Occurrences and Characteristics of Gold Mineralization in Rampi Block Prospect, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia Journal of Applied Geology, vol. 1(2), 2016, pp. 63–70 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22146/jag.26962 Occurrences and Characteristics of Gold Mineralization in Rampi Block Prospect, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia Arifudin Idrus*1, Suaib Mansur2, Ahmad2, Rahmayuddin2, and Abdul Mahdi2 1Department of Geological Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia 2Mining and Energy Agency, North Luwu District, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia ABSTRACT. This study is aimed to identify the occurences, characterisatics and genetic type of gold mineralization, and to elucidate the preliminary gold potential in the study area. Research method includes field observation of prospect geology, hydrothermal alter- ation and ore mineralization. Laboratory analysis consists of petrography, ore microscopy and ore chemistry. Geologically, quartz ± gold veins were found in Rampi block prospect, which are mainly hosted by metamorphic and metasediment rocks. The quartz veins has structurally segmented with massive, brecciated and laminated textures. Orientation and distribution of veins is controlled by NW–SE and NE–SW trending structures. Sulfides are present with minor abundance (<1 %). Pyrite is obviously observed and partially oxidized. Arsenopyrite and stibnite are minor, while basemetal (Pb, Zn) sulfides are very rare. Gold mineralization occurred in quartz veins and closely related to silica-clay and silicic alter- ation. Gold grade varies from 0.1 to 11 ppm Au (29 samples). Quartz veins contained high gold grade (>9 ppm) commonly show laminated and brecciated texture and has been un- dergone a supergene enrichment. According to several characteristics above, gold deposit in Rampi block prospect tends to meet the criteria of orogenic/mesothermal gold type (cf. Groves et al., 2003). The deposit shares similarities with Awak Mas prospect, which is already confirmed to be a mesothermal type in Luwu district (cf. Querubin and Walters, 2011). Therefore, discoveries of economic mesothermal gold deposits are still open in the metamorphic terrains, and thus, it requires a systematic exploration based on the genetic model of the deposit.

    Analysis of Development of Culinary Tourism Management Model in Case Study East Luwu District Based On SIG Syahrial1, Syamsu Rijal2, Muh. Zainuddin Badollahi3 Politeknik Pariwisata Makassar1,2,3 Jl. Gn. Rinjani Jl. Metro Tj. Bunga No.1, Tj. Merdeka, Kec. Tamalate, Kota Makassar, 90224, Indonesia Correspondence email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The rapid development of technology makes human needs for information about tourist attractions require the availability of appropriate information systems, therefore the geographic information system of culinary attractions is developed to help tourists. East Luwu Regency is one of the regencies in South Sulawesi that has the potential of culinary tourism which is said if it is not managed well. For this reason, a website application based on geographic information about restaurants serving typical foods of East Luwu Regency was created. In this application, you can see the Login list of the distribution of restaurant locations. Keywords: East Luwu Regency, Website, Traditional Food. INTRODUCTION The current era of globalization is competition in all sectors increasingly fierce, facing this problem, every organization must have competitive competition with other organizations. To achieve certain advantages, each organization performs a variety of ways, such as creating products with unique designs, using modern technology, organizational design and, most importantly, effective and efficient human resource management (Journal et al., 2018). Besides food, authenticity can indeed attract visitors to the destination. On the other hand, destinations use food as the main attraction. That is why some countries develop their destination marketing strategies by focusing on food. Therefore, it is important for destination culinary marketers to know the perception of target consumers about destination culinary and how to influence their intention to visit through effective marketing strategies.

This research method is based on the approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. This research was conducted in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province, to be precise at the Regent Office of North Luwu Regency. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews. The results showed that the leader has carried out his function as a spokesman. The output of the aforementioned activities has brought the good name of the North Luwu Regency Government as a regency that has the ability to speak professionally, where organizing international and national scale events require optimal lobbying and negotiations. The implementation of the leader in giving natural rewards to employees turns out to be able to improve performance and motivation on the pretext that the work given is an award because not everyone is able to complete the job well, on the other hand, employees feel that tasks that can be completed properly are opportunities for further increase his potential and competence so that it will be easier to get strategic positions in the future.

Corresponding author: M. Zainuddin, [email protected] Abstract. About 59% of Katsuwonus pelamis production of South Sulawesi Province is from the Bone Gulf. However, the threat of climate change could decline the fish production level. The purpose of this study was to identify the existence of climate change in the Bone Gulf, and to analyze the effect of the climate change on the distribution and abundance of K. pelamis during the southeast monsoon. This study used a survey method to collect two types of datasets, primary and secondary data. The primary data consisted of the fishing position, catch, in situ sea surface temperatures (SST), and chlorophyll-a, and secondary data comprised SST and chlorophyll-a obtained from satellite data of TERRA/MODIS. Ten years satellite data of 2005-2014 were used to analyze spatial and temporal of SST and chlorophyll-a anomalies, to identify the existence of climate change in the Bone Gulf. Generalized Additive Model (GAM) were used to analyze the effect of the climate change on the K. pelamis distribution using R 3.1.2 software package. All SST and chlorophyll as well as fishing data were mapped using ArcGIS 10.1.

  • Culture Assimilation Between Toraja/Tionghoa Ethnic and Buginese/Makassar As Actions to Prevent Conflict of Ethnicity, Religion
    Proceeding/paper of INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS September, 29 – 30, 2017, Surabaya, Indonesia CULTURE ASSIMILATION BETWEEN TORAJA/TIONGHOA ETHNIC AND BUGINESE/MAKASSAR AS ACTIONS TO PREVENT CONFLICT OF ETHNICITY, RELIGION, RACE, AND INTER-GROUP RELATIONS IN SOUTH SULAWESI Tuti Bahfiarti1, Jeanny Maria Fatimah 2, Arianto3, Aswin Baharuddin4 1,2,3,4 Departement of Communication Faculty of Social & Political Science, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia [email protected] The assimilation of communication between ethnic Toraja/Tionghoa and Ethnic Bugis/Makassar is the process of assimilation of two different cultures. The process of assimilation formation occurs due to inter-ethnic communication mixing done continuously. This is an attempt to reduce cultural differences, such as language, gestures, non verbal, attitudes, beliefs, traits, values and mind orientation. The goal is to reduce communication distortion as an effort to prevent SARA (Ethnicity, Religion, Race, and Inter-group) conflict in South Sulawesi Province. The assimilation of inter-ethnic communication can lead to a new/mixed culture to prevent Ethnic, Religion, Race, Intergroup oriented conflict. The research method is done through qualitative paradigm with interpretative approach based on uniqueness and specification of study which can not be generalized. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews and Focuss Group Discussion with religious leaders, community leaders, in Luwu Utara District and Tana Toraja. Reasons for Representative chose the location because there was direct contact between the ethnic groups that became the focus of this research. The process of communication assimilation stage between ethnic Toraja/Tionghoa and Bugis/Makassar ethnic is the first step of learning as inter-ethnic activity that adapt each other.
