Bauxite is a rock or soil formation that is composed primarily of aluminium hydroxide minerals. Bauxite consists primarily of a mixture of aluminium hydroxides. Gibbsite, boehmite and to a lesser extent, diaspore are the main aluminous minerals. Other components, deleterious to alumina production, are clay (mainly kaolinite), iron oxides, quartz, titanium oxide, water and a variety of other minerals (Lozej, 1993). The area of the bauxite lies in the Kuantan in the state of Pahang. The famous area of bauxites at the Bukit Goh, Indera Mahkota and Semambu. This study is to determine the the geochemistry properties of the mineral that contain in the bauxite. An investigation was carried out at three different site which are at Bukit Goh, Indera Mahkota and Semambu. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) test was carried out in order to determine the geochemistry properties of the mineral that contain in the bauxite at Kuantan. The major element that obtained from x-ray fluorescence test are aluminium (20.5843-25.5384%), iron (15.3052-21.7137%) and silica oxide (9.0746-15.6503%).
