A group of 16 $Zn+Pb{\pm}Ag$ deposits distributed in the Pyeongchang-Jucheon area, Kangwon-do, South Korea, were semi-regionally investigated. These deposits are contact metasomatic and/or hydrothermal replacement types hosted in the carbonate-dominated Cambrian Machari Formation and Ordovician Ibtanri Formation, and also in the carbonate interbeds of the Precambrian argillic metasediments. Comparing some key aspects of the individual deposits, it is found that the ore deposits hosted in the Machari and Ibtanri Formations are mostly of steeply-dipping chimneys with or without skarn minerals and are rich in Ag and Pb>Zn in metal grade whereas those occuring in the carbonate interbeds of the Precambrian argillic metasediments are gently-dipping conformable lenticular orebodies mostly with skarn minerals and are generally poor in Ag and Zn>Pb. The skarn mineralization in the area appears to have occurred during the lower Cretaceous (118.7Ma) to mid-Cretaceous (107.8Ma) time assumed from the K-Ar dates of the Dowon and Pyeongchang granites which are closely associated with the skarn ore deposits. The Rb/Ba/Sr ratios of these granites indicate that they are of strongly differentiated anomalous granites, and the Nb vs. Y and Rb vs. Y+Nb plots fall on the field of volcanic arc setting. The contact aureoles are zoned, giving the sequence in order of increasing distance from igneous contact: garnet-wollastonite, granet-wollastonite-clinopyroxene and garnet-clinopyroxene in such as the Pyeongchang and Yeonwol 114 areas. Electron microprobe analyses reveal that garnets and clinopyroxenes are generally low in Fe and Mn. Garnets are grossular to intermediate grandite except for those from the Ogryong exoskarn which are richer in andradite, pyrope and spessartine fractions. This indicates that the oxidation state of skarn-forming environment at Ogryong was higher than at the other deposits. Clinopyroxenes are mostly salitic except for those from the Ogryong exoskarn which involve considerable amounts of hedenbergite and johansenite fractions. The ${\delta}^{18}O$ value of Jurassic biotite granite at Ogryong is higher (+10.21‰) than that of Cretaceous one at Chodun (+8.41‰). The ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of carbonate rocks range from -0.89‰ to 0.68‰ and the ${\delta}^{18}O$ values range from +11.91‰ to + 19.34‰ indicating that these carbonate rocks are of marine origin. However, the ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of skarn calcite and vein calcite are -4.80‰ and -12.92‰, and the ${\delta}^{18}O$ values are +5.56‰ and +10.32‰, respectively, indicating that these calcites are of hydrothermal origin. The ${\delta}^{34}S$ values of sulfide minerals range from +4.4‰ to +8.7‰ suggesting that the sulfurs are of magmatic origin.

The Samkwang mine is one of gold deposits distributed mainly in the southwestern province (Chungnam) of the Korean peninsula. Golds occur in quartz veins aged of $223{\pm}4MA$ according to K-Ar age dating from muscovite in a pegmatitic quartz vein. Quantz veins intrude Precambrian biotite-granite gneiss and mica schist of unknown age. Fluid inclusions in the quartz show a range of homogenization temperatures from 159 to $274^{\circ}C$. A calculated temperature from the isotopes of the galena-sphalerite pair is $375^{\circ}C$. Two phases-fluid inclusions homogenized either by liquid or vapor phase are frequently observed in specimens over $260^{\circ}C$, which may indicate the boiling of the fluids. Pressure of formation of the quartz veins inferred by the homogenization temperatures of liquid-$CO_2$ bearing fluid is 1kb. Based on these data, it is assumed that the temperature of the formation of the Samkwang mine may lie in between $350^{\circ}-230^{\circ}C$. ${\delta}^{34}S_{{\Sigma}s}$ values of sulphide minerals show narrow range of +2.1 to +4.6, and show a trend of enrichments of $^{34}S$ in the fluid from deep to the surface. ${\delta}^{34}S_{{\Sigma}s}$ in the fluid estimated is less than 3 permil, suggesting sulphur fluid originated from the magma.

제주도의 지질은 다량의 현무암질 용암과 소량의 조면암질 용암으로 특징지워진다. 제주도는 지형적인 특징에 따라서, 용암대지, 순상형의 한라산 화산체 및 360여개 이상의 기생화군으로 구분된다. 이와같은 지형적인 특징은 제주도의 화산활동과 밀접한 관계를 갖는다. 조면암질 용암은 암석기재학적 및 산출상태의 특징에 따라서 백록담 구룹과 산방산 구룹으로 구분되며, 이들은 제주도의 화산층서 상, 하한선을 규정할 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 두 구룹의 조면암질 용암의 연대측정 및 고지자기 연구를 하였다. 산방산 구룹 조면암의 평균 연령은 $0.733{\pm}0.056M.Y.$을 나타내며, 이는 Brunches 정자극기와 Matuyama 역자극기 사이의 경계의 약간하부와 (0.69 M.Y.) 대비된다. 반면 백록담 구룹 조면암의 평균연령은 $0.025{\pm}0.008M.Y.$를 나타내며, Laschamp excursion, Lake Biwa excursion 또는 Lake Mono excursion 중 어느 horizon과 대비된다. 이들 두 조면암구룹은 위도 9'($0.15^{\circ}$)의 차이를 두고 분포하며, 연대는 0.71 M.Y.의 차를 나타낸다. 이러한 결과는, 두 구룹의 조면암류 용암이 같은 원천의 hot spot에서 분출된 것으로 가정한다면, 제주도를 포함한 lithosphere는 신생대 제 4기 동안에 약 2.3cm/y의 속도로 남쪽으로 이동하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The area of this study is located in the Sang dong district, Youngwol Gun, Kangwon Do, where the Ogcheon fold belt comes into contact with the Ryongnam massif. The area is covered by the Precambrian metasedimentary rocks of Yulri Group in the south from the line of Ungyosan-Maebongsan-Jansan-Taebaegsan Mountains and by the Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks of Choseon Supergroup in the north. The Choseon Supergroup unconformably overlies the Yulri group. Several granitic intrusives occur in the Precambrian and Cambro-Ordovician terrain. The purpose of this study is to clarify the geochronology, mineralogical composition, geochemical characteristics, petrogenesis and tectonic settings of the Precambrian granitic rocks, and to evaluate the P.T. conditions of granitic intrusions. The K/Ar ages obtained from the muscovite of Nonggeori Granite, Naedeogri granite and pegmatite intruded into the Yulri Group are Early Proterozoic ($1805{\pm}18Ma$ to $1642{\pm}23Ma$), and those from the migmatitic pegmatite are Late Carboniferous ($305{\pm}4Ma$), respectively. The Precambrian granitic rocks are characterized by the presence of muscovite, tourmaline and grey feldspar with faint lineation of mafic minerals. In terms of mineralogical and chemical composition, the granitic rocks are felsic, calc-alkalic, peraluminous and S-type (ilmenite-series). The geochemical characteristics of major and trace elements indicate that the granitic rocks belong to syn-collision setting at the compressional plate margin. They were formed by progressive melting of relatively homogeneous crustal materials under 1~3kb and $670^{\circ}{\sim}720^{\circ}C$ in aqueous fluid conditions, and the Naedeogri granite was more fractionated than the Nonggeori granite. During the Taebaeg disturbance, Nonggeori granite, Naedeogri granite and pegmatite were intruded and emplaced into the Yulri Group. Migmatitic pegmatite occurring in the southwestern area, however, gave much younger muscovite age than the pegmatite intruded into the Yulri Group in rest of the area did, that might be due to the regional metamorphism of the Post-Choseon disturbance. The Geodo granitic mass and the Imog granite were intruded during the Bulgugsa disturbance.

The ore deposit of the Ohtani mine is one of representatives of plutonic tungsten-tin veins related genetically to acidic magmatism of Late Cretaceous in the Inner zone of Southwest Japan. Based on macrostructures of vein filling, three major mineralization stages are distinguished by major tectonic breaks. The constituents of ore minerals are scheelite, cassiterite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, with small amounts of cubanite, stannite, galena, native bismuth, bismuthinite, arsenopyrite and pyrite. The relationship between the polymorphic variations of pyrrhotite and the kinds of the associated characteristic of ore mineral, in relation with hypogene mineralization, has been demonstrated. Pyrrhotite of stage I is predominantly of the hexagonal phase (Hpo>Mpo). Pyrrhotite of stage II is mainly of the monoclinic phase ($Hpo{\ll}Mpo$). Pyrrhotite of stage III is a single monoclinic phase ($Hpo{\ll}Mpo$). The compositions of the hexagonal pyrrhotite decrease in Fe content ranging from 47.44 atom % Fe in stage I to 46.88 atom % Fe in stage III.

페름기 이후 한국의 고지자기를 연구하기 위하여 영춘면 남쪽 단양 북쪽의 고방산층, 녹암층, 반송층군 및 하부남포층군, 충남탄전 일대의 하부남포층군, 왜관-경산 및 대구-고령사이의 경산누층군, 제주도 및 전곡의 현무암으로부터 577개의 암석시료를 133개의 지점에서 채취하였다. 각 지점으로부터 2~3개의 pilot specimen을 택하여 교류소자 실험과 열소자실험을 실시한 후 지질시대별 고지자기 방향을 구하였다. 페름기 이후 각 지질시대별 평균 고지자기 방향으로부터 apparent polar wandering path(APWP)를 구하였다. 본 연구로부터 얻은 APWP는 쥬라기말에 큰 불연속을 보였다. 페름기이후 고지자기자료에 의하면 한반도는 페름기에 북위 $13^{\circ}{\pm}7^{\circ}$, 쥬라기초의 북위 $25^{\circ}{\pm}9^{\circ}$에 위치하고 있었으며 그후 계속 북쪽으로 이동하여 쥬라기말에 아시아 대륙과 충돌 하였고, 이때 반시계 방향으로 약 $70^{\circ}$ 회전한 것으로 해석 되었다.
