Abstract: The Heavy mineral analysis of the beach sediment is one of the finest ways to interpret the presence of the placer deposits in the coast. The point counting method is a widely used technique, which is employed for the quantitative analysis of heavy minerals. Nevertheless, this method is not applicable in case of large scale volumetric or spatial investigations as the surficial sediments occupy an inaccurate space due to its irregular grain size. Therefore, porosity is an important feature that has to be considered for the analyzing the quantitative distribution of the placer minerals present in the surface sediments. This paper highlights the effect of porosity in the heavy mineral distribution with respect to the grain size. The outcome from this research helps to enhance the results in quantitative analysis of heavy minerals.
