Abstract

The major Mo deposits in South Korea were formed during the Jurassic Daebo orogeny, the Late Cretaceous and the Tertiary post-orogenic igneous activities, and are characterized by a variety of genetic types such as pegmatite, greisen, skarn, porphyry and vein types. The Jangsu mine is a pegmatite-style deposit which is genetically related to the Jurassic ilmenite-series two-mica granite with the Mo mineralization age of $159.6{\pm}4.5$ Ma. The Geumseong mine occurs as a skarn/porphyry-style deposit associated with highly fractionated granite. Its age of Mo mineralization within aplitic cupola is about 96.5~l07.5 Ma. The Yeonil mine is a porphyry-style deposit, and the Geumeum mine is a veinlet-style deposit along the fracture zone with their mineralization ages of $58.4{\pm}1.6$ and $54.4{\pm}1.2$ Ma, respectively. The contrasts in the style of Mo mineralization in Korea reflect the different environment of the related magmatism. The Jurassic mineralization, being related to deep-seated granitoids, occurs as a pegmatite-style deposit, whereas the Cretaceous one, being related to subvolcanic granitoids, occurs as skarn/porphyry/vein-type ore deposits. The Tertiary Mo mineralization has a close relationship with the igneous activities associated with the Tertiary basin formation along the east coast, Korean peninsular.

국내 주요 몰리브덴 광상은 쥐라기 대보 조산운동기부터 후조산기인 백악기를 거쳐 제삼기까지 페그마이트형, 그라이센형, 스카른형, 반암형, 광맥형 광상과 같은 다양한 광상 유형으로 배태되고 있다. 장수 몰리브덴 광산은 쥐라기 티탄철석 계열 복운모 화강암과 관련된 페그마타이트 광상으로 배태되며, 광화 시기는 $159.6{\pm}4.5$ Ma이다. 금성 몰리브덴 광산은 분화가 매우 진행된 화강암과 관련된 스카른형/반암형 광상으로 큐폴라 광체의 광화시기는 96.5~107.5 Ma를 보이며, 황강리 광화대에 나타나는 후기 백악기 광화시기와 일치하고 있다. 연일 몰리브덴 광산은 반암형 광상으로 배태되고, 금음 몰리브덴 광산은 전단대를 따라 충진하는 석영 세맥으로 배태되며, 광화 시기는 각각 $58.4{\pm}1.6$ Ma과 $54.4{\pm}1.2$ Ma이다. 한국의 중생대 몰리브덴 광상은 조구조적 전화 특성에 따라 쥐라기에는 심부 화성활동을 반영한 페그마타이트질 맥상 광상으로 산출되는 반면, 백악기에는 천부 화성활동과 관련된 스카른형/반암형/광맥형 광상으로 배태된다. 특히 제삼기 몰리브덴 광화작용은 한반도 동해안을 따라 배태되는 제삼기 분지형성과 연계된 화성활동과 밀접한 관계를 보이고 있다.
