Abstract

The Gagok mine is a contact metasomatic deposit, located at Gagok-myeon, Samcheok city and Cheoram-dong, Taebaek city, Gangwon province. The deposit lies within the limestone of Myobong and Pungchon formations, and exists the contact of intrusive granite porphyry. In order to determine the direction and extension of mineralization in the gallery and around the entrance of the ore deposit, we used the ground magnetic survey, the direct current (dc) resistivity survey using dipole-dipole array, and resistivity tomography survey. The ground magnetic survey did not detect the anomalous zone due to ore deposit, while the dc resistivity survey and resistivity tomography survey were successful in delineating the anomalous zone related to the extension of fault toward $N50^{\circ}W$.

강원도 삼척시 가곡면과 태백시 철암동에 위치한 가곡광산은 묘봉층 및 풍촌층내의 석회암과 화강반암의 접촉부에 배태된 접촉교대광산이다. 본 광산에서 지구물리탐사는 갱내 및 광산 주변부에 광화대의 부존 여부와 그 연장선을 파악하기 위하여 갱구 부근에서 자력탐사, 갱내에서 전기비저항 탐사 및 갱도-갱도 전기비저항 토모그래피탐사를 실시하였다. 자력탐사는 광화대의 영향으로 인한 이상대가 확연히 나타나지 않았지만, 전기비저항 탐사 및 토모그래피 탐사는 광화대에 대한 영상이 성공적으로 반영되었는데, 이는 본 연구지역에 존재하는 $N50^{\circ}W$계의 단층 연장선과 관련된 것으로 해석되어진다.
