Recently, a large number of open-pit mines are planning to change their mining method to underground types because the environmental concerns and legal regulations are increased with a rise in the standard of living. The K silica mine, which is one of them and located in Kyunggi province, is planning the establishment of a vertical shaft which will be used for ore-pass channel in their new glory hole mining method. This vertical shaft will be designed to join with a horizontal gangway excavated from the ground level. In this new mining system, the excavated ore particles will be stored inside a shaft and transported out with a help of a conveyor belt. Therefore the hang-up of ore particles in a shaft, the control of gate at the bottom of a shaft, the installation of dog-leg at the gate should be investigated identically. In this study, the PFC-2D code which is one of the discrete element numerical methods has been applied to simulate the particle flow mechanism in a shaft, and the optimum mine design has been proposed to maximize the productivity and to minimize the system damage.

The gold ore deposits of Nakcheon, Gongyeong and Dongmyeong mine in the Imgye district are E-W trending fissure filling veins emplaced in Precambrian Jungbongsan granite and sedimentary rocks of Cambrian Yangdeog group. The K-Ar age for vein alteration sericite and vein laced muscovite are 73 and 93 Ma, respectively. Vein structure and mineralogy indicate the three distinct depositional stages: I) basemetal sulfides and tin minerals, II) gold-basemeatl sulfides, III) gold-silver-basemetal sulfides. Major gold and silver ore minerals are electrum, native silver, pyrargyrite and argentite. Fluid inclusion data indicate that filling temperatures were from $350^{\circ}C$ to $190^{\circ}C$ through stage I, II and III. Salinities were in the range of 0.0~9.5 NaCl eq.wt.% and do not reveal any systematic trend. Intermittent boiling of ore fluid during stage I is indicated by fluid inclusions in quartz. Fluid pressure during stage I which is estimated from fluid inclusions showing boiling evidence range from 50 to 100 bars. Gold ore deposits of the Imgye district were formed under higher temperatures and lower sulfur fugacities compared with the Eunchi silver ore deposits about 8 Km apart from the Imgye district.

Extensive base-metal and/or gold bearing ore mineralizations occur in the Pacitan mineralized district of the south western portions in the East Java, Indonesia. Metallic ore bodies in the Pacitan mineralized district are classified into two major types: 1) skarn type replacement ore bodies, 2) fissure filling hydrothermal ore bodies. Skarn type replacement ore bodies are developed typically along bedding planes of limestone as wall rock around the quartz porphyry and are composed mineralogically of skarn minerals, magnetite, and base metal sulfides. Hydrothermal ore bodies differ mineralogically in relation to distance from the quartz porphyry as source igneous rock. Hydrothermal ore bodies in the district are porphyry style Cu-Zn-bearing stockworks as proximal ore mineralization and Pb-Zn(-Au)-bearing fissure filling hydrothermal veins as distal ore mineralization. Sulfur isotope compositions in the sulfides from skarn and hydrothermal ore bodies range from 6.7 to 8.2‰ and from 0.1 to 7.9‰, respectively. The calculated ${\delta}^{34}S$ values of $H_2S$ in skarn-forming and hydrothermal fluids are 0.9 to 7.1‰ (5.6-7.1‰ for skarn-hosted sulfides and 0.9-6.8‰ for sulfides from hydrothermal deposits). The change from skarn to hydrothermal mineralization would have resulted in increased $SO_4/H_2S$ ratios and corresponding decreases in ${\delta}^{34}S$ values of $H_2S$. The calculated ${\delta}^{18}O$ water values are: skarn magnetite, 9.6 and 9.7‰; skarn quartz, 6.3-9.6‰; skarn calcite, 4.7 and 5.8‰; stockwork quartz, 3.0-7.7‰; stockwork calcite, 1.2 and 2.0‰; vein quartz, -3.9 - 6.7‰. The calculated ${\delta}^{18}O_{water}$ values decrease progressively with variety of deposit types (from skarn through stockwork to vein), increasing paragenetic time and decreasing temperature. This indicates the progressively increasing involvement of isotopically less-evolved meteoric waters in the Pacitan hydrothermal system. The ranges of ${\delta}D_{water}$ values are from -65 to -88‰: skarn, -67 to -84‰; stockwork, -65 and -76‰; vein, -66 to -88‰. The isotopic compositions of fluids in the Pacitan hydrothermal system show a progressive shift from magmatic hydrothermal dominance in the skarn and early hydrothermal ore mineralization periods toward meteoric hydrothermal dominance in the late ore mineralization periods.

The Tongyeong gold-silver deposits is located in Chungmu City, the southern end of Korean peninsula. The ore deposits is epithermal gold-silver vein emplaced in late Cretaceous andesite, andesitic pyroclastics and quartz porphyry. Ore is composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, electrum, argentian tetrahedrite, Cu-Ag-sulfides, quartz and rhodochrosite. Filling temperature of fluid inclusions in quartz ranges from 134 to $223^{\circ}C$ and salinity ranges from 1.2 to 3.8 weight % equivalent to NaCl.

Concepts on mineral association, mineral paragenesis, and mineralization stage relating to macrostructures of vein filling in ore veins are briefly discussed. As an example of plutonic ore vein, macrostructures of vein filling of plutonic tungsten-tin-copper vein at the Ohtani mine, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, one of representatives of plutonic tungsten-tin vein related genetically to acidic magmatism of late Cretaceous in the Inner zone of Southwest Japan, are examined. Based on macrostructures of vein filling, three major mineralization stages, are distinguished by major tectonic breaks. Sequence of mineralization, characteristic features of each mineralization stage, and variations of filling temperature and salinity ranges of fluid inclusions in minerals from stage I to stage III are summarized.

Various types of buckets are used as unloading facilities for raw material at unloading wharfs. Scissors type buckets, among them, has been being used widely because of their short cycle time and structural simplicity. However, the scooping capacity, especially for hardened remainder ore, of some buckets are unsatisfactory because of poor design concept of the buckets. In this study, the effects of the design parameters on the scooping performance of the buckets are investigated under kinematic and dynamic analysis. Further, the schemes and design guidelines for designing new scissors type buckets are also presented to improve ore scooping capacity for hardened remainder ore.

In the iron ore sinter process, temperature distribution pattern in sintering bed is related with productivity and quality of sintered ore. Evenly heat distribution make the uniform quality of sintered ore but in normal operating condition, upper part of bed has lack of heat and scarce quality of sintered ore, thus yeild rate is decreased and productivity is diminished. Therefore, using the additional fuel for increasing quality and flue gas recirculation for increasing productivity are considered and effect of both processes are discussed.

Operation parameters for large scale industrial facility such as iron making plant are carefully selected through elaborate tests and monitoring rather than through a mathematical modeling. One of the recent progresses for better energy utilization in iron ore sintering process is the distribution pattern of fuel inside a macro particle which is formed with fines of iron ore, coke and limestone. Results of model tests which have been used as a basis for the improved operation in the field are introduced and a theoretical modeling study is presented to supplement the experiment-based approach with fundamental arguments of physical modeling, which enables predictive computation beyond the limited region of tests and adjustment. A single fuel particle model along with one-dimensional bed combustion model of solid particles are utilized, and thermal processes of combustion and heat transfer are found to be dominant consideration in the discussions of productivity and energy utilization in the sintering process.
