Fluid Inclusion and Mineral Alteration of the Rorah Kadal Vein, At Cibaliung Gold Mine, Western Java, Indonesia

The Cibaliung gold mine is located in Western Java, Indonesia (Figure 1). The mine is operated by PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya since 2010. Gold metal reserves are over 12,800 kg and has an estimated mine life of six years. The exploration is expanding to surrounding prospect as well to get additional reserve. There are numerous vein systems within the Cibaliung area, such as Rorah Kadal vein with trending parallel to sub parallel of the currently mine, Cikoneng ore shoot. The Cikoneng ore shoot in the northern part was discovered in 1992, and the Cibitung shoot southern was discovered in 1997 (Prihatmoko et al., 2004). The Rorah Kadal vein is one of the veins located about 700m south of the Cibitung ore-shoot.
