Mining industry in Nigeria provides economic benefits of wealth creation and employment opportunities. However the industry is associated a number of negative challenges among which is the health impact of miners and surrounding communities arising from mining processes. In this study Xrf analytical techniques was used to determined the concentration of Pb, As and Zn in soil around Ririwai Tin mine Kano state Nigeria. The results shows that the mean concentrations of Pb, As and Zn were 113.54±3.92, 6.76±0.34 and 216.89±5.74mg/kg respectively. Zn have the highest concentration across all location followed by Pb while As have the lowest concentrations. The concentrations of Zn and As in the study area were within the worldwide range values in soil of 50-250mg/kg and 1-50mg/kg reported by USEPA for Zn and As respectively. Pb have very high concentration when compared with worldwide average value of 10mg/kg reported by USEPA. Suggesting that there is high deposits of Pb in the area. Therefore all means of ingesting of soil by human and animal around the area should be avoided because of the elevated concentration and the toxicity of Pb.
