Abstract

Abstract Based onthe characteristics of Carlin-type gold deposit in Nevada district, a potential in Korea is evaluated to the Yemi area where is structurally controlled by folds and trust fault. The fault of high angles are combined with a more permeable rocks such as the Yemi breccia and laminated silty limestone. The pattern of enrichment factors for Tl, Sb, As, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mo and W of limestones in the southern area are geochemically similar with those reported from the Carlin-type Bold deposit. Moreover, the oxygen and carbon isotopes show a hydrothermal alteration is widely developed in this area. According to the result of geophysical interpretation, stable isotope, alteration mineralogy, geochemical study, and geological structure, this mineralized zone may be extended to the M direction, so a detailed systematic exploration is required to identify this alteration zone.

미국 네바다주의 칼린형 금광상을 모델로 강원도 예미지역에 대한 칼린형 금광상의 잠재력을 평가하였다 연구지역에 분포하는 고생대 퇴적암은 스러스트 단층 및 습곡으로 구성된 뚜렷한 구조적 규제를 받았으며, 고각의 단층과 투수성이 큰 예미각력암 및 호층의 석회질 이암층이 결합되어 있다. 남부 지역에 분포하는 석회암에 대한 탈륨, 안티몬, 비소, 은, 납, 아연, 구리, 몰리브덴 및 텅스텐에 대한 원소부화도의 분포 양상은 칼린형 금광상과 지구화학적 유사성을 나타낸다. 또한, 탄소와 산소동위원소 값은 이들 지역이 광역적으로 열수의 영향을 받았음을 지시한다. 연구지역에 대한 지질구조, 화학분석, 변질광물 감정 및 안정 동위원소 분석 및 지구물리학적 해석 견과, 광화대는 북동부 방향으로 연장될 가능성이 높으며 이를 확인하기 위해서 앞으로 체계적인 정밀탐사가 필요하다.
