Abstract

This paper identifies the gold mineralization zone in X Village using the Induced Polarization and resistivity geoelectric method. The measurements were performed using the Wenner arrangement on six tracks, each separated by a distance of 235 meters and spaced 5 meters apart. The distribution of chargeability values was determined using the Induced Polarization method, while the distribution of resistivity values was determined using the resistivity geoelectric method at the research site. The identification results indicate that the suspected gold mineralization zone is on tracks 2 and 6. On track 2, the zone of suspected gold mineralization is suspected to be located 70-75 meters away from the starting point of measurement (point A). On track 6, it is located 65-75 meters away. The gold deposits are found in phyllite rocks that have undergone alteration, specifically philic, argillic, and silicified rock.

Abstract

Slope failures frequently occur in hilly regions, particularly during periods of intense rainfall. At the end of 2022, such an event affected a residential area in Hargomulyo Village, Kulon Progo. Mitigation efforts against similar hazards can be implemented through mapping of landslide-prone zones, one of which involves identifying the rock layers that act as the slip surface. This study employs the geoelectrical resistivity method with a Wenner configuration to characterize the subsurface structure based on variations in electrical resistivity of soil and rock. Data acquisition was conducted along four survey lines located within an andesitic intrusion formation composed of hypersthene–andesite to trachyandesite rocks. The modeling results indicate three main layers: surface soil with resistivity values below 54.4 Ωm, clay mixed with weathered andesite ranging from 54.4 Ωm to 141 Ωm, and intact andesite bedrock exceeding 141 Ωm. Correlation with the Geological Map of Yogyakarta Sheet (Rahardjo et al., 1995) confirms that the potential slip surface corresponds to the weathered andesite–clay zone developed along the contact between the Andesite Intrusion and the Kebobutak Formation. This transition layer, acting as a mechanically weak zone, controls slope stability in the study area. The presence of a local north–south fault may further increase groundwater infiltration and pore pressure above the impermeable andesite layer, promoting slope movement during heavy rainfall. These results emphasize that integrating resistivity interpretation with geological mapping provides a more comprehensive understanding of landslide mechanisms and supports hazard mitigation efforts in andesitic terrains of Kulon Progo.
