Most of the gold (-silver) vein deposits at Yeongdong District are mainly distributed in the precambrian metamorphic rocks. Based on the Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratios, the chemical composition of electrum and the associated sulfides, the gold(-silver) deposits at Yeongdong District may be classified into 4 classes: pyrrhotite - type gold deposits( I), pyrite - type gold deposits (IT A; massive vein), pyrite - type gold deposits (II B; nonmassive vein) and argentite - type gold - silver deposits(III). The chemical study on electrum(including native gold) revealed that Au content (2.8 to 92.4 atomic%) of electrums varies very widely for different classes of deposits. The Au content of electrum associated with pyrrhotite (Class I), ranging from 47.1 to 92.4 atomic% Au, is clearly higher than that associated with pyrite (Classes IIA, IIB and III). In contrast, classes I, II, and III deposits do not show clear differences in Au content of electrum. In general, pyrrhotite - type gold deposits(I) are characterized by features such as simply massive vein morphology, low values in the Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratios, the absence or rarity of silver - bearing minerals except electrum, and distinctively simple mineralogy. Although the geological and mineralogical features and vein morphology of pyrite - type gold deposits(IIA)are very similar to those of pyrrhotite - type gold deposits (I), Class II A deposits reveal significant differences in the associated iron sulfide (i. e. pyrite) with electrum and Au content of electrum. The Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratios from Class II A deposits are relatively slightly higher than those from Class I deposits. Pyrite - type gold deposits(II B) and argentite - type gold - silver deposits (III) have many common features; complex vein morphology, medium to high values in the Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratios and the associated iron sulfide (i. e. pyrite). In contrast to Class II B deposits, Class III deposits have significantly high Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratios. It indicates distinct difference in the abundance of silver minerals (i. e. native silver and argentite). The fluid inclusion analyses and mineralogical data of electrum tarnish method indicate that the gold mineralization of Classes I and II A deposits was deposited at temperatures between $230^{\circ}$ and $370^{\circ}C$, whereas the gold (-silver) mineralization of Classes ITB and ill formed from the temperature range of $150^{\circ}-290^{\circ}C$. Therefore, Classes I and IT A deposits have been formed at higher temperature condition and/or deeper positions than Classes IIB and III.

We report on the preparation of iron pyrite ($FeS_2$) using pulsed electron ablation of two targets, namely, a mixture of sulfur and iron compound target, and a natural iron pyrite target. Thin films of around 50 nm in thickness have been deposited on glass substrates under Argon background gas at 3 mTorr, and at a substrate temperature of up to $450^{\circ}C$. The thin films have been analyzed chemically and examined structurally using x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and visible Raman spectroscopy. The morphology and thickness of the films have been assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and visible spectroscopic reflectance. The preliminary findings, using a synthetic target, show the presence of iron pyrite with increasing proportion as substrate temperature is increased from $150^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$. The data have not shown any evidence of pyrite in the deposited films from a natural target.

Objectives : Pyrite is one of the important prescriptions that has been used in oriental medicine for healing of fracture. It is reasonable, therefore, to postulate that native copper affects the process of bone metabolism and bone formation. The purpose of this study is to discover the effect of Pyrite on the healing of tibia fracture. Methods : 1. In vitro test : MG-63 cell in human body and the Pyritum in the ratio of 0.5mg/ml, 1.0mg/ml, 1.5mg/ml, 2.0mg/ml were incubated for 24 hours. After 24 hours, RNA was extracted via trizol reagent (Sigma, USA). In order to understand the activation of osteoblast, the level of OPN mRNA, osteopontin, was measured. 2. In vivo tesgroups normal group, control group and experimental group. Left tibia bones of mice in CON and JT groups were fractured by bone cutters. Pyrite was orally administered to the experimental group. After 14 days, each group's tibia specimen was constructed to observe changes in activation of proinflmmatory cytokines in relation to MIF and IL-6. Also, proliferation of osteoblast and osteopontin were measured via changes in levels of OPN and OPN mRNA. Results : In jn-Titro test, the level of OPN mRNA, osteopontin production was remarkably increased in Pyritum-treated MG-63 cells. In in-vitro test, fractured area in external tibia morphology was increased more in the JT group than that of the CON group. Osteogenesis, endochodrial ossification, and osteoid in fractured area were also increased more in the JT group than that of the CON group. Increase in OPN mRNA, osteopontin level and osteoblast's proliferation were observed. Activation of MIF and IL-6 was confirmed from the fracture region. Conclusions : From the result, development of a new stimulator in healing fracture via pyrite is expected.

Contrasts in the style of the gold-silver mineralization in geologic and tectonic settings in Korea, together with radiometric age data, reflect the genetically different nature of hydrothermal activities, coinciding with the emplacement age and depth of Mesozoic magmatic activities. It represents a clear distinction between the plutonic settings of the Jurassic Daebo orogeny and the subvolcanic environments of the Cretaceous Bulgugsa igneous activities. During the Daebo igneous activities (c.a. 200-150 (?) Ma) coincident with orogenic time, gold mineralization took place between c.a. 195 and 135 (127 ?) Ma. The Jurassic Au deposits commonly show several characteristics; prominent association with pegmatites, low Ag/hu ratios in the ore-concentrating parts, massive vein morphology and a distinctively simple mineralogy including Fe-rich sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, Au-rich electrum, pyrrhotite and/or pyrite. During the Bulgugsa igneous activities $(110\~50Ma)$, the precious-metal deposits are generally characterized by such features as complex vein morphology, medium to high AE/AU ratios in the ore concentrates, and diversity of ore minerals including base-metal sulfides, pyrite, arsenopyrite, Ag-rich electrum and native silver nth Ag sulfides, Ag-Sb-As sulfosalts and Ag tellurides. Vein morphology, mineralogical, fluid inclusion and stable isotope results indicate the diverse genetic natures of hydrothermal systems in Korea. The Jurassic Au-dominant deposits (orogenic type) were formed at the relatively high temperature $(about\;300^{\circ}\;to\;450^{\circ}C)$ and deep-crustal level $(4.0{\pm}1.5\;kb)$ from the hydrothermal fluids containing more amounts of magmatic waters $(\delta\;^{18}O_{H2O}\;5\~10\%_{\circ})$. It can. It can be explained by the dominant ore-depositing mechanisms as $CO_2$ boiling and sulfidation, suggestive of hypo- to mesothermal environments. In contrast, the Cretaceous Au-dominant $(l13\~68\;Ma),\;Au-Ag \;(108\~47\;Ma)$ and Ag-dominant $(103\~45\;Ma)$ deposits, which correspond to volcanic-plutonic-related type, occurred at relatively low temperature $(about\;200^{\circ}\;to\;350^{\circ}C)$ and shallow-crustal level $(1.0\{pm}0.5\;kb)$ from the ore-forming fluids containing more amounts of less-evolved meteoric waters$(\delta\;^{18}O_{H2O}\;-10\~5\%_{\circ})$. These characteristics of the Cretaceous precious-metal deposits can be attributed to the complexities in the ore-precipitating mechanisms (mixing, boiling, cooling), suggestive of epi- to mesothermal environments. Therefore, the differences of the emplacement depth between the Daebo and the Bulgugsa igneous activities directly influence the unique temporal and spatial association of the deposit styles.

It represents a clear distinction between the plutonic settings of the Jurassic Daebo orogeny and the subvolcanic environments of the Cretaceous Bulgugsa igneous activities. Dunng the Daebo igneous activities (c.a. 200～150 (\ulcorner) Ma) coincident with orogenic time, gold mineralization took place between c.a. 195 and 135 (127 \ulcorner) Ma.

Vein morphology, mineralogical, fluid inclusion and stable isotope results indicate the diverse genetic natures of hydrothermal systems in Korea. The Jurassic Au-dominant deposits (orogenic type) were formed at the relatively high temperature (about 300$^{\circ}$ to 45$0^{\circ}C$) and deep-crustal level (4.0$\pm$1.5 kb) from the hydrothermal fluids containing more amounts of magmatic waters ($\delta$$^{18}$ $O_{H2O}$; 5～10$\textperthousand$). It can be explained by the dominant ore-depositing mechanisms as $CO_2$ boiling and sulfidation, suggestive of hypo- to mesothermal environments. In contrast, the Cretaceous Au-dominant (l13～68 Ma), Au-Ag (108～47 Ma) and AE-dominant (103～45 Ma) deposits, which correspond to volcanic-plutonic-related type, occurred at relatively low temperature (about 200$^{\circ}$ to 35$0^{\circ}C$) and shallow-crustal level (1.0$\pm$0.5 kb) from the ore-forming fluids containing more amounts of less-evolved meteonc waters ($\delta$$^{18}$ $O_{H2O}$;-10～5$\textperthousand$). These characteristics of the Cretaceous precious-metal deposits can be attributed to the complekities in the ore-precipitating mechanisms (mixing, boiling, cooling), suggestive of epi- to mesothermal environments. Therefore, the differences of the emplacement depth between the Daebo and the Bulgugsa igneous activities directly influence the unique temporal and spatial association of the deposit styles.les.

A large number of gold and/or silver-bearing quartz veins occur in or near Mesozoic granite batholith elongated in a NE-SW direction within the Chungcheong Province. Precambrian schists and gneisses, and Jurassic and Cretaceous granitic rocks serve as hosts for gold and/or silver deposits. On the basis of Ag/Au total production and ore grade ratio, 15 mines may be divided into three major groups: gold-dominant deposits, gold-silver deposits, and silver-dominant deposits. The chemical composition of electrum from skarn deposit (Geodo mine), alaskite-type deposit (Geumjeong mine) and 15 vein deposits was summarized. It was found that the Au content of electrum for vein deposits ranging from 5.2 to 86.5 is lower than that for skarn and alaskite deposits. Among 15 vein deposits, the composition of electrum associated with pyrrhotite is relatively high and has a narrow range of 40.8 to 86.5 atomic % Au, but the Au content of electrum with pyrite is in range of 5.2 to 82.8 atomic %, and is clearly lower than that with pyrrhotite. The grouping of ages for these mines indicates that gold and/or silver mineralizations occurred during two periods in the Mesozoic. Daebo igneous activities are restricted to gold mineralization in the range of 158 to 133 Ma, whereas Bulgugsa igneous activities are related to gold and/or silver mineralization ranging from 108 to 71 Ma. Generally speaking, Jurassic gold-dominant veins have many common characteristics; notably prominent association with pegmatites, simply massive vein morphology, high fineness in the ore concentrates, rarity of silver minerals, and a distinctively simple mineralogy, including sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and/or pyrite. Although individual deposits exhibit widely differing diversity, Cretaceous gold-silver and silver-dominant veins are characterized by features such as complex vein, low to medium fineness in the ore concentrates and abundance of silver minerals including Ag sulfosalts, Ag sulfides, Ag tellurides and native silver.

해저 열수 광화작용을 대효할 수 있는 황화물 침니(sulfide chimney)의 성장 메카니즘을 고찰하기 위하여 Juan de Fuca 혜령의 최남단에 위치하는 Cleft segment의 열수장(hydrothermal field)에서 회수한 비활동성이고 황화물과 실리카가 풍부한 침니를 대상으로 광물 및 유체포유물 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 연구에 의하면, Cleft sogment에는 많은 활동성 및 비활동성의 열수 분출구가 존재하는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 연구 대상 침니는 주로 비정질 실리카, 황칠석, 섬아연석 및 섬유아연석(wurtzite)으로 구성되어 있고,소량의 황동석 및 백칠석을 함유하고 있다. 유체통로로 추정되는 침니의 내부는 다공질이며, 비정질의 교질성(colloidal) 실리카로 피복되어 있다. 섬아연석과 섬유아연석으로 구성되어 있는 아연이 풍부한 황화물의 FeS 함량은 13.9~34.3 mole%의 범위를 보이며, 철이 풍부한 중심부와 철이 부족한 연변부를 지닌다. 이는 광화유체의 화학적.물리석 특성들의 변화로부터 기인되었으리라 사료된다. 침니 내부성장대별 화학조성은 열적구배 및 구성광물의 차이로 인해 다른 특징들을 보여주고 있다. 광화후기에 침전된 비정질 실리카중의 액상이 풍부한 유체포유물을 대상으로 가열 및 냉각 실험을 수행한 결과, 열수유체의 최소 포획 온도는 약 114$^{\circ}$~145$^{\circ}C$이며, 해당 염농도는 3.2~4.8 wt.% NaCl equip, 이다. 실제 열구에서 배출되는 유체 온도 자료를 입수하지는 못했지만, 본 연구를 통해서 광물의 침전작용 동안 상대적으로 저온의 침전조건이 매우 지배적이었음을 알수 있다. Juan de Fuca 해령내 Cleft seamen에서 회수된 황화물 침니는 산출형태, 교질성 조직, 전(bulk) 화학조성, 광물조합(황철석+백철석+섬유아연석+비정질 실리카) 등으로 볼 때, 기존 보고된 침니 유형보다는 상당히 낮은 온도에서 느린 유체 유동과 전도성 냉각(<25$0^{\circ}C$)에 의해 생성되었으리라 사료된다.

한반도 금은광화작용은 중생대 대보화성활동(약 200~130 Ma)과 불국사화성활동(약 120~60 Ma)의 관입시기에 따라 다양한 지질환경에서 형성된 상이한 금속비의 광상이 배태되고 있으며, 각각 서로 다른 정치깊이를 반영하여 광상성인적 유형뿐만 아니라 시 공간적 분포를 보이고 있다. 맥의 산상, 광물학적, 유체포유물 및 동위원소 연구결과에 의하면, 쥬라기 광상은 성인적으로 페그마타이트와 밀접한 연관성을 보이며, 낮은 금은비(Ag/Au ratio)의 금단일형 광상(197~127 Ma)으로 비교적 단순한 광물조합과 높은 금함량의 에렉트럼이 산출된다. 이러한 유형의 광상은 심부기원의 전형적인 괴상 단성맥의 구조를 보이며, 심부(>3.0kb)의 환경조건에서 마그마 기원의 고온성 광화 유체(약 300~45$0^{\circ}C$, $\delta$$^{18}$ O; 5~10$\textperthousand$)로부터 $CO_2$비등현상과 황화작용의 침전 메카니즘에 의해서 형성되었다. 반면, 백악기 금-은광상들은 주로 전형적인 복성맥의 구조를 보이고, 비철금속의 황화광물이외에도 다양한 함은.함은황염 광물조합에 기인한 높은 금은비의 금은혼합형 광상(108~71 Ma) 또는 은단일형 광상(98~71 Ma)으로 산출된다. 이러한 유형의 광상들은 천부의 지질환경(<1.0 kb)에서 지표수의 혼입에 따른 순환수 기원의 비교적 낮은 온도 광화유체(약 200~35$0^{\circ}C$, $\delta$$^{18}$ O; -10~5$\textperthousand$)로부터 비등 및 냉각작용에 의한 복합적인 침전 메카니즘으로 형성되었다. 즉, 쥬라기 금단일형 광상에 속하는 태창 보련 삼황학 대흥광산은 전형적인 심열수~중열수광상으로, 백악기 금은혼합형 광상에 속하는 무극 금왕 금봉 덕음광산과 백악기 은단일형 광상에 속하는 전주일 월유 은적광산은 중열수~천열수광상으로, 가사도광산은 전형적인 화산성 저유황형 천열수광상으로 각각 구분된다. 중생대 대보 화성암체와 불국사 화성암체의 지구조적 특성에 따른 정치심도의 차이는 광화유체의 온도, 압력, 조성 및 기원뿐만 아니라, 유체의 진화과정 및 금-은 광물의 침전 메카니즘을 좌우하며, 결과적으로 금-은광상의 금속비에 직접적인 영향을 준 것으로 해석된다.
