Abstract

Resources have economic value, form, quality, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and certain sustainability to be extracted economically. Mineral resources decrease based on the level of geological confidence into the Inferred, Indicated and Measured category. This study aims to assess the potential of nickel laterite resources and the distribution of nickel mineralization levels in the study area using the Ordinary Kriging geostatistical method. The research methodology was inspired by statistical and geostatistical analysis, starting with univariant statistical analysis, spatial statistics, bivariant statistics and resource estimation. for later use in determining the distribution of mineralization grades and classifying nickel laterite resources using the RKDS (Relative Kriging Standard Deviation) calculation. This method is used to estimate nickel content in a block whose grade value is unknown. The results of statistical calculations using Ordinary kriging obtained an average grade value of 2.90% Ni. Mineralization data for nickel content in limonite layers with Ni content of 0.5 – 1.3% and in saprolite layers with Cut of Grade (COG) Ni, 1.4 – 3.1% Ni in limonite and saprolite layers are projected in the block model. The estimated tonnage of nickel resources using the OK method is 670,837.83 tonnes. The results of laterite nickel resource classification using the RKSD (Relative Kriging Standard Deviation) calculation are classified into measured resources (Measured).

Abstract

PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama is a company engaged in mining laterite nickel ore in Wolo sub-district, Kolaka district, Southeast Sulawesi province. In lateritic nickel ore mining activities, there is often a difference in levels of laterite nickel ore when it is still in the mining front and after being transferred to the stockpile. This research is to determine the proportion of differences in the levels of Ni, Fe, MgO and SiO2 on the mining front with the stockpile and to determine the factors that influence changes in nickel content. The method used in this study is the grab sampling method in front mining and stockpile. The results of this study are based on the results of the analysis, obtained data on the levels of Ni, Fe, MgO and SiO2 on the mining front with a stockpile, the Ni content has a difference of 0.05% and the Fe content has a difference of 0.34%, the two minerals have the highest grades on the mining front. mining and MgO content has a difference of 2.68% and SiO2 content has a difference of 8.87%, the two minerals have the highest grade in the stockpile. Factors that influence changes in nickel content are the heterogeneous distribution of ore, the position of the waste above the ore and the rainy weather that occurs in the field, operator and sampling skills.
