SUBDIT MINERAL LOGAM
ABSTRACT
The prospect area is located in Wai Wajo, Sikka district and Ratenggo, Ende district, East
Nusa Tenggara province, Republic of Indonesia. The prospect area was discovered as a result of a
systematic exploration program by Directorate of Mineral Resources (DMR) since 1999-2000 and
2002, and than proceed on the year 2003 2004 by DMRI KORES, focused on base metal and
precious metal mineralization.
The geology of the prospect area consists of Miocene volcanics of Kiro Formation and
Tanahau Formation and intrusive of granodiorite and Quaternary volcanics. From the chemical
analysis results of major elements of representative volcanics shows characteristic of toleiitic magma.
The predominant system of lineaments in the prospect area tends to be NE-SW trend. This fault system
appears to have a closed relationship with the mineralization in the prospect area.
Most of base metal mineralization were hosted by phyllic argillic andesitc to dacitic tuff of
Kiro Formation and Tanahau Formation and intrusive of granodiorite with the occurrences of
structure control of epithermal type or massive sulphide type. Rock samples indicate the
mineralization types are disseminated, fracture filling and quartz vein containing chalcopyrite,
galena, sphalerite, covellite and pyrite. The best grade revealed from these rocks of 6,980 ppm Cu
and 50 ppb Au, and from quartz vein of 4,868 ppm Cu and 57 ppb Au.
The geochemical anomaly zones are identifying two combined anomaly i.e. Au-Cu-Zn-Mo and
Ag-Pb-Zn. And those anomalies are concentrated in the phyllic and argillic andesitic tuff of Kiro
Formation. Further this anomaly area also occupied by base metal and gold mineralization outcrops.
Interesting IP anomalies are found in electrode separation index of n=5 and n=7 in line WA7
with chargeability value of 405.7 Msec and resistivity value of 37.7 Ohm-m. In general high
chargeability and low resistivity anomalies are developed of direction from southwest to northeast of
prospect area and these anomalies still open to the northeast. The high chargeability value lets to
predict presenting of blind copper deposits. Some bore holes will be proposed for the next survey to
confirm the present of blind ore deposit in the prospect area.
