Abstract

Open pit mining involves excavation of soil and overburden, which requires a well-planned disposal area to maintain stockpile stability. This is achieved through an analysis of soil bearing capacity and slope stability. The research was conducted at the ASTIM In Pit Dump (IPD) using actual materials. Data were obtained from direct shear tests and physical properties tests, then statistically analyzed to determine the average value, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum relative values. These data were subsquetly input into geotechnical software to perform a slope stability analysis under pessimistic conditions, including water-saturated slopes with a horizontal seismicity coefficient of 0.045. The simulation results did not meet the stability criteria, yielding a safety factor of 0.647. Therefore, engineering design modifications were necessary, including widening the slope angle to 7.61°, consisting of six steps with a level height of 5 meters, a width of 30 meters, and a slope angle of 25°. This redesign resulted in a safety factor (SF) of 1.254 which meets slope stability criteria based on Bowles (1989) and a probability of failure (PoF) of 4.1%, in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018.

Abstract

This research investigates ore samples from Cihaur Village, Sukabumi District, West Java, which exhibit significant skarn alteration in limestone, is examined for its petrographic and mineragraphic features. Secondary minerals identified include pyroxene, garnet, calcite, and opaque minerals, while the primary ore minerals are chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), galena (PbS), and sphalerite (ZnS). Five samples were analyzed geochemical analysis using the ICP-MS method to assess the concentration of important elements including Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag, Sb, Bi, Cd, Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, and As. Element distribution patterns were examined using spider diagrams, providing insight into environmental gradients influencing mineral exploration. The study revealed a high positive correlation between Pb and Zn, suggesting co-deposition in sulfide mineralization. Pb also correlates strongly with Ag and Sb. This study confirms the considerable economic potential of the Sukabumi skarn deposits for Pb, Zn, Cu, and precious metals such as Ag. Exploration value is increased when essential minerals like Sb and Cd are present. Variations in geochemical conditions indicate the influence of magmatic intrusions and hydrothermal activity on element distribution. These results provide a solid foundation for further exploration to delineate mineralization zones in the region

Abstract

Illegal gold mining caused various environmental damages in the world. Indonesia is one of the countries with abundant mineral reserves, especially Jambi Province. Jambi has much of natural resources, such as coal and gold. Unfortunately, the management of these natural resources has not been appropriately managed, which has resulted in much illegal gold mining. Illegal mining activities have caused environmental damage, mainly decreased water quality and changed landscapes. This paper explains the illegal mining activities at Jambi Province, including its history, socio-economic and environmental impacts, as well as recent technologies to reduce the environmental damage. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this research, including interviews, questionnaires, and laboratory measurements. The results showed that the people of Sarolangun, Bungo, and Tebo were aware that their illegal gold mining activities caused environmental damage. However, economic conditions and insufficient employment opportunities made unlawful gold miners have no other choice. Illegal gold mining activities have also shifted people's livelihoods who previously worked as farmers.

Abstract

In open pit mining, the main activities include excavating the material from its original state and transporting it to the disposal area or stockpile, which forms an embankment. Slope stability in the disposal area should be monitored regularly to prevent losses caused by landslides. If a landslide occurs, it is important to identify the cause as a basis for recommending new slope design and implementing appropriate engineering measures to prevent future landslide occurrences. This study was conducted on a slope that had experienced a landslide in the Pit 'X' disposal area, Tanjung Enim, South Sumatra. This study aims to analyze the cause of the landslide by using a back analysis approach. Slope stability analysis was conducted using the Morgenstern-Price boundary equilibrium method, with failure probabilities calculated using Slide 2 software. Input data consisted of cohesion, internal friction angles, and unit weight of slope material. Based on the slope stability analysis, landslides occurred on slopes with a safety factor of 1 and a 40% probability of failure. This was caused by a 67.43% decrease in cohesion caused by the water-saturated condition of the clay material and the influence of the steep slope geometry. The proposed engineering solutions include slope grading, which increases the factor of safety by 30.31%, and the addition of counterweights, which further increases the factor of safety by 32.10%.

Abstract

The settling pond functions to hold and settle suspended particles, especially Total Suspended Solid (TSS) in order to reduce the pollutant load. However, the effectiveness of settling ponds is greatly influenced by the flow characteristics and the concentration of tss carried. This research compares two numerical approaches in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), namely Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Both of these methods are widely used in turbulent flow simulations, but have different approaches and levels of accuracy in representing turbulence structures. This study reviews various recent scientific publications that apply the rans and les equations in internal and external flow cases, including settling pond applications. The review results show that the RANS equation is suitable for large-scale engineering simulations with low computational requirements but is less accurate in capturing turbulence details. The les equation provides more accurate results in capturing turbulent flow patterns than the RANS model. However, tutoring models require greater computational resources, so they need to be considered for more complex applications. From this comparison it can be concluded that the selection of equations in a CFD is very dependent on the analysis objectives, limited computing resources, and the level of data detail required.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the global steel industry has significantly intensified the demand for the metallurgical-grade chromite ore required for ferrochrome production. This surge has led to a depletion of high-grade chromite reserves, necessitating the utilization of low- and medium-grade chromite to support a stable raw material supply for ferrochrome. This research was conducted to determine the characteristics of the ore and to analyze the effects of physical beneficiation processes using shaking table and Davis tube in enhancing the chromium (Cr) grade and the Cr:Fe ratio of low-grade chromite sand from Morowali, Central Sulawesi. The characterization process was conducted using XRF, XRD, and SEM-EDS. Experimental parameters for the shaking table included variations in table inclination and water flow rate, while magnetic separation was analyzed across various electric current intensities. The optimal shaking table test results were achieved at an inclination of 7.5° with a water flow rate of 18 liters/minute. In contrast, the optimal test using the Davis tube was obtained at an electric current of 0.4 amperes (660 gauss). This integrated process successfully increased Cr grade from 8.5% to 20.77% (corresponding to Cr2O3 30.36%) and improved the Cr:Fe ratio from 0.97 to 1.62, achieving a recovery rate of 94.93%.

Abstract

This study provides a doctrinal examination of Indonesia’s legal framework regulating the increase of added value in nickel mining, with a particular focus on the coherence and enforceability of downstream mineral regulations. Employing a normative legal method combining statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, the research assesses the alignment between primary legislation—Law No. 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal Mining, as amended by Law No. 3 of 2020 and most recently by Law No. 2 of 2025—and its derivative instruments, including Government Regulation No. 23 of 2010 and successive ministerial regulations. Secondary legal materials, official government reports, international publications, and documented statistical data on nickel production and exports are examined to evaluate the extent to which the regulatory framework promotes domestic processing, legal certainty, and sustainable management of natural resources in accordance with the constitutional mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. The findings indicate that regulatory interventions have substantively expanded domestic processing capacity and generated downstream investment, reaching approximately USD 5.03 billion, while increasing Indonesia’s nickel export value from USD 1.3 billion in 2021 to USD 6.8 billion in 2023. However, despite these economic outcomes, significant normative inconsistencies persist, including fragmented regulatory mandates, inadequate harmonization between central and sectoral regulations, and limited institutional capacity in licensing and supervision. These weaknesses manifest in ore–smelter imbalances, unequal distribution of benefits, and escalating environmental degradation, particularly deforestation, marine sedimentation, and heavy-metal contamination around mining areas. Such conditions reveal a structural discrepancy between the normative objectives of downstreaming and the principles of environmental protection, community rights, and sustainable governance mandated by Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. This research contributes to the legal discourse by demonstrating that Indonesia’s nickel downstreaming framework remains predominantly instrumental and growth-oriented, lacking a coherent integration of environmental law, administrative accountability, and welfare-state obligations. Strengthening regulatory certainty requires harmonization of derivative regulations, binding environmental enforcement, and institutional safeguards to ensure equitable benefit distribution and long-term public welfare. These measures are crucial in operationalizing constitutional mandates and reinforcing the legitimacy of mineral governance in Indonesia.
