Abstract

The Samkwang gold-silver deposits consist of gold-silver-bearing hydrothermal massive quartz veins which filled the fractures along fault shear (NE, NW) zones within Precambrian banded or granitic gneiss of Gyeonggi massif. Ore mineralization of this deposits occurred within a single stage of quartz vein which was formed by multiple episodes of fracturing and healing. Based on vein mineralogy and paragenesis, massive quartz veins are divided into two main paragenetic stages which are separated by a major faulting event. Main ore mineralization occurred at stage I. Wall-rock alteration from this deposits occur as mainly sericitization, chloritization, silicification and minor amounts of pyritization, carbonitization, propylitization and argillitization. Ore minerals are composed mainly of arsenopyrite (29.21-32.24 As atomic %), pyrite, sphalerite (6.45-13.82 FeS mole %), chalcopyrite, galena with minor amounts of pyrrhotite, marcasite, electmm (39.98-66.82 Au atomic %) and argentite. Systematic studies of fluid inclusions in early quartz veins and microcracks indicate two contrasting physical-chemical conditions: 1). temperature (215-345$^{\circ}$C) and pressure (1296-2022 bar) event with $H_{2}O-CO_{2}-CH_{4}-NaCl$fluids (0.8-6.3 wt. %) related to the early sulfide deposition, 2). temperature (203-441$^{\circ}$C) and pressure (320 bar) event with $H2_{O}$-NaCI $\pm$ $CO_{2}$ fluids (5.7-8.8 wt. %) related to the late sulfide and electrum assemblage. The H20-NaCI $\pm$ $CO_{2}$ fluids represent fluids evolved through fluid unmixing of an $H_{2}O-CO_{2}-CH_{4}-NaCl$fluids due to decreases in fluid pressure and influenced of deepcirculated meteoric waters possibly related to uplift and unloading of the mineralizing suites. Calculated sulfur isotope compositions (${\delta}^{34}S_{fluid}$) of hydrothermal fluids (1.8-4.9$\textperthousand$) indicate that ore sulfur was derived from an igneous source. Measured and calculated oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions (${\delta}^{18}O_{I120}$, ${\delta}D$) of ore fluids (-5.9~10.9$\textperthousand$, -102~-87$\textperthousand$) indicate that mesothermal auriferous fluids at Samkwang gold-silver deposits were likely mixtures of $H_{2}O$-rich, isotopically less evolved meteoric water and magmatic fluids.

삼광 금-은광상은 선캠브리아기 경기육괴의 호상 또는 화강편마암내에 발달된 단열대(NE,NW)을 따라 충진한 함금-은괴상석영맥광상이다. 이 광상의 광화작용은 여러번의 단열작용에 의해 형성된 동일시기의 석영맥으로 구성되어있다. 광석조직과 광석광물의 공생관계를 기초로 하여, 이 광산의 괴상석영맥은 2기의 광화시기가 관찰되며 주 광화시기는 광화I시기이다. 모암변질은 견운모화작용, 녹니석화작용, 규화작용이 우세하며 황철석화작용, 탄산염화작용, 프로필라이트화작용 및 점토화작용이 관찰된다. 광석광물은 주로 유비철석(29.21-32.24 As atomic %), 황철석, 섬아연석(6.45-13.82 FeS mole %), 황동석, 방연석과 소량의 자류철석, 백철석, 에렉트럼(39.98-66.82 Au atomic %) 및 함은석이다. 유체포유물의 체계적 연구에 의하면, 물리-화학적 상태가 상반되는 2가지의 유체가 관찰된다 : 1). 광화I시기 조기 황화광물 정출과 관련된 $H_{2}O-CO_{2}-CH_{4}-NaCl$ 유체(온도 :215-345$^{\circ}C$, 압력 :1296-2022 bar, 염농도 0.8-6.3 wt. %), 2).광화I시기 말기 황화광물 및 에렉트림과 관련된 $H_2O$-NaCL$\pm$CO2유체(온도 :203-441$^{\circ}C$, 압력:330 bar 염농도 :5.7-8.8 wt. %). H$_{2}$O-NaCL$\pm$$CO_2$ 유체는 광화작용이 진행됨에 따라 유체압력의 감소에 의하여 $H_{2}O-CO_{2}-CH_{4}-NaCl$ 유체의 불혼화와 순환수의 혼합에 의하여 진화된 유체이다. 열수용액의 ${\delta}^{34} {S}_{fluid}$값이 1.8-4.9$\textperthousand$로서 황의 기원은 화성기원을 지시한다. 산소(${\delta}^{18}O_{H2O}$)와 수소(${\delta}$D)안정동위원소값이 각각 -5.g-10.9$\textperthousand$, -lO2~-87$\textperthousand$로서 삼광금-은광상의 광화유체는 마그마유체로부터 계속적인 고순환수의 혼입이 있었던 것으로 생각된다.
