고령토의 조직과 산출상태의 관찰결과 산화철 광물을 침전시킨 철의 주요 근원은 모암인 회장암에 함유된 각섬석과 녹니석이다. X선 회절 분석결과 침철석은 녹니석이 버미큘 라이트로 변질되고 각섬석이 용해되기 시작하는 하부 백색 광석에서 우세하며, 적철석은 각섬석, 녹니석 및 버미큘라이트가 심한 용탈작용을 받는 상부 적갈색 광석이나 열 개에서 침철석과 함께 산출된다. 침철석 및 적철석내 Fe에 대한 Al의 치환량은 각각 6~26 mol% 및 5~8mol%이며 이 두 값 사이에는 비례 관계가 있다. 회절선폭의 크기로부터 계산된 침철석과 적철석의 평균 입자크기는 340$\AA$ 이하이며 침철석은 약간의 침상을 보이는 반면 적철석은 탁상이다. 전자현미경 관찰에 의하면 버미큘라이트와 수반되는 침철석은 침상 또는 성상이나 적갈색 광석에서는 그러한 특징이 작다. 적철석은 육각 또는 원형을 보이나 상부 적갈색 광석에서는 보다 불？칙한 모양이다. 적철석과 침철석의 광물학적 특성을 합성실험에서 보고된 결과들과 비교하여 성인적 측면에서 논의되었다. 이 지역에서는 침철석과 적철석의 생성에 적합한 기후조건들이 중첩된 것으로 생각된다.

It is reported that Li-bearing minerals regarding as a promising battery industrial commodity occur in the Mogok metamorphic belt, Myanmar. Preliminary considerations on the mineralization of pegmatite occurrences within Mogok metamorphic belt such as Singu, Mogok and Momeik are as follows. In Singu area, lepidolite and rubellite occur together (Letpanhla No. 2 & 7 pegmatite) while rubellite only occur (Letpanhla No. 4 pegmatite). In Mogok area, lepidolite and rubellite occur together (Sakangyi pegmatite). In Momeik area, lepidolite and rubellite occur together (Pheyeou pegmatite) while rubellite only occur (Khetchel Ywar Thit pegmatite). In the future, it is estimated that it is necessary to implement the detailed exploration for the resource evaluation of lithium-bearing mineral targeted for the pegmatite of Mogok metamorphic belt.

예산-공주-청양 지역에는 여러 큰 규모의 활석 광상이 분포한다. 이 지역에서 산출되는 활석 광석은 초염기성암 기원의 사문암이 열수변질작용을 받아서 주로 생성된 것으로알려져 있으며 녹니석, 운모, 각섬석 등의 규산염 광물들은 불순물로 다량 함유하고 있다. 활성 광석에 포함되어 있는 이들 함철규산염 광물들을 분리해 내고 활석 광석의 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 고구려배자력분리방법을 실험적으로 적용함으로써 활석 광석의 정제법을 강구하고자 하였다. 활석광석을 구성하고 있는 광물들의 자기적, 광물학적 특성을 토대로 하여 인공 혼합 표준 시료와 활석 광석 시료를 준비하고 이들을 대상으로 각각 실험하였다. 정제 실험 결과 고구배자력분리기를 통과한 정광의 경우 활석의 양이 증가하였고 다른 불순광물들의 양은 현저히 감소하였으며 활석 광석의 백색도에 있어서는 대흥광산의 원광석의 경우 60.6에서 65.5로, 평안광산의 경우 61.6에서 65.0으로, 신양광산의 경우 71.2에서 74.5로 향상되었다.

New occurrences of large-scaled Zn-Pb deposits are recently found in the Danjang-myeon, Milyang. They are skarn-type deposits which replaced the intercalated limestone beds in the Jeonggaksan Formation. This study aims at characterizing occurrences, mineralogy, and chemistry of Zn-Pb ores and skarn minerals. Skarn orebodies are mainly found in 3 areas, named Gukjeon-ri, Gorye-ri, and Gucheon-ri orebodies, where sphalerite found as main ore mineral in 200-300 m in height and amount of galena increases as altitude does. Ores are dark grey to dark green in color and closely related with clinopyroxene zone. They occur with hedenbergite, grossular, actinolite, epidote, and small amounts of axinite, calcite, and quartz. Main ore mineral is sphalerite which includes tiny spotted grains of galena and chalcopyrite and becomes rich in grade in association with clinopyroxene and epidote. FeS contents in sphalerite show relatively wide range between 1.53 and 23.07 mole%, whose contents intend to increase towards biotite granite known as ore-related igneous rocks. CdS contents are in the range of 0.22-0.93 mole%, showing decrease tendency from southwest (Gukjeon-ri) to northeast (Gucheon-ri). Zn-Pb deposits developed in Danjang-myeon reveal decrease in temperature with increase of altitude, leading to gradual changes in compositions of ore and skarn minerals.

Some groundwater in Korea contains high U concentrations, especially where two-mica granite occurs in the Daejeon area. The elemental U in the two-mica granite is lower than that in normal granites elsewhere in the world, and U-minerals have yet to be reported in the two-mica granite in the Daejeon area. This study focuses on investigating the occurrence of U-minerals serving as the U source in groundwater. In situ gamma ray spectrometry and mineralogical analyses using EPMA were performed. U-count anomalies were identified in a granitic dyke and in hydrothermally altered granite. Uraniferous granitic dykes occur along the contact zone between the two-mica granite and mica-schist. The uraniferous parts within the two-mica granite are developed in the hydrothermally altered zone, which contains numerous quartz veinlets within a fracture zone. Hydrothermal alteration is dominated by potassic and prophylitic alteration. Uraninite is a common U-mineral in granitic dykes and hydrothermally altered granite. Coffinite and uranophane occur in the hydrothermally altered granite. All of these U-minerals are commonly accompanied by hydrothermal alteration minerals such as muscovite, chlorite, epidote, and calcite. It is concluded that granitic dyke and hydrothermally altered granite are the main source rocks of U in groundwater.

The annual borate production in Turkey is about 3 million tons, which occupies approximately 61 percent of total annual world production. Turkey has five boron deposits including Bigadic, Emet, Kestelek, Kirka, and Sultancayir. At present, Bigadic, Emet, and Kirka deposits are operating. Kirka boron deposit is distributed within volcanoclatic sedimentary group as mainly layered, rarely brecciated and massive types. Major borate is borax associated with colemanite and ulexite. They show a horizontal symmetrical zonation from Na borate (borax) in the center of deposit to Na-Ca borate (ulexite) and Ca-borate (colemanite) in margin. Bigadic boron deposit is known as the largest colemanite deposit in the world. This deposit occurs as two borate bearing horizons in Miocene volcanoclastic sedimentary group. Thickness ranges from several meters to 100 meter with a length of several hundreds meters. Borate ore bodies which are mainly composed of colemanite and ulexite are alternated with claystone, mudstone, tuff and layered limestone as lenticular shape. Sultancayir boron deposit is mainly distributed within gray limestone. Main borate minerals of this deposit are pandermite and ulexite. Pandermite and ulexite occur as colloform aggregate and small veinlet, respectively. Turkish boron deposits are evaporite deposit which were formed in Miocene playa-lake environment. Boron was supplied to the deposits by the volcanic and hydrothermal activities.
