Abstract

Indonesia is a country with abundant geothermal energy potential. One of the locations that have potential geothermal energy sources is Tiouw Village, Saparua, Central Maluku. This study was conducted on the types of mineral deposits using the petrographic method, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Based on the results of petrographic analysis and XRD, rock samples 1, 2, and 3 of Tiouw include andesite igneous rocks with propylitic alteration type. While sample 4 is dacite igneous rock with argillic alteration type. Each rock sample has a mineral set of kaolinite, chlorite, quartz, cristobalite, epidote, and plagioclase. The XRF results showed the highest chemical composition of SiO2, followed by Al2O3 and K2O. This mineral content can indicate the subsurface temperature of the geothermal field in the range of 200–300 ºC with varying salinity, pH close to neutral, and low permeability. This interpreted that the type of mineral deposits in Tiouw Village was high sulfidation epithermal deposits. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um024v4i22019p037

Abstract

There are three rock samples that have been taken from the gold mining area of Botak mountain. The rock samples were then analyzed with spectroscopic IR to estimate the characteristic of mineral in the area. Analysis results indicate that the type of mineral found in rock samples 2 is dominated by Kaolinite, Organic Carbon, Palygorskite and Quartz. So it can be estimate the type of rock contained in that area is Quartzite. The analysis result of mineral type analysis on rock samples 1 dan 3 have similarities that is Kaolinite, Organic Carbon, Palygorskite, and Albite. So it can be estimate that the other types of rock in the area are Andesite and Limestone. The existence of Andesit and Limestone shows that there has been alteration and hydrothermal mineralization from volcanic origin rock. So it can be estimate that these rocks are the bearing rocks and hosted rocks of base metals and gold. Whereas the quartzite is a bond mineral from gold carrying rocks
