The increasing of Rock size will reduce mine recovery and make mining operation become more expensive. To outlining the Rock size distribution, a model generated from RQD have been used to classified rock size distribution into 4 unit is WT 1, WT 2, WT 3, and Infracture. The purpose of this study is provide an integrated and detailed information about the actual size of boulder in West Block and distribution of rock boulder. Research areas are in the concession area of West Block of PT. Vale is Hill X, Hill Y, and Hill Z. The research methods used by based on the method of RQD and data processing base on the drill point. Megascopic observations of rock types in the study area is igneus rock peridotite with composition of mineral dominantly by piroksin, olivine, serpentin and opaq. From the results of the data analysis and identifier of each element laterite zona through surface geological mapping Laterite zone of research area can be divided top soil, limonite zone, saprolite zone and bedrock.<br /><em></em></p><p><em>Keywords</em>: West block of PT.

Provenance study is needed to determinate the source rocks because these rocks formed from earlier rocks. Administratively, the study area is located in Lalebata area, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province.The purpose of this research is to study the provenance of Walanae Formation sandstone. The method were used measuring section and petrography analysis that used in genetic and empiric classification. Based on thin section analysis by compare between the monoquarst and polyquarst. The sandstone provenance of the area are plutonic igneous rocks, volcanic rocks and metamorphic rocks. The result of this study indicate that provenance of the Walanae sandstone derived from arround Formations are Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks and included as Recycled Orogen and Mamatic Arc Provenance type.</p><p><em>Keywords</em>: Walanae Formation, Provenance, monoquarst, polyquarst, Recycled Orogen, Magmatic Arc Provenance</p> Muhammad Ardiansyah, Mutia Farida, Ulva Ria Irvan Copyright (c) 2016 Jurnal Penelitian Geosains http://118754.2bdvi7ajx.asia/index.php/jpg/article/view/802 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000
