Abstract

The Tumpangpitu high sulfidation (HS) epithermal gold deposit is located in the south coast of East Java, Banyuwangi District, East Java Province, Indonesia. This area lies within the central portion of the Cenozoic Sunda‐Banda magmatic arc which trends southeast from northern Sumatra to west Java then eastward through east Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and terminating at Banda sea. The geology of the Tumpangpitu is predominantly occupied by Late Oligocene to Middle Miocene low-K calc-alkaline to alkaline andesitic volcanic rocks and interbedded with volcaniclastic rock sequences, which are associated with low-K intermediate intrusions. The mineralization style at the Tumpangpitu area is composed of a high‐sulfidation (HS) epithermal gold-copper system which is typically associated with concealed gold-rich porphyry copper system. The HS epithermal mineralization is hosted by volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks in this research area. The mineralization domains are divided into Zone A, Zone B and Zone C which are situated along NW-SE-trending silica ledges zones. The HS epithermal mineralization is texturally occurs as vuggy replacements mineralization as well as stockworks, disseminated forms, fractures and veins. Fluid inclusion study was conducted for 6 quartz vein samples which petrographically entrapped fluid inclusions. Homogenization temperature (Th) and melting temperature (Tm) can microthermometrically be determined by fluid inclusion analysis. The average homogenization temperature (Th) of the fluid inclusions gives 180˚C to 342˚C and melting temperature are from -0.1 ˚C to -1.4˚C. Tm corresponds to the salinities ranging from 0.1 to 4.5 wt% NaCl equivalent. The paleodepth of ore formation can be estimated from the salinity of fluid. Since the deposit was not formed at boiling condition, the minimum paleodepth of ore (quartz) samples taken from both shallow level (53.35 m) and deep level (135.15 m) is determined at 650m and 1,220 m, respectively. The microthermometric data point out that the Tumpangpitu deposit formed at moderate temperature and low salinity by magmatic fluid mixing and dilution by meteoric water during the hydrothermal fluid evolution. On the basis of the fluid inclusion microthermometric data and its other key characteristics, the Tumpangpitu gold mineralization shares some similarities compared to other typical HS-epithermal gold deposits worlwide although it also shares few differences.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.5.2.179-197A geochemical study was carried out to determine the geochemical characteristics of limestone in Wonosari-Punung Formation, and to suggest its depositional conditions and the source of rare earth elements. The study was conducted at Ponjong Area, Gunungkidul Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. White limestone which contains more abundant calcite is characterized by the highest CaO concentration. Red limestone which is associated with impure minerals such as siderite, rodochrosite, hematite, and titanite is typified by depleted CaO but higher SiO2, Fe2O3, MnO, and TiO2 concentrations. Grey limestone characterized by depleted CaO and higher MnO contents is considered to be influenced by the presence of impure minerals of manganite (Mn2O3.H2O) and/or pyrolusite (MnO2). Depletion of Sr concentration in the coloured limestone indicates that the diagenetic process increases from the white limestone to the coloured limestone. The process possibly occurred post-deposition of the limestones. The limestones show positive Mn* values (2.46 - 2.95) and authigenic U values (0.89 - 3.38) that suggest an oxidative environment. The Ce/Ce* values (0.57 - 0.80), Eu/Eu* values (1.04 - 1.88), high Y/Ho ratio, and low LaN/YbN ratio are indications that the rare earth elements in the limestones were derived from terrigenous materials. The positive Eu anomaly and enrichment of Cr and Mn of the limestones are indications of hydrothermal fluid activity taking place in the studied area. Based on the geochemical characteristics of the Punung-Wonosari limestones, the depositional environment and the source of rare earth elements of the limestones were therefore influenced by a combination of hydrothermal fluid activity with small amount of terrigenous material input and post depositional diagenetic process.

Abstract

The Cisuru area is located in Talegong Sub-district, Garut Regency, West Java, Indonesia which is belongs to the central part of Southern Mountain Slope. The aim of this research is to understand the nature and characteristic of fluid inclusion from quartz veins (especially drill core samples) in the study area. Rock units in the area are characterized by Tertiary volcanic rocks and volcaniclastic sequence which is mainly composed of andesite, andesitic breccia, volcanic breccia, lapilli tuff, dacite and related to the intrusion of diorite. The Cisuru epithermal mineralization is dominantly hosted by andesite, dacite, breccia and lapilli tuff, and would probably be controlled by both permeable rocks and NS and NE-SW trending strike-slip faults. The mineralization is shown as void filling and replacement within the silica zone, veinlets along with the open space/fractures and dissemination. Fluid inclusion from quartz veins was studied to know nature, characteristics and origin of hydrothermal fluids. Microthermometric measurements of fluid inclusions were realized by using a Linkam THMSG 600 combined freezing and heating stages. Homogenization temperature and final ice melting temperature were measured for primary two-phase inclusion from quartz veins. Base on the study of the fluid inclusion, the value of homogenization temperature (Th) range from 200 ºC to 395 °C and ice melting temperature range from -0.1 to - 4.5 where salinity range from 0.2 to 7.2 wt. % NaCl equivalent. Fluid inclusion petrography and microthermometric measurement data exhibit that fluid mixing, dilution and boiling were main processes during the hydrothermal evolution. The formation temperature of each quartz vein is 260 ºC to 290 ºC and also their formation depth is estimated between 560m to 925m respectively. Combination of fluid inclusions petrography, microthermometric measurement, and estimate paleo depth from Cisuru area were suggested under the epithermal environment.

Abstract

Sulawesi Tenggara memiliki potensi marmer terbesar di Indonesia. Salah satu daerah potensi marmer di Sulawesi Tenggara adalah Mata Wawatu dan Sanggula, Kecamatan Moramo Utara Kabupaten Konawe Selatan. Namun belum ada penelitian rinci mengenai karakteristik marmer yang ada di daerah ini. Karakteristik marmer di daerah penelitian yaitu berwarna abu – abu dengan struktur non foliasi dan tekstur lensa atau augen texture. Secara petrografi, mineral penyusun marmer didominasi dengan ukuran kristal ≤ 0.1 – 1 mm, yaitu mineral kalsit, dolomit, kuarsa, hematit, dan mineral opak. Marmer daerah penelitian memberikan kenampakan tekstur yang bervariasi, yaitu tekstur subidioblastik dan xenoblastik (berdasarkan bentuk individu Kristal), tekstur kristaloblastik (berdasarkan ketahanan terhadap metamorfismenya), tekstur nematoblastik dan granuloblastik (berdasarkan bentuk mineralnya), dan saccaroidal texture dan mortar texture (berdasarkan tekstur khususnya). Sifat keteknikan marmer memberikan nilai yang bervariasi, di mana nilai kuat tekan sebesar 235.718 kg/cm2 – 389.338 kg/cm2, nilai ketahanan aus sebesar 0,0414 mm/menit – 0,0498 mm/menit, dan nilai serapan air sebesar 0,275 % - 0,763 %.  CaO merupakan senyawa yang paling melimpah pada marmer dengan kelimpahan 50,44 % - 55,90 %. Berdasarkan sifat keteknikannya, marmer di daerah penelitian dapat direkomendasikan sebagai batu hias / batu tempel. Berdasarkan spesifikasi senyawa oksida utamanya, marmer bagian timur laut daerah penelitian direkomendasikan untuk industri kertas, pewarna tekstil, penyaringan gula, dan produksi semen sedangkan marmer bagian barat daya daerah penelitian kurang dapat dimanfaatkan. Southeast Sulawesi has the greatest marble potential in Indonesia. One of the marble potential areas in the Southeast Sulawesi is Mata Wawatu and Sanggula, North Moramo District of the South Konawe Regency. However, there is no detailed research on marble characteristics in this area. The marble characteristics in the study area are grey with non-foliation structures and lens texture or augen texture. Petrographically, constituent minerals of the marble are dominated by crystal size ≤ 0.1 - 1 mm which are calcite, dolomite, quartz, hematite, and opaque minerals. The research area's marble provides varied texture features, namely subidobobastic and xenoblastic textures (based on individual form crystals), crystalloblastic textures (based on resistance to metamorphism), nematoblastic and granuloblastic textures (based on their mineral form), and saccharoidal texture and mortar texture (based on texture in particular). The properties of marble engineering give varying values, where the compressive strength value is 235.718 kg / cm2 – 389.338 kg / cm2, the wear resistance value is 0.0414 mm / min - 0.0498 mm / min, and the water absorption value is 0.275% - 0.763%. CaO is the most abundant compound on marble with an abundance of 50.44 - 55.90 wt. %. Based on its engineering properties, marble in the research area can be recommended as an ornamental stone. Based on the specification of the main oxide compound, the northeastern marble of the research area are recommended for the paper industry, textile dyes, sugar screening, and cement production whereas the southwestern marble of the research area is less utilizable.

Abstract

Batugamping berwarna merah yang tersebar secara setempat-setempat dan berasosiasi dengan batugamping berwarna putih hingga abu-abu yang dijumpai di Daerah Ponjong, Kabupaten Gunungkidul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, termasuk dalam Formasi Wonosari-Punung. Batugamping tersebut perlu diteliti karakteristik mineralogi dan geokimianya, yang sangat diperlukan dalam memahami genesa batugamping di daerah tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menambah data khususnya batugamping di daerah penelitian maupun Formasi Wonosari-Punung di daerah Pegunungan Selatan. Pengamatan petrografi dan XRD pada batugamping merah menunjukkan hadirnya mineral kalsit, kuarsa, siderit, hematit, dan titanit. Analisis geokimia oksida mayor batugamping merah memperlihatkan tren pengkayaan senyawa SiO2, TiO2, Fe2O3 dan MnO yang diinterpretasikan berhubungan dengan kehadiran mineral-mineral titanit (CaTiSiO5), siderit (FeCO3), hematit (Fe2O3), dan diduga rodokrosit (MnCO3). Mineral-mineral tersebut mempunyai karakteristik warna coklat kekuningan, merah muda sampai merah sehingga dimungkinkan dapat memberikan warna merah pada batugamping. Ada tiga proses yang diinterpretasi berperan dalam genesa batugamping merah Ponjong yaitu pengaruh material terigenus yang mengandung oksida SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, dan TiO2 saat pengendapan batugamping, proses diagenesis oleh air meterorik yang mengkayakan senyawa Fe2O3 dan proses bekerjanya larutan hidrotermal.Red limestone, which is sporadically distributed and associated with white to grey limestone is located in Ponjong area, Gunungkidul District, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. This limestone belongs to the member of Wonosari-Punung Formation. It is necessary to study the mineralogy and geochemistry chracteristics, which are important in understanding the genesis of the limestone. The result of this study might add the geological data for limestone in this study area and Wonosari-Punung Formation as well. The petrographical observation and X-ray diffraction results of red limestone indicated the presence of calcite, quartz, siderite, hematite and titanite. Major element analysis of the red limestone showed enrichment of SiO2, TiO2, Fe2O3 and MnO, which have considered to have relation to the presence of titanite (CaTiSiO5), siderite (FeCO3), hematite (Fe2O3), and rhodochrosite (MnCO3) in the red limestone. The minerals are typically yellowish brown, pink to red in colour, and are therefore interpreted to be responsible in giving red colour of the limestone. There are three processes that are considered in the genesis of the Ponjong red limestone, which are: impact of terrigenous material when deposition of the limestone, diagenesis process of meteoric water that enriched Fe2O3, and processof hidrotermal fluid activity.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.5.2.179-197A geochemical study was carried out to determine the geochemical characteristics of limestone in Wonosari-Punung Formation, and to suggest its depositional conditions and the source of rare earth elements. The study was conducted at Ponjong Area, Gunungkidul Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. White limestone which contains more abundant calcite is characterized by the highest CaO concentration. Red limestone which is associated with impure minerals such as siderite, rodochrosite, hematite, and titanite is typified by depleted CaO but higher SiO2, Fe2O3, MnO, and TiO2 concentrations. Grey limestone characterized by depleted CaO and higher MnO contents is considered to be influenced by the presence of impure minerals of manganite (Mn2O3.H2O) and/or pyrolusite (MnO2). Depletion of Sr concentration in the coloured limestone indicates that the diagenetic process increases from the white limestone to the coloured limestone. The process possibly occurred post-deposition of the limestones. The limestones show positive Mn* values (2.46 - 2.95) and authigenic U values (0.89 - 3.38) that suggest an oxidative environment. The Ce/Ce* values (0.57 - 0.80), Eu/Eu* values (1.04 - 1.88), high Y/Ho ratio, and low LaN/YbN ratio are indications that the rare earth elements in the limestones were derived from terrigenous materials. The positive Eu anomaly and enrichment of Cr and Mn of the limestones are indications of hydrothermal fluid activity taking place in the studied area. Based on the geochemical characteristics of the Punung-Wonosari limestones, the depositional environment and the source of rare earth elements of the limestones were therefore influenced by a combination of hydrothermal fluid activity with small amount of terrigenous material input and post depositional diagenetic process.
