Abstract

Reflectance spectroscopy is one of the nondestructive methods of mineral identification and is one of the basic principles in the remote sensing analysis using optical sensors. This research aimed at applying reflectance spectroscopy at 350–2,500 nm wavelength range for samples containing rare earth elements (REE) and radioactive minerals. Samples were taken from several locations in South Bangka and Mamuju that had previously been identified as potential location of REE and radioactive-bearing minerals. Reflectance data shows that there are absorption characteristics for REE-bearing minerals; monazite, zircon, and xenotime minerals especially from tailings and tin ore concentrate for the samples from South Bangka. The key wavelengths are specifically in the visible-near infrared range (VNIR; 400–1300 nm). For the samples from Mamuju, which is known as radioactive mineral prospecting areas, spectral characteristics provide information that there are spectral signatures in the shortwave infrared range (1,300–2,500 nm). The results of major mineral interpretations include clay minerals, sulfates, NH4 species, and other minerals containing Al-OH. However, some samples at the VNIR wavelength identified as iron oxide/hydroxide minerals. It is hoped that these results can be useful for REE and radioactive exploration mapping using remote sensing methods.
