The concentrations of trace elements (K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn) from different soil samples collected around propose Uranium mining KP Mawthabah (Domiasiat) located in high rainfall area were investigated with Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence technique. Among the physical parameters pH, moisture contents, organic matter and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) in soil indicated mild acidic to slightly alkaline nature of the soil and low water retention capacity. Depleted concentration of mono and divalent trace elements was observed when compared to the world average soil value.
