The hydrogeochemistry due to mining activities and naturalmineralized processes present some differences whose comparison can indicate a good understanding of theinfluence of mining on the environment. This ongoing study aims at the hydrogeochemistry of toxic metals in the Au-As-Hg-Tl metallogenicbelt of Huijiabao anticline in southwest Guizhou, China. The presently-mined Lanmuchang mercury-thallium deposit with a Hg-mining history of about 350 years containing one of the world’s highest concentration of thallium and the to-be-mined Yanshang gold deposit enriching high concentration of toxic metals have been chosen to study the hydrogeochemistry of toxic metals. The groundwater samples werecollected from the shallow aquifer in terms of spring, domestic well and karstic cave whereas the surfacewater was only sampled downside the surface drainage leaching the mine waste at Lanmuchang.
