The Tengumori deposit of the Kamaishi mine, Northeastern Japan, is a skarn-type copper ore deposit that devel ops near granitic intrusive rocks of Cretaceous age. Hydrothermal activity at the Tengumori deposit is divisible into three stages: 1) calc-silicate (divisible into clinopyroxene and garnet phases), 2) ore mineralization (chalcopyrite+pyrrhotite+ quartz), and 3) calcite. The ƒÂ18O (SMOW) values were determined to be: +6.6to +7.8•ñ for clinopyroxene (calc-silicate stage, 7 samples), +4.2 to +7.0•ñ for garnet (calc-silicate stage, 14 samples), +12.0 to +13.7•ñ for quartz (ore mineraliza tion stage, 13 samples), and +10.6 to +12.8•ñ for calcite (calcite stage, 19 samples). The oxygen isotopic temperatures calculated from the coexisting (but not contemporaneous) mineral pairs give consistent values of •`330-460•Ž. However, they are higher than both of the pressure-corrected homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions (•`180-330•Ž) and the uppermost temperature of stability of chalcopyrite and hexagonal pyrrhotite (325•Ž). This temperature discrepancy is the result of changing ƒÂ18OH2O value from •`+7 to +9•ñ in the cal-silicate stage, •`+2 to +7•ñ in the ore mineralization stage, and +1 to +5•ñ in the calcite stage. The ƒÂ18O values of the calc-silicate stage solution can be interpreted as the unexchanged magmatic water or water in equilibrium with the host rocks. The hydrothermal solution of the ore mineralization stage is either magmatic water partially reequilibrated with the cooling pluton, water in equilibrium with the country rocks, or mixed solution with externally-derived water, e.g., local meteoric water. The ƒÂ13C (PDB) values of calcite crystals (calcite stage) range from -5.44 to -0.37•ñ. The calculated ƒÂ13CH2CO3 values of the hydrothermal solution range from -5.8 to +1.4•ñ and suggest that carbon was derived from both the granitic magma and the host limestone. Contributions of magmatic fluids to the calcite stage solution were recognized from the high salinity values (up to 23 wt. % equivalent NaCl) and the ƒÂ13C values of the calcite crystals.
