Areas along the southern coast of Java, known to have the
potential for iron sand deposits in large quantity. One of
which is in area of pantai Goa Cemara, Sanden district,
Bantul regency, province of Yogyakarta Special Region. Metodologi dalam penelitian diawali dengan studi literatur,
This study aims to determine the distribution direction and kemudian dilakukan pemetaan geologi permukaan serta
thickness of mineral resources of iron sands on the surface pemetaan geologi bawah permukaan menggunakan metode
and subsurface based on geological modeling Geofisika berupa Geolistrik, pengambilan sampel dan
interpretation. analisis derajat kemagnetan.

Methodology including literature review, then surface

geological mapping and geological mapping of the
subsurface using Geoelectric geophysical methods, on-site
sampling test and magnetism degree analysis as well.
Based on surface geological mapping obtained the
distributions of iron sand are generally concentrated in the
sand dunes area. Based on the results of geophysical
measurements seen from the resistivity showing indication
of iron sand with resistivity range value of 100 - 700 m.
From these data are supported by geological modeling can
be assuming that iron sand thickness varies considerably,
ranging from 0.5 to 5 meters. The results of the laboratory
analysis found Magnetism degree of iron sand deposits on
the study area ranges of 15,40% - 43,50%. Iron sand
deposits in the study area considered sufficient potential to
support the availability of iron ore in the future that need
further investigation.
Dari pemetaan geologi permukaan didapatkan persebaran
pasir besi umumnya terkonsentrasi di daerah gumuk.
Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran geofisika dilihat dari nilai
resistivitas menunjukkan adanya indikasi pasir besi dengan
nilai resistivitas berkisar 100 - 700 m. Dari data tersebut
yang didukung dengan pemodelan geologi dapat
diinterpretasikan ketebalan pasir besi sangat bervariasi
berkisar 0,5 5 meter. Hasil dari analisis laboratorium
didapatkan nilai derajat kemagnetan pasir besi daerah
penelitian berkisar 15,40 % - 43,50 %. Endapan pasir besi
di daerah penelitian dinilai cukup potensial untuk
menunjang ketersediaan bijih besi di masa mendatang
sehingga perlu dilakukan penyelidikan lebih lanjut.

Sand iron is one impotant mineral resource that used as a
potensi endapan pasir besi yang cukup besar. Diantara
raw material for Iron Steel Industrial. In Indonesia, areas
daerah-daerah tersebut salah satunya berada di daerah
along the southern coast of Java, known to have the
Pantai Goa Cemara, Kecamatan Sanden, Kabupaten Bantul,
potential for iron sand deposits are large enough. Iron sand

deposits existence in this area are generally derived from

volcanic products volcanic which located in the north. Iron First line
sand depositions are then transported through the rivers that
end along the southern coast of Java. Among the areas that
have the potential of iron sand deposits are one of them in
coastal areas in Pantai Goa Cemara, Sanden district, Bantul
regency, province of Yogyakarta Special Region.

Pantai Goa Cemara is located approximately 20 km to the

south of the city of Yogyakarta. Morphologically of study
area such as sand dune coastal plains and regional

.
Resistivity model as shown above is a cross-sectional
images of subsurface resistivity and interpretation of the
distribution and the thickness of iron sands on the first line.
This line has 220 m in length and N 20 E trend. On this
line iron sand is spread almost throughout the orbit. Iron
sand on the line has a resistivity range value of 100 m
500 m with thickness of 2-4 m lenses towards point. Iron
sand is generally found in dune areas.

The methodology including literature review, then surface
geological mapping and subsurface geological mapping
using the form Geoelectric geophysical methods, on-site
sampling test and analysis of magnetism degree in
laboratory. After all the raw data from Geoelectric survey
are tabulated and processed using RES2DINV, meanwhile
obtaining magnetism degree data are processed by Surfer
software to determine the distribution pattern and thickness.
Result and Discussion
distribution interpretation
Resistivity model as shown above is a cross-sectional
images of subsurface resistivity and interpretation of the
distribution and the thickness of iron sands on the second
line. This line has 240 m in length and N 20 E trend. On
this line iron sand is spread almost throughout the line. Iron
sand on the line has a resistivity range value of 200 m -
700 m with thickness of 2-4 m lenses towards point. Iron
sand is generally found in dune areas.

distribution interpretation
Resistivity model as shown above is a cross-sectional
images of subsurface resistivity and interpretation of the
distribution and the thickness of iron sands on the third
line. This line has 280 m in length and N 20 E trend. On
this line iron sand is spread almost throughout the line. Iron
sand on the line has a resistivity range value of 100 m -
500 m with thickness of 0.5-5 m lenses towards point.
Iron sand is generally found in dune areas.
Figure 5: Magnetism degree pattern of study area
From the analysis of magnetism degree known that study
area has range value of 15.40% - 43.50%. From the map of
magnetic anomalies degree above indicated that the
distribution of iron sand in the middle of southeast -
southwest direction has the lowest degree of magnetism
with higher degrees magnetism surrounding.
Conclusions
Based on analysis result can be simplified that pantai Goa
Cemara, Sanden district, Bantul regency, province of
Yogyakarta Special Region has potential of iron sand with
the following details:
1. Distribution of iron sand deposits are found along the
line on the form of both lenses or spotted based on the
results of geophysical measurements seen from the
resistivity showing indication of iron sand with resistivity
range value of 100 - 700 m.
2. The thickness of iron sand in the study area ranges of 0.5
to 5 meters.
3. Magnetism degree of iron sand deposits on the study
area ranges of 15.40% - 43.50%.
More geophysical and geological examine is needed to find
out more details about the existing reserve resources.
