Abstract

Lead isotopic compositions are analyzed from the sulfide minerals of the Yeonhwa, Janggun and Uljin deposits and from host limestone, intrusives, and basement rocks to reveal the source of Pb in these deposits. In the $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$ vs $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ plot, Galenas from the Yeonhwa mine display relatively well defined positive linear array, similar to the Precambrian basement rocks of the Korean peninsula. A galena sample from the Uljin mine, Janggun limestone and the basement rocks also follow the variation of Yeonhwa mine. However, ore minerals from the Janggun mine, having relatively low $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values, reveal offset from such trend toward lower $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values. Considering the fact that Mesozoic igneous rocks and ores within the Gyeongsang basin display considerably lower $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values than basement rocks of the Korean peninsula, the deviation of Janggun ore minerals can be interpreted as to reflect mixing between leads from old continental crustal materials and from Mesozoic igneous rocks with more mantle signature. The lead of the Yeonhwa and Uljin mine, following trend of Precambrian basement rather well, seems to have been originated mostly from such basement. However, regarding that they occupy low $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ side of the variation trend of the basement, the possibility of having some leads derived from the Mesozoic igneous rocks cannot be excluded.

연화, 장군 및 울진 Pb-Zn 광상에서 산출되는 납의 근원을 규명하기 위하여 방연석과 황철석 등의 황화광물과 주변의 석회암, 관입암 및 기반암 등에 대해 납 동위원소 분석을 실시하였다. $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb-^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ 그림에서 연화광산의 방연석들은 비교적 잘 정의되는 정(+)의 기울기를 갖는 직선 배열을 보이며, 한반도 선캠브리아 기저지각과 유사한 변화를 보인다. 울진광산의 방연석, 장군석회암 및 주변의 기저암체 역시 연화광산의 변화경향을 따른다. 그러나 연화광산에 비해 $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$값이 낮은 장군광산의 광석광물들은 연화광산의 변화경향으로부터 $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ 값이 낮은 쪽으로 벗어난다. 경상분지 내에서 산출되는 중생대 화성암 및 광상들이 한반도의 기저암체들에 비해 훨씬 낮은 $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ 값을 가지는 것을 참조할 때, 장군광산의 광석광물들이 보이는 변화는 기저암체의 오래된 지각물질로부터 용출된 납과 중생대 화성암들이 갖고 있던 보다 맨틀성분이 많이 포함된 납의 혼합을 반영하는 것으로 해석된다. 선캠브리아 기저지각의 변화경향을 비교적 잘 따르는 연화광산과 울진광산의 광석들에 포함된 납은 대부분 오래된 기저암체들로부터 유래한 것으로 보이나, 기저암체의 변화구역의 하단부에 위치하는 것을 고려할 때 중성대 화성암 기원의 납이 일정비율로 포함되었을 가능성을 배제할 수 없다.
