ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini terletak di wilayah IUP PT. Antam Tbk. Pomala, Propinsi Sulawesi
Tenggara. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui hubungan Struktur
geologi terhadap kadar nikel laterit daerah penelitian melalui analisis struktur
geologi dan menghubungkannya dengan data sekunder kadar Nikel laterit. Kadar
Nikel laterit daerah penelitian diperoleh dari data hasil pengeboran PT. Antam
Tbk. Unit Geomin Pomalaa. Data citra satelit ASTER digunakan untuk intepretasi
struktur geologi daerah penelitian. Struktur geologi yang berkembang didaerah
penelitian adalah struktur kekar dan sesar. Jenis kekar yang berkembang adalah
kekar gerus dan kekar tarik. Jenis sesar yang berkembang adalah sesar normal
minor. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kekar gerus menggunakan diagram mawar
(rosed) didapatkan arah tegasan utama (σ1) berarah N 355oE dan arah tegasan
minimum (σ3) N 85oE. Kekar ditemukan memiliki tingkat kerapatan (densitas)
yang berbeda-beda. Tingkat kerapatan kekar didaerah penelitian dibagi dalam tiga
kelas yaitu kelas pertama (3-9 m-2), kelas kedua (10-17 m-2), dan tinggi (18-25 m-
2
). Kekar yang ditemukan telah mengalami pengisian oleh mineral Garnierit.
Serpentin, Silika dan Mangan. Kadar nikel daerah penelitian dibagi dalam tiga
kelas yaitu kelas pertama (0.5-1%Ni), kelas kedua (1.01-1.5%Ni) dan kelas ketiga
(1.501-2%Ni). Berdasarkan hasil overlay peta densitas struktur kekar dengan peta
kadar nikel laterit daerah penelitian di dapatkan hubungan, dimana daerah dengan
tingkat kerapatan kekar tinggi memiliki kadar nikel laterit tinggi.

ABSTRACT

This research is situated in the region of IUP PT. Antam Tbk. Pomala, Southeast
Celebes. The purpose of this study is to determine the relation of the geological
structure toward nickel laterite grade in area of research through geological
structure analysis and connect it to the secondary data, which is lateritic nickel
grade. Lateritic nickel Grade in research area were obtained from the drilling
data results of PT. Antam Tbk. Geomin Pomalaa department. ASTER satellite
data image is used to interpret the geological structure of the study area.
Geological structure that develop in the research area is joint structure and
minor faults. Joint that develops is Shear joint and extension joint. Type of fault is
a normal minor fault. Based on the analysis, shear joint using roses diagram,
obtaining main sharpness directions (σ1) trending N355˚E and minimum
sharpness direction (σ3) N85˚E. Joint found to have different level of density. The
density of jointin research area is divided into three classes: first class (3-9 m-2),
second class (10-17 m-2), and third class (18-25 m-2). Joint was found to have
suffered charging by mineral Garnierit. Serpentine, Silica and Manganese. Nickel
grade of the study area was divided into three classes: first class (0.5-1% Ni),
second class (1.01-1.5% Ni) and third class (1.501-2% Ni). Based on the results
of the overlay density map of joint structure with map of nickel laterite grade in
there search area had found a relation, areas with high density level of joint have
high grade of nickel laterite.
