Abstract

The Haman-Gunbuk mineralized area is located within the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Basin along the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. Major ore minerals, magnetite, scheelite, molybdenite and chalcopyrite, together with base-metal sulfides and minor sulfosalts, occur in fissure-filling tourmaline, quartz and carbonates veins contained within Cretaceous sedimentary and volcanic rocks anu/or granodiorite (118{\pm}$3.0 Ma). The ore and gangue mineral paragenesis can be divided into three distinct stages: Stage 1, tourmaline+quartz+Fe-Cu ore mineralization; Stage II, quartz+sulfides+sulfosalts+carbonates; Stage 111, barren calcite. Earliest fluids are recorded in stage I and early por-tions of stage II veins as hypersaline (35~70 equiv. wt.% NaCl+KCl) and vapor-rich inclusions which homogenize from ~30$0^{\circ}C$ to $\geq$50$0^{\circ}C$. The high-salinity fluids are complex chloride brines with significant concentrations of sodium, potassium, iron, copper, and sulfur, though sulfide minerals are not associated with the early mineral assemblage produced by this fluid. Later solutions circulated through newly formed fractures and reopened veins, and are recorded as lower-salinity(less than ~20 equiv. wt.% NaCl) fluid inclusions which homogenize primarily from ~200 to 40$0^{\circ}C$. The oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions of fluid in the Haman-Gunbuk hydrothermal system represents a progressive shift from magmatic-hydrothermal dominance during early mineralization stage toward meteoric-hydrothermal dominance during late mineralization stage. The earliest hydrothermal fiuids to circu-late within the granodiorite stock localiring the ore body at Haman-Gunbuk could have exsolved from the crystal-lizing magma and unmixed into hypersaline liquid and $H_2O$-NaCl vapor. As these magmatic fluids moved throughfractures, tourmaline and early Fe, W, Mo, Cu ore mineralization occurred without concomitant deposition of othersulfides and sulfosalts. Later solutions of dominantly meteoric origin progressively formed hypogene copper and base-metal sulfides, and sulfosalt mineralization.

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.
