Abstract

The epithermal gold and base metal deposit of the Tanggeung district of West Java consists of four major veins(Celak, Cigodobras, Cilangkap and Pasirbedil) with NS to N10$^{\circ}$∼20$^{\circ}$E and N75$^{\circ}$W strikes. The veins occur within fractures cutting the crystal and lithic tuff of Jampang Formation(Oligo-Miocene) in and around the Mt. Subang of the western Java, Indonesia. The ore mineralization is characterized by the occurrence of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and small amounts of bornite and Fe-oxides. Hydrothermal alteration, associated with the mineralization, was dominantly silicified and enveloped by the phyllitic(sericitic), argillic and propylitic alteration containing the disseminated pyrite. Gangue minerals consist of interstratified smectite-illite, chlorite, sericite, and minor kaolinite. The presence of vapor-rich fluid inclusions in quartz veins suggests that boiling occurred locally throughout ore deposition. Fluid inclusion studies suggest that the ore fluid evolved from initial high temperatures(〓34$0^{\circ}C$) to later lower temperatures(〓19$0^{\circ}C$). Salinities range from 0.0 to 8.3 wt percent NaCl equiv. The relatively high increase in salinity(up to 8.3 wt percent NaCl equiv) might be explained by a local boiling and by a participation of magmatic fluids, supported by the sulfur isotope results. Evidence of fluid boiling suggests that the pressure decreased from 200 bars to 120 bars. This corresponds to the depths of approximately 750 to 1,200 m in a hydrothermal system that changed from lithostatic to hydrostatic conditions. Using homogenization temperatures and paragenetic constraints, the calculated $\delta$$^{34}$ S values of $H_2S$ in ore fluid are -0.2 to 1.8 permil close to the 0 permil isotopic value of magmatic sulfur.

인도네시아 반둥시(Bandung)의 남서부에 위치하는 땅긍(Tanggueng)지역의 금 및 비철금속(base-metal)의 광화작용은 Jampang Formation(올리고신-마이오신)의 결정질 및 암편질 응회암의 열극을 충진한 천열수성 맥상광체로 Celak, Cilangkap, Cigodobras 및 Pasirbedil 등의 주요 4개 석영맥으로 구성된다. 주요 광석광물로는 황철석, 황동석, 섬아연석, 방연석 및 반동석 등이 산출된다. 광화작용과 관련된 열수변질작용은 규화작용이 지배적이며, 견운모화(phyllic), 점토화(argillic) 및 산점상의 황철석을 포함하는 프로필리틱화작용(Propylitic)이 관찰된다. 관찰되는 맥석광물은 스멕타이트-일라이트의 혼합층광물, 녹니석, 견운모 및 카올리나이트 등이다. 광석광물의 침전은 0.0∼8.3 wt.%의 상당염농도를 갖는 광화유체로부터 약 34$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 19$0^{\circ}C$에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 상대적인 고염농도의 유체는 (1)기상 유체포유물의 존재로부터 확인된 비등현상과 (2)황동위원소연구 결과로부터 열수 유체내 마그마 유체의 혼합으로 기인된 것으로 사료된다. 광화작용시의 압력은 약 120∼200 bar로 추정되며, 이는 열수계가 정암압에서 정수압 환경으로 전이되었음을 지시하여 주고 광화심도가 약 750∼1,200 m에 해당됨을 나타낸다. 유체포유물의 균질화온도와 공생관계로부터 추정된 온도를 적용하여 계산된 열수 유체내 $H_2S$${\gamma}^{34}$값은 -0.2∼l.8$\textperthousand$로서, 이는 광화유체내 황의 기원이 마그마임을 지시한다.
