Eko remaja BM-179 uranilJll ore processing conducted by BATAN to obtain U30S seems to be inefficient because at leaching state, it consumpts H2SO4 125 kg per ton ore. There is no information about the efforts of mineral sulfide employing at BM-179 ore to support uranium processing. The purpose of the study was the efforts to employ of mineral sulfide at ore's low uranium to produce H2SO4 using contact process, which it would be, used at leaching state of Eko remaja BM-179 uranium ore processing Kaian-Kalbar. Magnetic separator, flotation, knelson concentrator and shake table could conduct the enrichment of sulfide minerals. The study reveals that magnetic separator method and flotation methods increased sulfur content significantJy. Magnetic separator succeed to increase sulfur content to 9.58 times from sulfur's initial and produce 28.44 % H2SO4, while the flotation method increased sulfur's content to 4.71 times from sulfurs initial and produce 22.19 % H2SO4.
