Abstract

This study aims to determine the lithological characteristics, texture, and elemental composition of lateritic nickel deposits in Block X, Wolo District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The analysis focuses on Ni, Fe, MgO, and SiO₂ contents based on geochemical exploration data obtained from PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama. Data processing was carried out through composite data analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and visualization using histograms, scatter plots, and ternary diagrams. The results show that the lateritic nickel deposit in the study area can be divided into three main zones: limonite layer, saprolite layer, and bedrock. The limonite layer is characterized by high Fe content (28.65–40.33%) and a clayey texture, while the saprolite layer exhibits higher concentrations of Ni (0.08–2.10%) and MgO (10.29–32.20%) with fine to coarse sandy texture. Intensive laterization processes under humid tropical conditions play a crucial role in the formation, differentiation, and enrichment of lateritic nickel deposits in this lokasi.

Abstract

A continuously growing population day by day means that the need for water is also increasing.The majority of the Botumoputi Village community uses groundwater every day through dug wells and drilled wells for their daily needs. The purpose of the study was to determine the subsurface geological conditions that can be used as a reference in estimating the location, thickness, depth and type of aquifer. The method used is the resistivity geoelectric method using the Schlumberger configuration. Measurements were carried out at 3 points with a span length of 300 m each. Data processing and interpretation using software IPI2win. The results of processing Schlumberger configuration geoelectric data and subsurface geological interpretation to identify the type of groundwater aquifer in the Botumoputi area show 3 layers of rock types based on their resistivity values, namely top soil, clay and sand. It is estimated that the potential for groundwater is found in TS1 and TS2 where the lithology that acts as an aquifer is sandstone with a resistivity value of 16.8 - 42.7 ohms with a depth ranging from 3.93 - 17.2 m with a thickness of 8.88 - 13.27 m and is interpreted as a shallow aquifer.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand the geological characteristics and groundwater aquifer potential in the study area. The research methods employed include surface geological mapping, borehole data interpretation, as well as lithology and structural geology analysis. The results indicate that the geological formations in the study area are predominantly composed of sedimentary and volcanic rocks with significant lithological variations, such as sandstone, claystone, and tuff. The identified geological structures, including folds and faults, influence the distribution of aquifers and groundwater flow. Aquifers in the study area are categorized into unconfined and confined aquifers, with the highest potential found in sandstone layers due to their high porosity and permeability. These findings are expected to serve as an important foundation for the sustainable management of groundwater resources in the study area.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the geological conditions and landslide potential in Tolango Village, Anggrek District, North Gorontalo Regency. The research area is predominantly composed of two main lithological units: andesite and alluvial deposits. Field observations, petrographic analysis, and structural measurements were carried out to determine the geological characteristics. In addition, geoelectrical surveys using the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method were conducted to interpret subsurface conditions. The results show that the upper layer (1.25–3.75 m) consists of clayey soil with low resistivity values (8.10–100 Ωm), while the lower layer (up to 15.9 m) is composed of andesite bedrock with higher resistivity values (101–7,600 Ωm). A potential slip surface was identified at the contact between these two layers, which becomes critical when water infiltration increases during the rainy season. Structural features such as thrust faults and joints were also observed, indicating tectonic influence on slope instability. Overall, the integration of geological and geophysical data confirms that the area is highly susceptible to landslides, particularly on steep slopes with impermeable clay-rich layers overlying resistant bedrock.

Abstract

This study examines the geological conditions and slope stability of segments IG1 and IG2 in the Magazine access area of the Pani Gold Project, Pohuwato Regency. The research methods include geological mapping, scanline analysis, kinematic evaluation using stereonet, and Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Slope Mass Rating (SMR) assessments. Segment IG1 consists of volcanic breccia with an RMR value of 57 (Class III, Fair Rock) and an SMR value of 45–50 (Poor), indicating wedge failure potential. Segment IG2 is dominated by dacite with an RMR of 60 (Class III, Fair Rock) and an SMR of 55–60 (Fair–Good), showing a tendency toward toppling failure. The results suggest that IG2 is relatively more stable than IG1, although localized failures may occur. Technical recommendations include slope reinforcement with rock bolts, shotcrete, and drainage systems to minimize slope failure risks.
