Abstract

DOI:10.17014/ijog.2.3.167-184Strong mineralized carbonate rock-bearing Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-(Au) ores are well exposed on the Latong River area, Madina Regency, North Sumatra Province. The ore deposit is hosted within the carbonate rocks of the Permian to Carboniferous Tapanuli Group. It is mainly accumulated in hollows replacing limestone in the forms of lensoidal, colloform, veins, veinlets, cavity filling, breccia, and dissemination. The ores dominantly consist of galena (126 000 ppm Pb) and sphalerite (2347 ppm Zn). The other minerals are silver, azurite, covellite, pyrite, marcasite, and chalcopyrite. This deposit was formed by at least three phases of mineralization, i.e. pyrite and then galena replaced pyrite, sphalerite replaced galena, and pyrite. The last phase is the deposition of chalcopyrite that replaced sphalerite. The Latong sulfide ore deposits posses Pb isotope ratio of 206Pb/204Pb = 19.16 - 20.72, 207Pb/204Pb = 16.16 - 17.29, and 208Pb/204Pb = 42.92 - 40.78. The characteristic feature of the deposit indicates that it is formed by a sedimentary process rather than an igneous activity in origin. This leads to an interpretation that the Latong deposit belongs to the Sedimentary Hosted Massive Sulfide (SHMS) of Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT). The presence of SHMS in the island arc such as Sumatra has become controversial. For a long time, ore deposits in the Indonesian Island Arc are always identical with the porphyry and hydrothermal processes related to arc magmatism. This paper is dealing with the geology of Latong and its base metal deposits. This work is also to interpret their genesis as well as general relationship to the regional geology and tectonic setting of Sumatra.

Abstract

The Arai Granite exposed in the Jangkat District, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra. This rock which is in the form of a stock, is assigned to be Cretaceous in age. Petrographical identification shows that this rock is dominated by quartz, feldspar (plagioclase and orthoclase), biotite with minor hornblende, pyroxene and secondary muscovite of holocrystalline- equigranular textures. On the basis of A/CNK ratio (<1.1), the Arai granite belongs to metaluminous type of calc-alkali composition (K2O/Na2O = 0.9-1.06). The Plot of trace elements indicates that this rock belongs to I-type and falls within VAG/SYNCOLG. This granite is intimately associated with subduction of Indian Ocean and Eurasian Plates. It is characterized by strong depletion of Nb, P and Ti significantly. The Arai granite intrudes the Rawas and Peneta Formations of older ages so that lithology of both formations experienced contact metamorphism (marble and hornfels) and mineralization. The presence of iron ore, Zn-Cu-Pb and gold deposits is closely associated with limestone replacement within those formations. Therefore, these deposits are classified into skarn style.Keywords: Arai granite, pluton, Rawas Formation, Peneta Formation, mineralisation, skarn
