Ores and Fluid Inclusions from South Ore Deposits of the Dunjeon Gold Mine

둔전금광산(屯田金鑛山) 남광상(南鑛床)의 광석(鑛石)과 유체포유물(流體包有物)

The south ore deposits of the Dunjeon gold mine is a fissure-filling vein emplaced in the granitoids, skarnized and hornfelsified rocks of Ordovician Dumudong formation. The vein mineral paragenesis is complicated by repeated fracturing but three distinct depositional stages can be recognized; (1) base metal sulfides stage, (2) base metal sulfides, antimony-bismuthsulfosalts and native metals stage, (3) barren carbonates stage. Gold was mainly deposited in stage II. Fluid inclusion data indicate that fluid temperatures were from $310^{\circ}C$ to $402^{\circ}C$ during stage I and then declined steadily to $148^{\circ}C$ in the closing late stage III. Salinities were in the range of 0.4 to 5.0 equivalent weight percent NaCl and do not reveals any systematic trend through stag I, II and III. Ore mineralogy suggests that temperatures and sulfur fugacities in the earlier stage II were in the range of $340^{\circ}C$ to $360^{\circ}C$, $10^{-8}$ to $10^{-9}$ atm. respectively and then declined steadily to the range of $185^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-17}$ to $10^{-19}$atm. in the later stage II.
