The ore deposit of the Ohtani mine is one of repesentatives of plutonic tungsten-tin veins related genetically to acidic magmatism of Late Cretaceous in the Inner zone of Southwest Japan. Based on macrostructures of vein filling on the order of ore body, three major mineralization stages, called stage I, stage II, and stage ill from earliest to latest, are distinguished by major tectonic breaks. The alteration zories are characterized by specific mineral associations in pseudomorphs after biotite. The alteration zones can be divided into two parts, i. e. a chlorite zone and a muscovite zone, each repesenting mineralogical and chemical changes produced by the hydrothermal alteration. The chloritic alteration took place at the beginning of mineralization, and muscovite alteration in additions to chloritic alteration took place at stage II and ill. The alteration zones are considered to be formed by either of two alteration mechanism. 1) The zones are formed by reaction of the rock with successive flows of solution of different composition and different stage. 2) The zones are formed contemporaneously as the solution move outward. Reaction between the solution and the wall-rock results in a continuous change in solution chemistry. The migration of the successive replacement of the fresh zone$\rightarrow$the chlorite zone$\rightarrow$the muscovite zone may have transgressed slowly veinward, leaving metasomatic borders between the different zones.

Milyang pyrophyllite deposit which was formed by hydrothermal alteration occurs in Late Cretaceous andesitic tuff in the Milyang area, Gyeongsangnamdo. The wall rock alteration and genesis of the Milyang pyrophyllite deposit were studied. The ore minerals are composed dominantly of pyrophyllite accompanied by small amounts of quartz, kaolinite, pyrite, dumortierite and diaspore. The alteration halo of this deposit can be divided into three zones on the basis of mineral assemblage; pyrophyllite, sericite and chlorite zone. The common mineral assemblages of each alteration zone are as follows: (1) pyrophyllite zone; pyrophyllite-quartz-kaolinite-pyrite-dumortierite-diaspore, (2) sericite zone; sericite-quartz-pyrite-kaolinite, and (3) chlorite zone; chlorite-plagioclase-quartz. Major element chemistry shows that characteristic depletion in MgO, CaO, and $Na_2O$ and relative increase in FeO from less altered chlorite zone to extensively altered pyrophyllite zone corresponding to variation in mineral assemblages. The paragenesis of ore minerals, oxygen isotope data, chlorite and illite geothermometry suggest that ore deposit was formed at about $250{\sim}330^{\circ}C$. Both hydrogen and silica activities are high in pyrophyllite zone. Potassium activity increases in sericite zone while hydrogen activity becomes low in chlorite zone. The pyrophyllite zone was formed relatively higher temperature than those of sericite and chlorite zones. The ore fluid was considered to be magmatic water in origin derived from the residual granitic magma which interacted with meteoric water.

본 논문에서는 해남지역의 점토광상인 성산, 옥매산 및 해남광상을 연구대상으로 하였다. 열수변질을 받은 각 점토광상은 중심으로부터 주변부로 감에 따라 변질대를 형성하고 있는데, 성산광상의 경우 카올린대, 카올린-석영대, 견운모대 및 녹니석대의 변질대가, 옥매산광상의 경우 석영대, 명반석대, 카올린대, 견운모대 및 녹니석대의 변질대가, 그리고 해남광상의 경우 석영대, 납석대, 견운모대 및 녹니석대의 변질대가 각각 나타나고 있다. 이같은 변질대들은 두 종류의 변질작용으로 구분될 수 있는데, 하나는 납석대, 명반석대, 석영대, 카올린대 및 카올린-석영대와 같은 산변질작용 (acidic alteration)이고, 다른 하나는 녹니석대와 일부 견운모대와 같은 프로필리틱 (prophylitic alteration) 이다. 모든 점토광상은 high sulfidation (acidic-sulfate) 계에 속한다. 산변질작용의 암석은 납석, 명반석, 카올린광물, 견운모, 석영 및 황철석 등으로 구성되어 있다. 전암화학분석의 결과 $SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, MgO, CaO, $K_2O$ 및 $Na_2O$와 같은 원소들은 원암의 조성과 상당한 차이를 보여주고 있는데, 이같은 주원소들의 유동성은 각 변질대의 광물조합과 관련되어 이들에 영향을 주고 있다. 견운모의 폴리타잎(polytype) 은 X-선 회절분석결과, $2M_1$ 및 1M 형으로 밝혀졌다. 성산광상의 경우 $2M_1$ 및 1M 형이 거의 같은 비율로 나타나고, 옥매산광상의 경우 1M 형이 우세한 반면, 해남광상의 경우 $2M_1$ 형이 우세하게 나타나고 있다. 이같은 현상은 견운모의 형성온도를 반영하는 것으로, 해남광상이 가장 고온에서, 성산광상은 중간온도에서, 그리고 옥매산광상이 가장 저온에서 형성되었음을 지시해 준다. 전자현미 분석결과, 면반석의 Na/(K+Na)의 비율이 옥매산광상의 것이 성산광상의 명반석이 성산광상의 것보다 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 옥매산광상의 것보다 상대적으로 고온에서 높은 Na/(K+Na) 값과 낮은 pH 값을 갖는 용액에서 형성되었음을 시사해 준다. 모든 분석결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 명반석은 hypogene 기원이며, steam-heated 환경에서 hydrogen sulfide의 산화작용에 의하여, 그리고 오늘날의 열수계에서 관찰할 수 있는 solfataric alteration의 결과로 형성되었음을 알 수 있다.

Acid drainage in civil engineering structures such as tunnels may lead to the deposition of precipitates that clog drainage channels and pipework. In evaluating acid drainage, the Fe content of water and precipitates, indicated by reddish brown coloration of rock surfaces, rivers, and soils, may be an important factor. In this study, acid drainage was evaluated by analyzing the Fe content of reddish brown seepage water that occurred in part of a tunnel. Geological investigations around the tunnel revealed a hydrothermal alteration zone cutting the bedrock, and cropping out in the upper parts of the tunnel. Analysis of drillcore revealed many fracture zones and veins. Inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometric analyses of water, precipitates, and soil samples, collected in the seepage water zone and around the tunnel, were conducted to evaluate acid drainage. The Fe content of seepage water in the tunnel was 0.030-0.333 mg/kg, which is 2-22 times higher than in local groundwater. The Fe content of precipitates in the tunnel was 165,403-301,051 mg/kg, similar to the 206,167-422,964 mg/kg content of drillcore from the hydrothermal alteration zone located above the tunnel. It is concluded that the seepage water is derived from Fe-containing acid drainage flowing in perforated tunnel drainpipes along the fracture zones and veins around the hydrothermal alteration zone.

The Kyungju pyrophyllite deposits were formed by the hydrothermal alteration of andesitic rocks, which were intruded by Cretaceous granite mass. The major minerals are pyrophyllite, kaolinite and chlorite. The deposits may be zoned outward into pyrophyllite zone, silicified pyrophyllite zone and weakly altered zone (propyrilite zone) according to mineral assemblages. Chemical compositions vary in close relation with the mineralogical assemblages: $Al_2O_3$ content is high due to pyrophyllitization at the deposits and altered zones in comparison to andesitic country rocks, while the contents of $Na_2O$, CaO and MgO are generally low due to leaching during the alteration. This variation of chemical elements may be applicable in the geochemical exploration of pyrophyllite deposits.

Gold contents with major and trace elements have been determined in 67 fresh igneous and altered wall rocks in the acid-sulfate alteration zone of the Ogmaesan-Seongsan pyrophyllite deposits in the Haenam area of the south-western part of Korean peninsula. The results are as follows; (1) Li contents have a tendency to show high value in dickite and altered rocks with dickite, while As, Mo and Sb contents have tendencies to show high values in alunite vein and silicified zone. F contents are higher in the altered rocks compared to fresh rocks. (2) Gold contents are enriched in alunite vein and silicified zone of the Seongsan deposit, but depleted in dickite and altered rock with dickite. Gold contents are especially concentrated in fault or conjunction area of two faults. (3) Gold contents are higher values in the mineral assemblages of alunite-quartz-pyrite and alteration zone of the Seongsan deposit among the studied deposits. (4) Gold contents in samples of silicified zones tend to show positive correlations with Ag, As, Co, Hg, Sb and V content, but negative correlations with Y and Zr contents, while on the other gold contents of silicified tuffs tend to show positive correlations with Hg and Sb contents. Therefore it is important to survey alunite vein and silicified zone at the conjunction of faults, and to analyze pathfinder elements such as Ag, As, Hg and Sb for geological and geochemical exploration of gold in the studied deposits.

The lead-zinc-silver-iron deposits from the Janggun mine are of hydrothermal-metasomatic origin, characterized by the marked hydrothermal alteration of the wallrocks, such as hydrothermal manganese enrichment of carbonate rocks, silicification, chloritization, sericitization, montmorillonitization and argillic alteration. The ore deposits have been emplaced within the Janggun Limestone of Cambro-Ordovician age at the immediate contacts with apophyses injected from the Chunyang Granite plutons of Late Jurrasic age. They have been structurally controlled by fractures in the carbonate rocks and the irregular intrusive contacts of granitic rocks, and are closely associated with hypogene manganese carbonate deposits. In the mine nine seperate orebodies are being mined. On the basis of the petrological study, hydrothermal alteration zone of this mine may be divided into the following four zones from wallrock to orebody. (I) Primary calcite and dolomite zone${\rightarrow}$(II) dolomitic limestone zone${\rightarrow}$(III) dolomitic zone${\rightarrow}$(IV) rhodochrosite zone${\rightarrow}$ orebody. There was not recongnized Mn and Fe elements in the primary calcite and dolomite zone. But, in the dolomitic limestone and dolomite zone, calcite and dolomite were subjected to weak hydrothermal manganese enrichment and the grade of the manganese enrichment increase oreward. By means of electron probe microanalysis, it was found that manganoan dolomite occured between primary dolomite grains, cross the cleavage of the primary dolomite and around the dolomite grains. Above these result supports that the Janggun manganese carbonate deposits are of hydrothermal metasomatic origin.

The Red Hill deposit of the Dongjom Copper Mine is the most promising deposit of the mine and under intensive exploration at present although there are eight more deposits of vein type. With total 2160m drilling of 9 holes completed and 400m drilling on two holes underway, the nature of the Red Hill deposit has come more clear. The copper content in the whole ore body is meager so far as the exploration done up to present indicates, but there are evidences that mineralization covers all over the granodiorite cupola at the Red Hill area. The petrological work and assay on the samples taken by the writers indicate that granodiorite rocks can be divided into fresh zone and alteration zone. Alteration zone consists of potassic and argillic zones accompanyied by silicification zone on basis of Lowell and Guilbert model Argillic zone has closely related with a mineralization in the Red Hill deposit. It has been cleared that the alteration acompanyied with the mineralization took place not only &long vertical fissures but also in the irregular lateral zone, the nature of which is unknown. Judging from the results of exploration and petrochemical study on the Red Hill deposit which is imbedded in a southern part of the granodiorite cupola, it can be concluded by the writer's opinion that the Red Hill deposit is possibly a porphyry copper deposit, because the shape of the ore body, mineral zoning and paragenesis and wall rock alteration resemble to those of typical porphyry copper deposits. It is the writers' opinion that more exploration work is required so as to evaluate the deposit.

밀양납석광상의 지표시료와 시추시료의 광물조성과 화학조성 분석결과를 통하여 열수변질양상과 형성 환경을 연구하였다. 밀양납석광상의 열수변질대는 광물조합을 근거로 주로 엽납석-딕카이트(석영) 광물조합을 가지며 납석광체에 해당하는 강이질변질대와 견운모-석영-딕카이트를 주로 수반하는 필릭변질대 및 녹니석-석영이 주된 광물조합으로 수반되는 프로필라이트변질대 등 세 가지로 구분된다. 지표 및 시추시료의 수평적 수직적 변질양상 및 지화학적 특성을 통하여 연구지역 내 납석광체는 수차례의 열수변질작용을 통하여 형성되었으며, 현재 채광이 이루어지고 있는 지표광체로부터 남쪽-남동쪽 심부에 이르기까지 대규모로 연장되어 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 납석광체의 광물조합 및 엽납석의 다구조형(2M) 등을 통하여 밀양납석광상의 형성온도는 약 $300-350^{\circ}C$ 내외일 것으로 추측된다.
