Abstract

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of seventeen metallic elements consisting of scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), and fifteen other lanthanide elements. Rare earth metals have an important role in various technologies, so the analysis and separation of these elements from their minerals is very important to do. This study aims to characterize the tailings through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques. The results of XRD analysis show that the mineral composition of tailings is dominated by quartz (SiO₂) with a percentage of 88%, followed by albite (NaAlSi3O8) with a percentage of 11%.  In addition, the results of XRF analysis show that the main elemental composition in the tailings consists of SiO₂ (69.294%), Al₂O₃ (20.20%), and Fe₂O₃ (4.681%). In addition, heavy metal concentrations in the tailings indicate a potentially serious risk of environmental pollution, with arsenic (As) reaching 100 ppm and mercury (Hg) more than 5 ppm. In addition, rare earth elements identified in the tailings include cerium (Ce) at 14,578 ppm, lanthanum (La) at 7,850 ppm, and neodymium (Nd) at 6,897 ppm. This method is expected to help tailings management, reduce environmental impacts, and support sustainable mineral utilization.

Abstract

The purpose this study is to assess geological conditions and levels of heavy metal pollution arround the artisanal gold mining area in East Tulabolo, East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, to understand its impact on the environment. This study includes geomorphological, stratighraphic, and geological structural analyses as well as measurements of heavy metal content such as arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in river sediments. The metods used include field surveys, sampling, and laboratory analysis with ICP-MS. While pollution levels were analyzed using the Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo). The result showed that heavy metal concentrations exceeded safe limits, with the highest accumulation found in tailling sediments.. The Igeo analysis indicated a mild level of pollution due to the high concentration levels in the control area. This study emphasizes the need for sustainable waste management and ongoing contamination monitoring, including biota and groundwater sampling, to indetify risks of bioaccumulation and movement of contaminants into the wider eccosystem.

Abstract

This study examines the geomorphological characteristics of Tilangobula Village in East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, located within the tectonically active Limboto Zone. Through integrated field observations and geospatial analysis—including topographic maps, slope gradients, and drainage patterns—the research identifies structural hills as the dominant geomorphological unit, covering 2.356 km² with elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters above sea level. The area exhibits two distinct drainage patterns (parallel and trellis) and variable slope gradients (2–140%). Morphogenetic analysis reveals the landscape has been shaped by both endogenic processes (notably oblique faulting, specifically a Normal Left Slip Fault) and exogenic factors (erosion of diorite and quartz diorite intrusions). The lithology comprises intrusive igneous rocks (diorite and quartz diorite), with structural features such as shear joints and faults further influencing the terrain. The findings highlight the interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes in forming the region’s unique structural hills, characterized by V-shaped valleys and steep slopes. This study provides critical baseline data for understanding understudied tectonic landscapes in eastern Indonesia and supports applications in regional geological research and land-use planning. The results underscore the importance of integrating morphographic, morphometric, and morphogenetic analyses to decipher complex geomorphological evolution in tectonically active regions.

Abstract

The study area exhibits diverse geological conditions, one of which is reflected in its geomorphological characteristics that are important to investigate. Olele is located within the southern mountainous zone of Gorontalo and is characterized by hilly to steep terrain. This study aims to identify and classify landform units based on geomorphological analysis. The research method involved field-based geological surveys, including direct geomorphological observations, lithological identification, and geomorphological mapping supported by secondary data analysis. The results show that the study area consists of three geomorphological landform units, namely alluvial plains covering an area of 17.84 ha, reef terrace plains with an area of 17.43 ha, and fault zone hills occupying 1,072.23 ha. The morphography of the area ranges from lowlands to high hills with elevations between 0 and 960 meters above sea level. Slope gradients vary from flat to very steep. Morphogenetic analysis indicates that endogenous processes, particularly tectonic activity, play a significant role in shaping the landscape, as evidenced by the presence of joint structures. Lithologically, the area is composed of unconsolidated alluvial deposits, reef limestone, and volcanic rocks that have undergone weathering and erosion. These findings demonstrate that the geomorphology of the Olele area is strongly controlled by tectonic processes, lithological variation, and surface processes, which together contribute to the development of distinct landform units.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Block “X” of the Pani Gold Project Area, Buntulia District, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, with the aim of examining the regional geological conditions, including geomorphology, stratigraphy, and geological structures. The methods applied consist of geological field mapping supported by petrographic analysis. The results indicate that the study area is divided into two main geomorphological units, namely a volcanic hill unit that dominates the area with undulating to steep morphology, and an alluvial plain unit developed along river systems. The stratigraphy of the study area comprises four lithological units, including granodiorite, diorite porphyry, dacite porphyry of Pliocene age, and alluvial deposits of Holocene age. The geological structures identified include fracture systems and normal faults with a sinistral (left-lateral) component trending northeast–southwest, as well as the presence of fault gouge and fault breccia indicating relatively intense deformation. Overall, the geological characteristics of the study area reflect a strong relationship between lithology, geomorphology, and structural controls in shaping the landscape development.

Abstract

The East Arm of Sulawesi is an active tectonic zone formed by the collision between the Banggai-Sula microcontinent fragments and the East Sulawesi Ophiolite Complex. This research was conducted in Lamo Village and its surrounding areas, Pagimana District, Banggai Regency, to identify detailed geomorphological, lithostratigraphic, and structural geology characteristics, which currently remain limited. The research methods include field mapping, morphometric analysis using DEMNAS data and structural kinematic analysis using stereographic projection. The results indicate that the geomorphology of the study area is divided into two units: the Structural Hills Unit (slope 2–50%) and the Coastal Plain Unit (slope 0–2%). Lithostratigraphically, the study area consists of a Peridotite Unit covering 23.81 km² and an Alluvial Unit covering 1.83 km². Structural analysis of the Peridotite Unit reveals a high intensity of extension joints with a maximum principal stress (σ1) oriented at 127°/71° (NW–SE).
