Abstract: Hydrothermal alterations formed in the research area are carefully grouped into three types of alteration zoning and they are argillic alteration, propylitic alteration and sub-propylitic alteration. The mineralization then is carefully classified as pyrite (FeS2 ), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2 ), galena (Pbs), bornite (Cu5FeS2 ). In the research area, the mineralization process is controlled by geological structure such as fault and joint. The appearance of the mineralization is abundant and can be found many fulfilling the joint zone mainly shear joint trending Northeast-Southwest and Northwest-Southeast, the direction of joint sharpness measured in the field relatively trending North-South. This study will emphasize on the measurement and detailed analysis to know more about the gold mineralization process and other minerals controlled by structures patterns. The structural control analysis can really be a good helping hand in locating the mineralized areas because basically the activity and geological structure control process are corridor for magma and the its rest compound that brings minerals, so, the methods of mineral ores exploration by structure control can be used in determining ore gold mineralized deposits precipitate on gold deposits system and other minerals on a different area.
