Abstract
Tanjung Batu has potential subsurface minerals in the form of Andesite rocks. Andesite can be used appropriately for infrastructure with excellent physical features, including hardness, compressive strength, density, as well as the water and weather resistance level. Andesite is one type of igneous rock that is widely used in the construction sector, especially infrastructure such as roads, bridges, housing, airports, and seaports. In mining, the depth of mineral exploration usually using borehole method. In this study used electrical resistivity method with dipole-dipole configurations. Electrical resistivity is also capable for identifying Andesite rocks in subsurface without drilling the area because each rock has a different rock resistivity value. In this study used 240 meters of track and 20 meters space of electrodes. Based on 2D Imaging, range of Andesite resistivity in this area was 170 - >1095 Ωm. Andesite depth was at 3.42, 10.6, 18.5 and - 27.2 m.
