필리핀 만카얀 지역의 빅토리아 광산에서 입수한 금 은 광석으로부터 금 은 성분의 회수율을 높이기 위해 지질 및 광물학적 특성, 금과 은의 수반상태, 파 분쇄에 따른 단체 분리도, 체 분리에 의한 분립 특성과 요동테이블에 의한 비중 선별 특성을 연구하였다. 필리핀산 금 은 광석은 황철석, 섬아연석, 방연석 등의 황화광물과 석영 및 점토 등의 맥석 광물로 구성되었다. 금 은 성분은 황철석, 섬아연석, 방연석 등의 황화광물에 주로 수반되어 있었다. 황화광물 결정의 크기는 $100{\mu}m$에서 $1{\mu}m$ 이하까지 광범위한 입도분포를 갖기 때문에 금 은이 수반된 황화광물의 단체분리도를 높이기 위해서는 금 은 광석을 최소한 $100{\mu}m$ 이하로 매우 작게 분쇄해야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 금 은 광석을 Jaw crusher $\to$ cone crusher $\to$ rod mill 등으로 단계적으로 파.분쇄하여 입도($d_{90}$)를 $100{\mu}m$ 이하로 조절하면 단체분리도가 92% 정도까지 높아졌다. 금 은 성분이 함유된 황화광물의 결정이 $100{\mu}m$ 이하의 입단에서 고르게 분포되어 있기 때문에 체질에 의한 분립 방법으로는 금 은을 수반한 황화광물을 선택적으로 분리하여 회수할 수 없었다. 파 분쇄한 금 은 광석을 체로 분립한 후 요동테이블로 비중 선별한 결과, 정광에는 황화광물이 주로 농축되어 금과 은의 품위가 각각 40 ppm 및 140 ppm까지 높아졌다. 이때 정광의 금 실수율은 거의 100%에 이르지만, 은 실수율은 50% 수준에 불과하였다.

전도성 황화광체의 탐사에는 현장작업의 편이성과 저렴한 조사 경비 및 성과의 신뢰성으로 자연전위탐사, VLF 전자탐사 및 전기비저항 쌍극자탐사법이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 금번 탐사는 전라북도 진안군 부귀면에 소재 하는 장금 광산의 맥상의 노두 광체를 대상으로 맥상 황화광체에 대한 물리탐사 탐사 반응을 검토하고 이를 시추탐사 결과와 대비, 고찰하여 보았다. 조사지역 부근의 지질은 유천층군의 퇴적 암류와 산성 화산암류로 구성되며 광상은 광염상 또는 맥상으로 황철석, 자류철석 및 방연석 등의 황화광물이 배태된다. 이들 맥상 광체에 의한 전형적인 이상대가 각각 포착되었는데, 자연전위탐사 결과 광체는 등전위선 분포가 조밀하고 전위 경도가 큰 쪽으로 경사지며, VLF 전자탐사 결과 광체의 부존 범위와 잘 일치되며 서쪽으로 경사지는 광체에 의한 반응임이 확인되었다. 쌍극자 전기비저항탐사 결과 역시 서쪽으로 경사지는 광체에 의한 반응이 확인되었다. 이에 대한 시추탐사 결과 광체는 주향 방향으로 약 50 m 연장되며 약 $70^{\circ}W$경사를 가진 맥상 광체임이 밝혀졌다.

Gold mineralization of the Ogkye gold mine was deposited mainly in quartz veins up to 150 cm wide which occupy fissures in Cambrian Pungchon limestone. Ore minerals are relatively simple as follows: pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, electrum and galena. On the basis of the Ag/Au ratio on ore grades, mode of occurrence and assoicated mineral assemblages, the Ogkye gold deposit can be classified as pyrite-type gold deposit (Group IIB). Fluid inclusion data indicate that ore minerals were deposited between $400^{\circ}$and $230^{\circ}C$ from relatively dilute fluids (0.2 to 7.3 wt.% eq. NaCl) containing $CO_2$. The ore mineralization resulted from a complex history of $CO_2$ effervescence and local concomitant boiling coupled with cooling and dilution of ore fluids. Gold deposition was likely a result of decrease of sulfur activity caused by sulfide deposition and/or $H_2S$ loss accompanying fluid unmixing. Sulfur isotope compositions of sulfide minerals (${\delta}^{34}S=3.5{\sim}5.9$‰) are consistent with ${\delta}^{34}S_{H_2S}$ value of 4.8 to 6.1‰, suggesting mainly an igneous source of sulfur partially mixed with wall-rock sulfur.

Mesothermal, tellurium-bearing gold-silver vein mineralization of the Yuryang mine was formed in mineralogically complex quartz-sulfide veins that filled the fault fractures in Precambrian gneiss within Gyeonggi Massif. Ore grades average 179 g/ton gold with a gold/silver ratio of 1.5 : 1. Ore mineralization was deposited in single stage. Major ore mineralization can be divided into two mineralization phases with increasing paragenetic time: Fe-sulfide and base-metal mineralization phase $\rightarrow$ telluride mineralization phase.

The Yeonhwa Lead and Zinc Mine is located in northern part of Kyeongsang-Buk-Do, Korea, and is economically most important mine because it produces most part of the output of lead and zinc minerals in the country. Ore deposits of the mine are localized in the Pungchon Formation and several limestone seams of upper Myobong Formation in Cambrian Age. Ore solution ascended along the fractures of N-S, NE-SW or NW-SE trends and along slate and limestone boundary, and then replaced selectively limestone to make ore bodies. Skarn minerals are consisted of hedenbergite, diopside, and main sulfide mineral orebodies are composed of galena, zincblende, pyrrhotite, pyrite and a minor amounts of arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. Metal ratio, ${\rho}_{Pb}={\frac{Pb(%)}{Pb(%)+Zn(%)}}{\times}100$, illustrates the zona I arrangements of some ore bodies. It will be inferred the flow trending of ore solution and the process reaction with adjacent country rocks. The sub-divided formations of the Pungchon limestone and Myobong slate are very useful as a criteria for detecting probable ore location. Rhodochrosite veins are good evidence for searching of ore location, especially on Pb-rich ore bodies.

Epithermal Mn-Au-Ag deposits of subvolcanic type in the Yeongil area discovered by one (Soo Jin Kim) of the present authors was studied with emphasis on their mineralogy, genesis and future potential. Mineralization is genetically related to volcanic activities of the Tertiary Period, which have produced porphyritic rhyolite, granite porphyry, felsitic rhyolite and agglomerate. Ore deposits are closely associated with felsitic rhyolite. They occur as breccia-filling, veins, or networks. Mineralization is characterized by rhodochrosite-sulfide ores of breccia-type in the central zone, and sulfide ores of disseminated type in the outer zone. Sulfides consist mainly of pyrite and marcasite, with minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, argentian tetrahedrite, galena and gold in the central zone, and of pyrite, marcasite and argentian tetrahedrite in the outer zone. Sulfides are generally not easily identified with naked eye because of their very fine-grained nature. Wall rock alteration zones are also developed around ore deposits over the large area. Occurrence of ore deposits and the nature of mineralization indicate that the uppermost portion of ore deposits are now exposed on the surface, and therefore, the main mineralized zones are expected in depth.

Many skarn type iron ore deposits are distributed in Kimhae-Mulgeum area of Gyeongnam Province. Integrated field, mineralogic, geochemical and fluid inclusion studies were undertaken to illustrate the character and origin of the ores in this area. The iron ore deposits in this area are NS or NNE trending fracture filling magnetite veins which are developed in andesitic rocks near the contact with late Cretaceous micrographic granite bodies. Symmetrically zoned skarns are commonly developed in the magnetite veins of this area. Zoning of skarn from center to margin of the vein are as follows; garnet quartz skarn-epidote skarn-epidote orthoclase skarn-altered andesitic rocks. Major ore mineral is magnetite and small amount of hematite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite are associated. Vein paragenesis reveals four depositional stages; 1) skarn stage, 2) iron sulfide and oxide stage, 3) skarn stage, 4) sulfide stage Minute halite-bearing polyphase inclusions and liquid inclusions are contained in quartz. Filling temperatures range from $257^{\circ}$ to $370^{\circ}C$.

The Kuroko-type seafloor massive sulfide deposits found in the western Pacific have been considered to have potentials for economic recovery of Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, and Pb. In this study, a preliminary model was developed for the technical and economic evaluation of them. The FRSC site on Lau Basin in the Tonga EEZ was selected as a target. In this study, no construction In for the metallurgical processing subsystem was accounted for. Instead, it was assumed to sell the Cu, Zn, and Pb concentrates to the existing sulfide customer smelter. The low total investment costs for the development make the venture very attractive. However, the result of the economic feasibility evaluation is still less attractive with the mean metal yield of the Kuroko on land. It is considered that commercial mining may be plausible if the richer metal yields are applied to the development. Quantitative information for metal yield is necessary for a more accurate evaluation. However, the important resource potential information regarding the amount of ore body, the inside structure, and the metal yields have not yet been clarified sufficiently. h addition, the flotation of ore body using seawater has not been tested yet. It is necessary to solve these problems through the experimental R&D and a survey.

스카른 Zn-Pb-Cu 복합광석을 구성하는 주요 구성 광물의 정량분석을 목적으로, 마이크로 포커스 X-ray 단층촬영 장비를 이용한 스카른 복합광석의 3차원 비파괴검사를 수행하였다. X-ray 단층화상의 화상결함을 감소시키고자 제안된 화상보정법을 이용하여 화상들을 보정한 후에 3차원으로 재구성하였다. 주사전자현미경(SEM)에 의한 표면분석과 보정된 X-ray 단층화상을 비교하여 주요광물에 대한 CT 값의 범위를 결정하였다. 재구성화상 내 전체 광물의 체적비율을 분석한 결과, 황화광물 20.5%, 맥석광물 79.5%로 평가되었다. X-ray 3차원 단층화상 정량분석법은 광석 내 유용광물의 부존형상과 회수율 분석에 유용하게 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

The Yonghwa gold-silver deposits are emplaced along $N15^{\circ}{\sim}25^{\circ}W$ trending fissures in middle Cretaceous porphyritic granite or Precambrian Sobaegsan gneiss complex. The results of paragenetic studies suggest that vein filling can be subdivided into four identifiable stages; state I: the main sulfide stage, characterized by base-metal sulfide minerals, iron oxides and minor electrum, stage II: electrum stage, stage III: electrum and silver-bearing sulfosalts stage, stage IV: post ore stage of carbonates and quartz. The ore mineralogy suggests that depositional temperature of the formation of the gold and silver minerals are estimated as 200 to $250^{\circ}C$ and 140 to $180^{\circ}C$, respectively. Sulfur fugacity of the formation of the gold and silver minerals are estimated as $10^{-14.0}$ to $10^{-12.2}$ atm and $10^{-18.5}$ to $10^{-17.2}$ atm, respectively. A consideration of the pressure regime during ore deposition bases on the fluid inclusion evidence of boiling suggests lithostatic pressure of less than 180 bars. This range of pressure indicate that vein system lay at depth of 700m below the surface at the time during mineralization. Salinities of ore-bearing fluids range from 0.4 to 6.9 wt.% equivalent NaCl. The sulfur and carbon isotopic data reveal that these elements were probably derived from a deep-seated source. The ${\delta}^{18}O$ of the hydrothermal fluid was determined from ${\delta}^{18}O$ values of quartz and calcite. Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic studies reveal that meteoric water dominate over ore-bearing fluid.
