Abstract

The Janggun Pb-Zn deposit has been known one of the four largest deposits (Yeonhwa, Shinyemi, Uljin) in South Korea. The geology of this deposit consists of Precambrian Weonnam formation, Yulri group, Paleozoic Jangsan formation, Dueumri formation, Janggum limestone formation, Dongsugok formation, Jaesan formation and Mesozoic Dongwhachi formation and Chungyang granite. This Pb-Zn deposit is hydrothermal replacement deposit in Paleozoic Janggum limestone formation. The wallrock alteration that is remarkably recognized with Pb-Zn mineralization at this deposit consists of mainly rhodochrositization and dolomitization with minor of pyritization, sericitization and chloritization. Wallrock alteration is divided into the five zones (Pb-Zn orebody -> rhodochrosite zone -> dolomite zone -> dolomitic limestone zone -> limestone or dolomitic marble) from orebody to wallrock. The white mica from wallrock alteration occurs as fine or medium aggregate associated with Ca-dolomite, Ferroan ankerite, sideroplesite, rutile, apatite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, quartz, chlorite and calcite. The structural formular of white mica from wallrock alteration is (K0.77-0.62Na0.03-0.00Ca0.03-0.00Ba0.00Sr0.01)0.82-0.64(Al1.72-1.48Mg0.48-0.20Fe0.04-0.01Mn0.03-0.00Ti0.01-0.00Cr0.00As0.01-0.00Co0.03-0.00Zn0.03-0.00Pb0.05-0.00Ni0.01-0.00)2.07-1.92 (Si3.43-3.33Al0.67-0.57)4.00O10(OH1.94-1.80F0.20-0.06)2.00. It indicated that white mica from wallrock alteration has less K, Na and Ca, and more Si than theoretical dioctahedral micas. The white micas from wallrock alteration of Janggun Pb-Zn deposit, Yeonhwa 1 Pb-Zn deposit and Baekjeon Au-Ag deposit, and limestone of Gumoonso area correspond to muscovite and phengite and white mica from wallrock alteration of Dunjeon Au-Ag deposit corresponds to muscovite. Compositional variations in white mica from wallrock alteration of these deposits and limeston of Gumoonso area are caused by mainly phengitic or Tschermark substitution mechanism (Janggun Pb-Zn deposit), mainly phengitic or Tschermark substitution and partly illitic substitution mechanism (Yeonhwa 1 Pb-Zn deposit, Dunjeon Au-Ag deposit and Baekjeon Au-Ag deposit), and mainly phengitic or Tschermark substitution and partly illitic substitution or Na+ <-> K+ substitution mechanism (Gumoonso area).

장군 연-아연 광상은 남한의 4대(연화 광상, 신예미 광상, 울진 광상) 연-아연 광상중의 하나이었다. 이 광상 지질은 선캠브리아기의 원남층, 율리층군, 캠브리안기내지 오도비스기의 장산규암층, 두음리층, 장군 석회암층, 석탄기내지 이엽기의 동수곡층, 재산층, 쥐라기의 동화지층 및 이들을 관입한 중생대의 춘양화강암류로 구성된다. 이 연-아연 광상은 고생대 캠브리안기내지 오도비스기의 장군석회암층에 배태되는 열수교대형 광상에 해당된다. 이 광상의 연-아연 광화작용과 관련된 모암변질작용은 주로 능망간석화작용과 돌로마이트화 작용이 관찰되나 황철석화작용, 견운모화작용 및 녹니석화작용 등도 관찰된다. 모암변질작용은 연-아연 광체 에서 모암으로 감에 따라 연-아연 광체 -> 능망간석대 -> 돌로마이트대 -> 돌로마이트질 석회암대 -> 석회암 및 돌로마이트 대리암 변화된다. 백색운모는 모암변질대(능망간석화작용과 돌로마이트화작용)에서 Ca-돌로마이트, Ferroan ankerite, sideroplesite, 금홍석, 인회석, 유비철석, 황철석, 섬아연석, 방연석, 석영, 녹니석 및 방해석 등과 함께 중립내지 세립질 입단으로 산출된다. 이 백색운모의 화학조성은(K0.77-0.62Na0.03-0.00Ca0.03-0.00Ba0.00Sr0.01)0.82-0.64(Al1.72-1.48Mg0.48-0.20Fe0.04-0.01Mn0.03-0.00Ti0.01-0.00Cr0.00As0.01-0.00Co0.03-0.00Zn0.03-0.00Pb0.05-0.00Ni0.01-0.00)2.07-1.92 (Si3.43-3.33Al0.67-0.57)4.00O10(OH1.94-1.80F0.20-0.06)2.00로써 이론적인 이중팔면체형 운모류 값보다 Si가 높고 K, Na, Ca는 낮다. 또한 장군 연-아연 광상, 연화1 연-아연 광상 및 백전 금-은 광상의 모암변질대와 구문소일대 석회암에서 산출되는 백색운모는 백운모와 팬자이트에 해당되나 둔전 금-은 광상의 모암변질대에서 산출되는 백색운모는 백운모에 해당된다. 더불어 이들 광상의 모암변질대 및 구문소일대 석회암에서 산출되는 백색운모의 화학조성 변화는 주로 팬자이틱 또는 Tschermark 치환 메카니즘(장군 연-아연 광상), 주로 팬자이틱 또는 Tschermark 치환과 일부 illitic 치환 메카니즘(연화1 연-아연 광상, 둔전 금-은 광상, 백전 금-은 광상) 및 주로 팬자이틱 또는 Tschermark 치환과 일부 illitic 치환 및 Na+ <-> K+ 치환 메카니즘(구문소일대)에 의해 일어났음을 알 수 있다.
