| Summary: | The Sunda-Banda Arc is a magmatic arc rich in mineral deposits in Indonesia,
one of which is porphyry copper deposits. However, the distribution of the deposit
in this arc is uneven. The research area is located in two different locations, the
first location is the Batu Hijau Intrusion Complex located on Sumbawa Island,
West Nusa Tenggara Province while the second location is in the Tana Daro
Intrusion Complex located on Sumba Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The
Batu Hijau and Tana Daro Intrusion Complexes are Tertiary intrusion complexes
located on the Sunda-Banda Arc. However, the magma fertility of the two
complexes is different. Batu Hijau is an intrusion complex associated with
porphyry copper deposit, while Tana Daro is a barren intrusion complex. The aim
of this study is to compare the petrogenesis and characteristics of magma which
affect the differences in magma fertility in the two locations based on geochemical
data so that it is expected to be a tool for regional exploration vectoring in
Indonesia. The method used is secondary data analysis using the element
variation diagrams. The result of the petrogenesis analysis shows that Batu Hijau
and Tana Daro complexes are located in island arc tectonic setting. The Batu
Hijau complex contains tholeiitic and calc-alkaline magma series while Tana
Daro is calc-alkaline. The magma source of the two complexes comes from the
metasomatized mantle wedge but there is a source modification in Batu Hijau.
This differentiates the crystal fractionation behavior of the two complexes as
indicated by the increasing Sr/Y value in Batu Hijau and decreasing Sr/Y value in
Tana Daro along with differentiation. The distinguishing magma characteristic of
mineralization fertility in the two complexes is the water content and oxygen
fugacity in the magma. The Batu Hijau complex has higher water content and
oxygen fugacity up to FMQ+2 than the Tana Daro complex.
