Abstract
The Taebaeksan mineralized district, one of the large mining areas in Korea, includes various type of deposits such like the hydrothermal Au-Ag deposits, polymetallic W-Mo, Fe-Cu and/or Pb-Zn skarn deposits, replacement deposits and Carlin-like deposits. The deposits are mainly hosted by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and/or Precambrian gneiss. Mineralization age of hydrothermal Au-Ag mineralization show ca. 94-72 Ma, contemporaneous with the age of polymetallic deposits ca. 98-70 Ma. In particular, most of polymetallic deposits and several hydrothermal Au-Ag deposits in the district are spatially related to each others, coinciding with late Cretaceous Bulgugsa event (ca. 108-74 Ma) which is featured by the subvolcanic activity. Hydrothermal Au-Ag deposits in the area display multiple complex veins with abundance of Pb-Zn base-metal sulfides (up to 30% in ore) and a wide range of Ag/Au ratios. In particular, Au-dominant deposits such as the Samjo and Dunjeon deposits and polymetallic skarn deposits (e.g. the Geodo and Sangdong deposits) would be spatially related to subvolcanic granitoid stocks, showing proximal-type environment. Proximal-type deposits have the relatively high formation temperature (ca. 410˚-200℃) from high saline hydrothermal fluids (< 52 wt. % NaCl). The ore-forming fluids of the proximal type likely originated in fluids less effected by meteoric waters, i,e., the relatively magmatic waters (calculike deposits.
