일반적으로 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 ANFO를 사용하여 주로 시행되어지고 있다. Bulk장전 시스템의 도입으로 장약, 발파가 간편하여 효과적으로 발파를 할 수 있고 그 비용도 저렴하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 수공에서의 장약이 불가능하고 낮은 위력으로 인해 저항선 및 공간격의 제한이 커서 이에 따르는 발파효율의 저하가 불가피 하였다. 본 연구는 현재 해외에서 일반화되어 사용되고 있는 Bulk EMX(HiMEX)폭약을 국내 현장에 적용함으로 그 적용 방법과 이점을 규명하고자 시행되었다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 적정 패턴을 산출하기 위해 기존의 발파 패턴과 비교하여 시험발파를 시행하여 저항선 및 공간격을 산정 하였으며 이를 토대로 해서 성신양회, 현대시멘트 영월사업소와 함께 장기간 시험발파를 실시하고 그 자료를 검증하였다. 그 결과 HiMEX는 초유폭약에 비해 비중이 높아 공당 장약량은 45%정도 증가하나, 1발파 당 생산 물량이 증가하여 5%이상의 장약량 감소효과를 볼 수 있었다. 또한 35∼50%정도의 천공비용이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

예산-공주-청양 지역에는 여러 큰 규모의 활석 광상이 분포한다. 이 지역에서 산출되는 활석 광석은 초염기성암 기원의 사문암이 열수변질작용을 받아서 주로 생성된 것으로알려져 있으며 녹니석, 운모, 각섬석 등의 규산염 광물들은 불순물로 다량 함유하고 있다. 활성 광석에 포함되어 있는 이들 함철규산염 광물들을 분리해 내고 활석 광석의 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 고구려배자력분리방법을 실험적으로 적용함으로써 활석 광석의 정제법을 강구하고자 하였다. 활석광석을 구성하고 있는 광물들의 자기적, 광물학적 특성을 토대로 하여 인공 혼합 표준 시료와 활석 광석 시료를 준비하고 이들을 대상으로 각각 실험하였다. 정제 실험 결과 고구배자력분리기를 통과한 정광의 경우 활석의 양이 증가하였고 다른 불순광물들의 양은 현저히 감소하였으며 활석 광석의 백색도에 있어서는 대흥광산의 원광석의 경우 60.6에서 65.5로, 평안광산의 경우 61.6에서 65.0으로, 신양광산의 경우 71.2에서 74.5로 향상되었다.

국내의 석탄자원은 1989년부터 비경제 탄광은 폐광시키고 경제성 있는 탄광을 육성하는 석탄산업 합리화시책을 실시하여, 전국 343개의 탄광이 폐광되어 현재는 5개의 탄광만이 가행되고 있다. 이들 가행광산중 강원도 삼척시 도계읍에 위치한 채탄작업을 위한 갱구 입구의 작업지역(DCM, Dogye coal mine)을 선정하여 강우 유출수 모니터링을 시행하였다. DCM지역의 수문분석 결과 연강우량의 83%는 일 강우 80 mm 이하에서 발생하였다. 또한 연강우량의 50% 이상이 40 mm 이하의 강우계급에서 발생하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연간 강우횟수는 약 90회 정도 발생하고 있으며, 평균적으로 4일에 1회의 강우가 발생하였다. 또한 100 mm 이상의 강우도 연평균 강수량의 13.78%를 차지하고 있어 집중호우가 총 강우량에 미치는 영향이 작지 않음을 나타냈다. 비점오염의 배출은 강우량에 의해 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 기상이변으로 게릴라성 집중호우가 많이 발생하는 요즘 큰 강우사상에 대하여 많은 대비를 해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

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.

In order to estimate the preliminary development feasibility according to the commodity, the content of 8 strategic metallic commoditites(Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mo, W, Au, U) in 68 ore specimens obtained from 34 metallic mines within the Taebaegsan-Hwanggangri mineralized zone were analyzed. Analytical results are as follows. The ore specimen of Sangdong mine contained 23% copper(cut-off grade=0.7%) and those of Cheongil and Samhwanghak mines contained average 5% zinc(cut-off grade=2.0%). Especially, the detailed investigation on the above-mentioned mines is required. And, in case of molybdenum(cut-off grade=0.02%) content in Yeonhwa No. 2(0.04%) and Hong-cheon mine(0.02%), and lead(cut-off grade=0.58%) content in Wongasa mine(0.70%), and gold(cut-off grade=10ppm) content in Dongmyoung(279ppm) and Samhwanghak mine(251ppm), it is required to elastically carry out the revaluation on reopening of mines in terms of the international metal price. On the other hand, in case of uranium, iron and tungsten, it is thought that there are no mines with the development potential value in this study.

Drought indices, such as PDSI (palmer Drought Severity Index), SWSI (Surface Water Supply Index) and SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), have been developed to assess and forecast an intensity of drought. To find the applicability of groundwater level data to a drought assessment, a correlation analysis between SPI and groundwater levels was conducted for each time series at a drought season in 2001. The comparative results between SPI and groundwater levels of shallow wells of three national groundwater monitoring stations, Chungju Gageum, Yangpyung Gaegun, and Yeongju Munjeong, show that these two factors are highly correlated. In case of SPI with a duration of 1 month, cross-correlation coefficients between two factors are 0.843 at Chungju Gageum, 0.825 at Yangpyung Gaegun, and 0.737 at Yeongju Munjeong. The time lag between peak values of two factors is nearly zero in case of SPI with a duration of 1 month, which means that groundwater level fluctuation is similar to SPI values. Moreover, in case of SPI with a duration of 3 month, it is found that groundwater level can be a leading indicator to predict the SPI values I week later. Some of the national groundwater monitoring stations can be designated as DIW (Drought Index Well) based on the detailed survey of site characteristics and also new DIWs need to be drilled to assess and forecast the drought in this country.

Air deck charge blast methods have been applied to improve the fragmentation in open cut bench blastings for mining developments. However, during large scale bench blasting operations, there exist some problems such as boulder productions due to explosive charge concentration. Especially, in case of lime stone mining, when air deck method is applied, there has been unintentionally concentrated on charging because the inside holes are often broken by erosion and decomposition. In this study, compared with general blasting, air deck blasting has been focused in lime stone mining. In other to maximize its efficiency, inside hole was examined by endoscope in advance and deck charge using air tube was applied to the section in which concentration might be taken place. Blasting efficiency, fragmentation, charging reduction rate, and total working hours (from charging to blasting) were the main object for comparing, and as a result, air deck was more efficient then the general blasting in all aspects except total working hours.

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 $N50^{\circ}W$.

The status of heavy metal contamination was investigated using chemical analyses of stream waters and sediments obtained from Samsanjeil and Sambong Cu mining area in Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. In addition, the degree and the environmental risk of heavy metal contamination in stream sediments was assessed through pollution index (Pl) and danger index (DI) based on total digestion by aqua regia and fractionation of heavy metal contaminants by sequential extraction, respectively. Not only the degree of heavy metal contamination was significantly higher in Samsanjeil area than in Sambong area, but its environmental risk was also revealed much more serious in Samsanjeil area than in Sambong area. The differences in status and level of contamination and environmental risk between both two mining areas may be attributed to existence of contamination source and geology. Acid mine drainage is continuously discharged and flows into the stream in Samsanjeil mining area, and it makes the heavy metal contamination in the stream more deteriorated than in Sambong mining area in which acid mine drainage is not produced. In addition, the geology of Samsanjeil mining area is mainly comprised of andesitic rocks including a small amount of calcite and having lower pH buffering capacity fer acid mine drainage, and it is likely that the heavy metal contamination cannot be naturally attenuated in streams. On the contrary, the main geology of Sambong mining area consists of pyroclastic sedimentary Goseong formation containing a high content of carbonates, particularly calcite, and it seems that these carbonates of high pH buffering capacity prevent the heavy metal contamination from proceeding downstream in stream within that area.
