Abstract

Prospecting for energy and mineral resources is essential kind of public fundamentals that manage the nation's economy. Most explorations in the past were concentrated in the simple structural traps in relatively shallow depth. Due to their vast exploitation, recent history has shown that the emphasis in explorations has steadily shifted toward the subtle stratigraphic traps in deeper level. Increasing exploration for the subtle stratigraphic traps in deeper level requires precise correlation and assessment of deeply buried strata in the basin. However, the descriptive strati-graphic principles used for evaluation of the simple structural traps are limited to delineate the subtle stratigraphic traps in deeper depth. As this occurs. it is imperative to establish a new stratigraphic paradigm that allows a more sophisticated understanding on the basin stratigraphy. This study provides an exemplary application of integrated stratigraphic approach to defining basin history of the Middle Ordovician Taebacksan Basin, Korea. The integrated stratigraphic approach gives much better insight to unravel the stratigraphic response to tectonic evolution of the basins, which can be utilized fer enhancing the efficiency of resources exploration and development in the basins. Thus, the integrated stratigraphic approach should be emphasized as a new stratigraphic norm that can improve the probability of success in any type of resources exploration and development project.

자원의 탐사는 국가경영에 있어서 절대적으로 필요한 공공의 기반산업에 해당된다. 지금까지 수행되어 왔던 자원 탐사사업의 대부분은 비교적 개발이 용이한 천부 광상들에 집중되어 왔으며, 천부 광상들의 과도한 개발로 인하여 자원탐사의 범위가 점차 심부화 되고있는 실정이다. 지하 심부에 분포하는 광상들을 효율적으로 탐사해 내기 위해서는 분지 내 심부 퇴적층들에 대한 정밀한 대비와 평가가 요구된다. 그러나, 그 동안 천부 광상들의 평가에 적용되어 왔던 기재적 층서 원리들로는 심부에 분포하는 광상들을 노출해 내는데 한계가 있어 왔다. 따라서, 분지 내 퇴적층들에 대한 보다 명확한 이해를 위해 새로운 고해상도의 층서틀 수립이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 태백산분지 오오도비스 중기퇴적층들에 대한 통합 층서적 접근을 통하여 고해상도 층서틀 수립에 대한 예를 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 통합 층서적 접근은 퇴적 분지의 지체구조적 진화에 따른 층서를 규명하는데 있어서 보다 나은 통찰을 제공하고 있으며, 아울러 분지 내 비금속 및 금속 광물자원 탐사 및 개발사업의 효율성을 증대 시키는데 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 통합 층서적 접근을 통한 퇴적층들에 대한 고해상도 층서틀 수립은 분지 내에 부존 되어 있는 모든 형태의 자원 탐사 덴 개발사업에 있어서 성공률을 극대화 시킬 수 있는 새초운 층서적 규범으로 강조되어져야 한다.
