  • Petrochemical, K-Ar dating, Sand Rb/Sr isotopes, metallogenic zoning, paleomagnetic and geotectonic studies of the Gyongsang basin were carried out to examine applicability of plate tectonics to the post-late Cretaceous igneous activity and metallogeny in the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Bulgugsa granitic rocks range from granite to adamellite, whose Q-Ab-Or triangular diagram indicates that the depth and pressure at which the magma consolidated increase from coast to inland varying from 6 km, 0.5-3.3 kb in the coastal area to 17 km, 0.5-10 kb in the inland area. 2. The volcanic rocks in Gyongsang basin range from andesitic to basaltic rocks, and the basaltic rocks are generally tholeiitic in the coastal area and alkali basalt in the inland area. 3. The volcanic rocks of the area have the initial ratio of Sr^{87}/Sr^{86} varying from 0.706 to 0.707 which suggests a continental origin; the ratio of Rb/Sr changing from 0.079-0.157 in the coastal area to 0.021-0.034 in the inland area suggests that the volcanism is getting younger toward coastal side, which may indicate a retreat in stage of differentiation if they were derived from a same magma. The K_2O/SiO_2 (60%) increases from about 1.0 in the coastal area to about 3.0 in the inland area, which may suggest an increase indepth of the Benioff zone, if existed, toward inland side. 4. The K-Ar ages of volcanic rocks were measured to be 79.4 m.y. near Daegu, and 61.7 m.y. near Busan indicating a southeastward decrease in age. The ages of plutonic rocks also decrease toward the same direction with 73 m.y. near Daegu, and 58 m.y. near Busan, so that the volcanism predated the plutonism by 6 m.y. in the continental interior and 4 m.y. along the coast. Such igneous activities provide a positive evidence for an applicability of plate tectonics to this area. 5. Sulfur isotope analyses of sulfide minerals from 8 mines revealed that these deposits were genetically connected with the spacially associated ingeous rocks showing relatively narrow range of ${\delta}^{34}S$ values (-0.9‰ to +7.5‰ except for +13.3 from Mulgum Mine). A sequence of metallogenic zones from the coast to the inland is delineated to be in the order of Fe-Cu zone, Cu-Pb-Zn zone, and W-Mo zone. A few porphyry type copper deposits are found in the Fe-Cu zone. These two facts enable the sequence to be comparable with that of Andean type in South America. 6. The VGP's of Cretaceous and post Cretaceous rocks from Korea are located near the ones($71^{\circ}N$, $180^{\circ}E$ and $90^{\circ}N$, $110^{\circ}E$) obtained from continents of northern hemisphere. This suggests that the Korean peninsula has been stable tectonically since Cretaceous, belonging to the Eurasian continent. 7. Different polar wandering path between Korean peninsula and Japanese islands delineates that there has been some relative movement between them. 8. The variational feature of declination of NRM toward northwestern inland side from southeastern extremity of Korean peninsula suggests that the age of rocks becomes older toward inland side. 9. The geological structure(mainly faults) and trends of lineaments interpreted from the Landsat imagery reveal that NNE-, NWW- and NEE-trends are predominant in the decreasing order of intensity. 10. The NNE-trending structures were originated by tensional and/or compressional forces, the directions of which were parallel and perpendicular respectively to the subduction boundary of the Kula plate during about 90 m.y. B.P. The NWW-trending structures were originated as shear fractures by the same compressional forces. The NEE-trending structures are considered to be priginated as tension fractures parallel to the subduction boundary of the Kula plate during about 70 m.y. B.P. when Japanese islands had drifted toward southeast leaving the Sea of Japan behind. It was clearly demonstrated by many authors that the drifting of Japanese islands was accompanied with a rotational movement of a clock-wise direction, so that it is inferred that subduction boundary had changed from NNE- to NEE-direction. A number of facts and features mentioned above provide a suite of positive evidences enabling application of plate tectonics to the late Cretaceous-early Tertiary igneous activity and metallogeny in the area. Synthesizing these facts, an arc-trench system of continental margin-type is adopted by reconstructing paleogeographic models for the evolution of Korean peninsula and Japan islands. The models involve an extention mechanism behind the are(proto-Japan), by which proto-Japan as of northeastern continuation of Gyongsang zone has been drifted rotationally toward southeast. The zone of igneous activity has also been migrated from the inland in late-Cretaceous to the peninsula margin and southwestern Japan in Tertiary.

  • 보국 코발트 광산은 백악기 경상분지내에 위치하며, 셰일로 구성된 건천리층을 천부 관입한 암주상의 미문상 화강암내에 국한하여 배태된다. 광상은 열극 충진형 석영${\pm}$액티놀라이트${\pm}$탄산염 광물맥으로 이루어지며, 광석광물로는 함코발트광물 (비독사석, 휘코발트석, 글로코도트), 함코발트 유비철석과 소량의 황화광물 (자류철석, 황동석, 황철석, 섬아연석) 및 미량의 산화광물 (자철석, 적철석)이 산출된다. Rb-Sr 절대연령 측정 결과, 화강암의 관입 및 이와 관련된 광화작용은 후기 백악기 (85.98 Ma)에 이루어진 것으로 판단된다. 산출광물종은 다소 복잡한 양상을 보이며, 시간에 따라 다음과 같이 변화한다: 액티놀라이트, 탄산염광물 및 석영에 수반되는 함코발트 광물의 정출 (광화시기 I, II)${\rightarrow}$석영에 수반되는 황화광물, 금 및 산화광물의 정출 (광화시기 III)${\rightarrow}$탄산염광물의 정출(광화시기 IV, V). 고온성 광물 (함코발트 광물, 휘수연석, 액티놀라이트)과 더불어 저온성 광물 (황화광물, 금, 탄산염광물)이 산출되는 점으로 보아 열수광화작용은 xenothermal 환경에서 형성되었다. 화강암은 특징적으로 높은 코발트 함유량 (평균 50.90 ppm)을 나타내며, 이는 코발트가 냉각하는 화강암 암주에서 기원하였음을 지시한다. 반면, 건천리층 셰일의 높은 동 및 아연 함유량은 이들 원소가 주로 셰일로부터 유래되었음을 지시한다. 열수용액의 온도 감소와 더불어 산소분압이 감소 (광화 I, II기의 코발트광물 형성, $T=560^{\circ}C-390^{\circ}C$, log $fO_2=$ > -32.7 to -30.7 atm at $350^{\circ}C$; 광화 III기의 황화광물 형성, $T=380^{\circ}-345^{\circ}C$, log $fO_2={\geq}-30.7$ atm at $350^{\circ}C$함은 열수계가 시간이 지남에 따라 초기 마그마성 계로부터 천수로 지배되는 열수계로 전이되었음을 나타낸다. 광화 II기의 유황 동위원소 값은 초기 함코발트 열수 용액이 화성기원 ($${\delta}^{34}S_{{\Sigma}S}{\sim_=}3-5$$‰)으로부터 기원하였음을 증거한다. 열수용액의 ${\delta}^{34}S_{H_2S}$ 값은 광화 II기의 코발트 형성기 (3-5‰)로부터 황화광물 형성 시기인 광화 IV기 (최대 약 20‰)까지 크게 증가하였다. 이는 후기로 갈수록 천수가 우세한 열수계로 진화하면서 주위의 퇴적암을 순환하는 과정에 동위원소적으로 무거운 유황 (퇴적기원의 황산염)과 천금속 (Cu, Zn 등) 및 금을 용해, 농집시켰음을 시사한다. 후기에 천수의 유입이 없었더라면, 보국 광상은 단순히 액티놀라이트 + 석영 + 함코발트 광물로 구성된 광맥으로만 형성되었을 것이다. 또한, 마그마 기원의 열수계가 형성된 이후에 천수 순환계가 형성됨으로 인하여 고온 광물과 저온 광물이 함께 산출되는 xenothermal 한 광상의 특성을 나타내게 되었다.
