From four different locations in Sudan namely, Aboharaz (Central Sudan), Port – Sudan (Eastern Sudan) , Algaab (Western Sudan) and Ombal (Southern Sudan) three quartz rocks samples from each location were collected; All samples were analyzed to determine the concentration of Gold (Au(III)), Iron (Fe (III) and Sulphate(SO₄^-2). Atomic absorption spectrometry technique was used to determine the concentrations of Gold and Iron ,while that of Sulphate has been determined by the use of spectrometry technique. All samples showed positive correlation between gold and sulphate concentration except those collected from Port – Sudan, in addition a negative correlation between gold and iron concentration has been observed in all samples.
