Abstract

Critical minerals are an important natural resource that will continue to be necessary for modern industries. This study aims to determine the distribution of critical minerals based on geochemical data and magnetic susceptibility. Samples were taken from Lenggoksono beach, Southern Malang. The determination of chemical elements was conducted using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Rare Earth Elements (REE) were identified using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out using a Barrington Magnetic Susceptibility Meter (MS2B). The results showed that the dominant elements were Silica Oxide, SiO2 (70 Wt%), Iron Oxide, Fe2O3 (14.05 Wt%), and Calcium Oxide CaO (5.57 Wt%), which were categorized as critical minerals. The average REE elements detected were Cerium, Ce (6.75 mg/kg), Gadolinium, Gd (5.98 mg/kg), Neodymium, Nd (13.56 mg/kg), Praseodymium, Pr (6.62 mg/kg), Terbium, Tb (5.57 mg/kg), and Yttrium, Y (10.98 mg/kg). The magnetic susceptibility ranges from 13.27 to 4143.47 × 10-8m3/kg. Pearson’s Correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between low-frequency magnetic susceptibility (ꭓlf) and high-frequency magnetic susceptibility (ꭓhf) with a significance level of 0.01. ꭓlf and ꭓhf also showed a significant correlation with Gd, with a correlation value of R² = 0.84 and a significance level of 0.05. These results indicate that the presence of one critical mineral can serve as a clue to the presence of other critical minerals, and magnetic susceptibility can be used as a proxy indicator for critical minerals in natural materials.

Abstract

Guru Kinayan, located at the foothills of mount Sinabung in Karo regency, is characterized by several geothermal manifestations, highlighting the necessity of studying its geothermal potential. This research aims to assess the geothermal prospects of the area through 2-D electrical resistivity, geomagnetic surveys, and (XRD) methods. To acquire 2-D resistivity data, a Wenner Schlumberger array with a 5-meter electrode spacing was utilized, and the data were processed using Res2Dinv. Geomagnetic surveys were conducted using a PPM, with the results analyzed using Mag2dc and Surfer 13 to determine susceptibility results. The analysis of rock composition was performed using XRD. The 2-D resistivity results indicated resistivity values ranging from 1 to 1250 Ωm. Values between 1 and 20 Ωm indicated as alluvium, indicating a reservoir for geothermal, while resistivity values >1000 indicates as limestone, which indicated as a heat conductor. The magnetic residual map shows geomagnetic values (20 to 380 nT), suggesting a geothermal source, and the susceptibility values ranging (0.0013 x 10³ to 0.0088 x 10³) indicates the presence of igneous rocks, specifically andesite lava and pyroclastic rocks. The XRD results show arsenopirit and quartz in the geothermal area. Based on the integrated results, the study area has significant geothermal potential.
