Intense chemical weathering in tropical environments poses challenges for conventional geochemical exploration, as primary lithological signatures become heavily altered. Stream sediment geochemistry provides a robust alternative for detecting anomalous geochemical patterns under these conditions. In this study, 636 stream sediment samples and 15 rock samples were evaluated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Median + 2 Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), and Concentration–Area (C–A) fractal modeling to identify potential anomaly zones. These results were compared with the traditional Mean plus 2 Standard Deviation (SD) approach. The findings indicated that Mean + 2SD offers a conservative threshold but overlooks anomalies in heterogeneous datasets, while Median + 2MAD provides robustness against outliers. The C-A fractal model effectively characterizes low- and high-order anomalies by capturing multiscale variability. Elements such as Au–Ag–Hg–Se–Sb–As form a system indicating low- to intermediate-sulphated epithermal mineralization. Au–Pb points to polymetallic hydrothermal mineralization along intrusive contacts. The southern region is a primary mineralization center controlled by an intrusive–volcanic boundary, whereas the east and west areas exhibit secondary mineralization, characterized by altered lava breccia. The correlation between shallow epithermal and deeper intrusive-related porphyry systems, especially regarding Au–Ag, offers new insights into the metallogenic landscape of the Sunda–Banda arc. Beyond regional significance, this research presents a geostatistical workflow designed to mitigate exploration uncertainty in geochemically complex zones, providing a structured approach applicable to volcanic-arc mineralized provinces worldwide.
