Magmatic-Hydrothermal Processes of Vein-Type Haman-Gunbuk-Daejang Copper Deposits in the Gyeongnam Metallogenic Belt in South Korea

Haman, Gunbuk, and Daejang deposits are neighboring vein-type hydrothermal Cu deposits located in the SE part of the Korean Peninsula. These three deposits are formed by magmatic-hydrothermal activity associated with a series of Cretaceous granodioritic intrusions of the Jindong Granitoids, which ha...

Magmatic-Hydrothermal Processes of Vein-Type Haman-Gunbuk-Daejang Copper Deposits in the Gyeongnam Metallogenic Belt in South Korea
