함안광화대는 한반도 남동부 백악기 경상퇴적분지 내에 위치한다. 함안광화대에는 함동 다금속 열수 맥상 광화작용이 진행되어, 함동광물을 포함한 황화광물들과 철산화광물 및 황염광물 등이 열극을 충진하여 발달한 전기석, 석영 및 탄산염광물 맥 내에 산출한다. 본 광화대 내에는 군북, 제일군북 및 함안 광상 등이 분포한다. 광화대의 광화작용은 함철 및 함동 광화작용이 주로 진행된 광화 I 기와 주된 동광화작용이 진행되어 황화광물과 황염광물이 산출하는 광화 II 기 및 금속광물의 산출이 이루어지지 않은 방해석맥으로 이루어진 광화 III 기로 구분된다. 광물공생관계와 광물의 지화학적 조성특성 등이 고려된 열역학적 연구결과 주된 함동광물인 황동석의 침전은 약 $350^{\circ}C$ 에서 시작되어 약 $250^{\circ}C$ 까지 진행되었다. 동은 주로 염화복합체로 이동되었으며, 상기 온도의 냉각과정에 수반된 지화학적 환경요인 ($fs_2$, $fo_2$, pH 등)들의 변화에 의한 함동 염화복합체의 용해도 감소에 의하여 침전되었다.

함안-군북 광화대는 한반도 남동부의 백악기 경상분지내에 위치해있다. 자철석, 회중석, 휘수연석, 황동석의 주광석 광물과 천금속 및 소량의 황염광물이 백악기 퇴적암, 화산암, 화강섬록암(118${\pm}$3.0 Ma)내에 발달된 열극을 충진한 전기석, 석영 및 탄산염맥내에서 산출된다. 광석 및 맥석광물들은 세 개의 광화시기로 구분될 수 있다: 광화 1기, 전기석+석영+철-동광석: 광화 2기, 석영+황화광물+황염광물+탄산염광물; 광화 3기, barren한 방해석. 광화 1기 및 2기의 초기 유체는 고염농도(35~70 equiv. wt.% NaCl+KCl)이며, 기상이 풍부하고 약 300$^{\circ}$~50$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 균질 되었다. 비록 황화물 광물이 상기유체에 의해 생성된 초기광물조합과 연관성이 없을지라도, 고염농도의 유체는 상당량의 나트륨, 칼륨, 철, 동, 황을 함유하는 염화물복합체 염수로 사료된다. 후기 용액은 새롭게 생성된 열극 및 맥을 따라 순환되었으며, 낮은 염농도($\leq$20 equiv. wt.% NaCl)이며 약200$^{\circ}$~40$0^{\circ}C$에서 균질화되었다. 할안-군북 열수계 유체의 산소-수소 동위원소조성은 광화초기에는 마그마성 열수의 특징을 보이다가 점차 광화후기로 가면서 순환수성 열수의 특징을 보여주고 있다. 함안-군복지역의 광체가 부존된 화강섬록암내에서 손환하고 있는 초기 열수성유체는 정출마그마에서 용리된후 고염농도의 액상을 함유한 유체와 $H_2O$-NaCl계의 기상으 함유한 유체로 불혼화되었다. 상기 마그마유체가 열극을 따라 이동하면서, 다른 황화광물과 황염광물의 침전없이 전기석 및 초기 철, 텅스텐, 몰리브데늄, 동 광화작용을 유발시켰다. 순환수기원의 후기광화용액은 동과 천금속 황화물, 황염광화작용을 촉발시켰다.

More than fifty copper veins are emplaced around late Cretaceous granitoid stock in Haman-Gunbuk district, southernmost part of Korea. These veins cut both late Cretaceous granitoids and hornfels of Jindong formation which is intruded by the granitoids. The paragenesis of veins is nearly the same, consisting of (1) an early vein stage in which most iron oxide minerals, tourmaline and other silitcate minerals were deposited, (2) a calcite and quartz with base·metal sulfide stage and (3) late vein lets of barren calcite stage. Fluid inclusion studies reveal highly systematic trends of salinity and temperature during mineralization. Ore fluids of early vein stage were complex NaCl-KCl rich brines. Salinities of polyphase inclusions in quartz and scapolite in thie stage reached up to 72 wt.% and gradually decreased to 10.5wt. % in closing stage. Homogenization temperatures of inclusions in the beginning of this stage were up to $490^{\circ}C$ and then declined steadly to $290^{\circ}C$ in the late stage. Salinities of fluid inclusions in quartz and calcite of base·metal sulfide stage were 37.4~5.7wt. % and homogenization temperatures range from $373^{\circ}C$ to $170^{\circ}C$. Intermittent boiling of early vein fluid is indicated by fluid inclusions in quartz. Potassic alteration of granodiorite adjacent to early vein seems to be related to early saline vein fluid. Fluid inclusion data of base-metal sulfide stage of this area reveal nearly the same range as those of Koseong copper mining district about 30km apart from this area.

The metamorphosed belt on cherty and andesitic rocks of the Gyeongnam province area has been well known as the most important copper matallogenetic province in Korea and locally has been investigated by several geologists. This report is summarized about geology, occurrence of ore deposits, the study of the present status of mine developments and exploitations and the suggestions of future proposed of copper mine developments and harmoniously and reseonably planning of demands and supply of copper ore. For convenience of study the writer divided the survey region as 4 areas, according to the conditions of mine location. They are (1) Goseong copper area (2) Gunbuk-Haman copper area (3) Masan-Changwon copper area (4) Tongrae-Ilgwang copper area. The geology of the above 4 areas consits of Cretaceous Gyongsang System, which is divided into Silla series, Nakdong Series and Bulguksa Series. The former has intrusive and extrusive andesite and sedimentary formation, and the latter has dioritic and hornblende granite. Ore deposits which is mostly vein types are confined mostly in the andesite and cherty rocks of Silla and Nakdong Series. It is observed slight hydrothermal alteration, i. e. propylitization, chloritization, saussuritization and silicification. It seems that the ore was formed by hydrothermal solution and secondary enrichement. The ore minerals are mainly chalcopyrite and pyrite, with small amounts of malachite, azurite, chalcocite, cuprite, galena, and sphalerite, magnetite, tetrahedrite and etc.. The efficient plan of copper mine developments in surveyed region are as following; (a) Gyeongnam Copper districts are divided in 4 area as mentioned above. (b) Each area would be likely developed as group-working as one unit. For the sufficiently supplying a demand of electric copper, the importations of high grade copper ore in foreign country are invitable at present status of copper mine developments and exploitations.

Gold and/or silver mineralization in the southeast province, Korea, occurred in hydrothermal quartz vein that fills fracture zones in Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Gyeongsang basin or granites and Precambrian gneiss. Most of the gold-silver-bearing veins in the province occur in Hapcheon, Suncheon and Haman-Gunbuk area where they are associated with Cretaceous Bulgugsa granites. On the basis of the Ag/Au ratio on amounts produced and ore grades, mode of occurrence, and associated mineral assemblages, hydrothermal Au-Ag deposits in southeast province, Korea, can be classified as follows: pyrite-type gold deposit (Group IIB, Samjeong and Sangchon deposits), antimony-type gold-silver deposit (Group IV, Gisan and Geochang deposits), and antimony-type silver deposit (Group V, Sanggo, Seweon, Seongju and Gahoe deposits). All of the gold-silver deposits in the province are generally characteristics of the gold-silver or silver-dominant type deposit which contains more silver-bearing minerals than those deposits in central Korea. The gold-silver mineralization in the deposits consist of two generation; the early characterized by gold precipitation and the late represented by silver-rich (as silver-bearing sulfosalts minerals) mineralization. All but one deposit (Samjeong deposit) having relatively lower Au content in electrum values between ${\approx}20$ and ${\approx}50$ atomic %. The mineralogical data on electrum-sphalerite and/or arsenopyrite geothermometry and fluid inclusion data indicate that the gold and silver mineralizations were occurred at temperatures of $190{\sim}280^{\circ}C$ and $150{\sim}180^{\circ}C$, respectively. These suggest that the gold-silver mineralization in the province occurred in the lower temperature and pressure conditions as epithermal-type hydrothermal vein deposit.

Chindong granites are classified into granodiorite, tonalite and quartz-diorite, and Yucheon - Eonyang granites into monzo-granite by the Streckeisen diagram. These granitic rocks of Cretaceous age show trend of calc-alkaline magma, and the magmatic evolution from basic to acidic rocks is consistant with the general crystallization path of the Cretaceous granitic rocks in the Gyeongsang basin. On the basis of petrological and petrochemical data, variation of major elements (K, Na, Ca, Mg) and trace elements (Rb, Sr, Ba) including ore metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) in the Cretaceous granitic rocks were studied in detail in order to investigate geochemical difference of the granitic rocks in relation to mineralization between Cu province and Pb-Zn province in the Gyeongsang basin. There is clear difference in content of the major elements between Chindong granites and Yucheon-Eonyang granites : Chindong granites have low content of K (1.62%) and Na (2.53%), and high content of Ca (3.75%) and Mg (1.42%) whereas Yucheon-Eonyang granites have high content of K (3.56-3.60%), and low content of Ca (0.96-0.26%) and Mg (0.26-0.21%). There is also clear difference in content of trace lithophile elements between Chindong granites and Yucheon-Eonyang, granites : Chindong granites have low content of Rb (86ppm) and Ba (330ppm), and high content of Sr (405ppm) while Yucheon-Eonyang, granites have high content of Rb (144-161ppm) and Ba (983-1030ppm), and low content of Sr (157-136ppm). The lithophile trace elements of Rb and Sr vary with close relationship to major elements of K and Ca, respectively. Therefore, Chindong granites are much easily distinguished from Yucheon-Eonyang granites by using relationship of K with Rb and Ca with Sr : K<3%, Rb<100ppm, Ca<2% and Sr>200ppm for Chindong granites, and K>3%, Rb>100ppm, Ca<2%, and Sr<200ppm for Yucheon-Eonyang granites. There is not clear difference in content of trace ore metals between Chindong granites and Yucheon-Eonyang granites : Chindong granites of the Cu province have low Cu content (15ppm) which is nearly equal to 13-14ppm of Yucheon-Eonyang granites of the Pb-Zn province, and Yucheon-Eonyang granites have Pb content (29-27ppm) which is rather lower than 37ppm of Chindong granites. But Cu is anomalously high in the mineralized part of Chindong granites in Gunbuk-Haman area, and Zn is apparently higher in Yucheon-Eonyang granites (51-37ppm) than in Chindong granites (29ppm). K/Pb ratio is also c1early distinguishable between Chindong granites (<850) and Yucheon-Eonyang granites (>850). Thus, it may be possible to apply geochemical difference of the granites to distinguish whether a Cretaceous granitic body is Cu related rock or Pb-Zn related rock, and whether it belongs to Cu province or Pb-Zn province in the Gyeongsang basin.
