Analysis of granitoid type of Bukit Nunggal Village, Air Mesu, Central Bangka Regency

Abstract

The research was conducted in Bukit Nunggal Air Mesu Village, Pangkalan Baru District, Central Bangka Regency, an IUP PT Tanjung Bukit Nunggal with a height of ± 210 meters. This study is to find out more details about the type of granitoid rock which is a unitary hill but it is estimated that it is the intrusion body of several types of granitoid rock. The research method includes analysis of mineralization content and geochemical analysis in the form of XRF. The steps to be taken include literature studies, field research, laboratory analysis including mineralogical analysis and microscopic observations as well as geochemical testing of rock samples using XRF. The sampling procedure for analysis is carried out based on the height and changes in rock texture, on the number of rock types / lithologies available to be observed and examined for their mineralization content. Regionally, the study area consists of a hill which is interpreted as a potential rock for construction mining. It is hoped that this research can produce an analysis of the existing granitoid types by studying the lithology / rock, geological structure and mineral textures. There are 2 types of granite found in Nunggal Hill, namely granite and granite alterated (gneiss), with its main minerals are quartz, feldspar, biotit, opaq and sericytic and chlorite minerals.
