Abstract

This study investigates nickel-iron sulfide mineral chemistry and stability from ultramafic rocks in the Kolaka region, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sampling was conducted at two Kolaka ultramafic rock outcrop sites in Baula and Wolo sub-districts. The Kolaka Ultramafic Rocks, part of the Kolaka Ophiolite Complex, are primarily composed of lherzolite, harzburgite, olivine websterite, and serpentinites. Sulfide minerals, including pentlandite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite, were observed in these rocks, along with Ni-Fe-rich minerals interpreted as awaruite. Pentlandite, the dominant sulfide mineral, occurs within olivine and chromite replacements, mainly at their rims and serpentine veins. Eight polished sections of ultramafic rocks from both sites were analyzed using EDS SEM to determine the chemical composition of pentlandite. This analysis reveals a variable composition of Ni and Fe, with Ni-rich members more prevalent. Pentlandites from the Baula district have Fe contents of 18.22–27.34 wt%, Ni contents of 32.59–39.10 wt%, and Co contents of 1.24–2.76 wt%, while those from the Wolo district have significantly higher Ni (46.19–53.79 wt%) and Co (2.79–4.18 wt%) contents but lower Fe (8.50–15.18 wt%). Based on the ternary diagram, pentlandites show various formation temperatures (200 to above 600°C). They are separated into two stability groups: Baula’s pentlandite (Ni < 40%, Fe > 18%) with stability temperatures between 200 and 500°C, and Wolo’s Ni-rich pentlandite (Ni > 46%, Fe < 16%) with stability temperatures above 600°C. The formation of Ni-rich pentlandite is attributed to Ni-rich ultramafic rocks reacting with seawater at high temperatures, facilitating efficient Ni scavenging during serpentinization.

Abstract

The southern part of Kabaena Island in Southeast Sulawesi lies within the East Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt and hosts abundant potential for lateritic nickel deposits; yet morphological controls on the thickness and distribution of nickel grades remain poorly understood. This study analyses how variations in topography influence lateritic nickel deposits, focusing on laterite thickness and nickel grade, using morphometric and morphography data derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) and geochemical data from 78 exploration drill holes. Besides examining cross sections, we assessed the distribution of laterite thickness and nickel grade by slope angle and elevation through linear regression. Lateritic nickel profiles can be classified by slope classes (gentle, moderately steep, steep), each showing distinct profile forms and nickel enrichment zones. The results indicate a positive correlation between elevation and laterite thickness (R = 0.52), whereas nickel grade shows a negative trend, decreasing at higher elevations (R = –0.56). In contrast, slope exhibits weak correlations with both laterite thickness (R = 0.20) and nickel grade (R = 0.14), suggesting slope variation does not significantly influence either parameter relative to elevation. On gentle slopes, average nickel grades are relatively higher than on steep and moderately steep slopes, with laterite thickness varying. The observation that laterite profiles differ at similar elevations and slopes implies that other geological factors also influence the distribution of lateritic nickel.

Abstract

A rock description training has been conducted at SMK Negeri 6 Kendari to enhance fundamental petrology knowledge and descriptive skills among students in the Mining Geology program. This training involved 47 senior-level students and was implemented through several stages, including preparation, material presentation, rock description practicum, and outcome evaluation via written exam and analytical rubric assessment. The training comprised theoretical and practical sessions focused on the description of three rock groups (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) using hand specimens and thin sections. The analysis demonstrates a significant enhancement in students' comprehension, as reflected in the increase in the average post-test score to 62.02, compared to the pre-test score of 45.74. An improvement in descriptive skills was also evident based on the evaluation rubric, with a greater number of students achieving the "Intermediate" proficiency level, characterized by scores exceeding 39, following the training. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test revealed a p-value <0.05, with the t-statistic substantially exceeding the critical threshold, affirming that the training had a significant impact on improving students’ knowledge and descriptive competencies in rock examination. It is recommended that future training programs focus on advanced modules, particularly those emphasizing rock interpretation, to further enhance students’ proficiency in rock description.
