ABSTRAKElla Ilir secara administratif terletak di Kabupaten Melawi, Kalimantan Barat. Geologi regional daerah Ella Ilir tersusun atas batuan malihan berumur Trias–Karbon yang diterobos oleh batuan granitik berumur Yura dan Kapur. Keterdapatan mineral radioaktif di daerah tersebut terindikasi dari radioaktivitas urat-urat magnetit pada batuan malihan berumur Trias–Karbon dengan kisaran nilai 1.000 c/s hingga 15.000 c/s. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menentukan jenis cebakan mineral bijih dan mengidentifikasi keterdapatan mineral radioaktif pada urat-urat bijih magnetit di daerah Ella Ilir. Metode yang digunakan adalah pemetaan geologi, pengukuran radioaktivitas, analisis kadar uranium, dan analisis mineragrafi beberapa sampel urat bijih magnetit. Litologi daerah penelitian tersusun oleh kuarsit biotit, metatuf, metabatulanau, metapelit, granit biotit, dan riolit. Sesar sinistral barat-timur dan sesar dekstral utara-selatan merupakan struktur sesar yang berkembang di daerah ini. Komposisi mineral urat-urat magnetit terdiri dari mineral-mineral bijih besi, sulfida, dan radioaktif. Mineral bijih besi terdiri dari magnetit, hematit, dan gutit. Mineral sulfida terdiri dari pirit, pirhotit, dan molibdenit sedangkan mineral radioaktif terdiri dari uraninit dan gumit. Keterdapatan urat-urat bijih magnetit dikontrol oleh litologi dan struktur geologi. Urat-urat magnetit pada metabatulanau berukuran tebal (1,5–5 m), mengisi rekahan-rekahan yang terdapat di sekitar zona sesar. Sementara itu, urat-urat magnetit pada metapelit berukuran tipis (milimetrik–sentimetrik), mengisi rekahan-rekahan yang sejajar dengan bidang sekistositas. Cebakan mineral bijih di daerah penelitian adalah cebakan bijih besi atau cebakan bijih magnetit berbentuk urat karena proses hidrotermal magmatik.ABSTRACTElla Ilir administratively located in Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan. Regional geology of Ella Ilir area is composed of metamorphic rocks in Triassic–Carboniferous age which are intruded by Jurassic and Cretaceous granitic rocks. Radioactive minerals occurences in the area are indicated by magnetite veins radioactivities on Triassic to Carboniferous metamorphic rocks whose values range from 1,000 c/s to 15,000 c/s. Goal of the study is to determine the type of ore mineral deposits and to identify the presence of radioactive mineral in magnetite veins in Ella Ilir area. The methods used are geological mapping, radioactivity measurements, analysis on uranium grades, and mineragraphy analysis of severe magnetite veins samples. Lithologies of the study area are composed by biotite quartzite, metatuff, metasilt, metapellite, biotite granite, and ryolite. The east-west sinistral fault and the north-south dextral fault are the developed fault structures in this area. Mineral composition of magnetite veins are consists of iron ore, sulfide, and radioactive minerals. Iron ore mineral consists of magnetite, hematit, and goetite. Sulfide minerals consist of pyrite, pirhotite, and molybdenite, while radioactive minerals consist of uraninite and gummite. The occurences of magnetite veins are controlled by lithology and geological structures. The magnetite veins in metasilt are thick (1.5–5 m), filled the fractures in the fault zone. Meanwhile, the magnetite veins in metapellite are thinner (milimetric–centimetric), filled the fractures that are parallel to the schistocity. The ore deposits in the study area are iron ore deposits or magnetite ore deposits formed by magmatic hydrothermal processes.

We have examined some of the presumed Precambrian basement metamorphic and granitic rocks in Japan, through radiometric dating as well as on field evidence, and have found that mineral ages of about 175 to 250 m.y. are abundant in the Hida area, northwestern part of central Japan, that a number of thrust rocks in southwestern Japan show ages of 400 to 450 m.y., and that the oldest of the measured samples is about or somewhat over 500 m.y. Little evidence is available to support a view that the Pre-Sinian rocks, if ever existent, have remained unaltered under such a polycyclic orogenic zone as that represented by Japan, although remnants of the youngest Precambrian to Early Paleozoic cycle can be detected.
