Abstract
Nickel deposits operated by PT Antam Tbk, in pomalaa are dominated by serpentinized harzburgite formed from weathered ultramafic rock. The laterization divided the nickel zone into limonite, saprolite and bedrock. The geological domain of nickel laterite rocks consists of Harzburgite, Dunit, Serpentinite and Undifferentiated Serpentinite which have different mineral compositions and physical characteristics. Therefore, an analysis of physical and mechanical properties was carried out to determine whether the geological domain and deposit zone are realated to the physical and mechanical properties. The data was collected from four mining fronts based on the domain and deposit zone. It was then analyzed in the laboratory to be tested by savaral tests such as physical properties, shear and Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) tests. For physical rock properties, Undifferentiated Serpentinite domain in limonite zone result in smaller value than that of Saprolite. While for mechanical properties, UCS of dunite domain in saprolite zone is relatively higher than that in limonite zone. In Harzburgit domain, the three zones, including bed rock show low cohesion. Furthermore, all domains in bedrock zone contain high cohesion. In conclusion, rock physical and mechanical properties can be used to represent geological domain and deposit zone
