30’00’’, E 101⁰ 52’00’’ and N5⁰ 32’30’’, E 101⁰34’35” to N5⁰30’00”, E 101⁰54’35”. The objective of this study are to update the geological map of the study area at 1:25000 scale to determine the trace elements and heavy metals in the study area. Such elements such as cadmium, copper, mangan, plumbum and zinc were identified to be present in the study area based on the previous researchers. The study area consist of three types of rocks based on the data observation. They are granite, granodiorite and shale.
