    | Volcanic-hosted
    feature is shown in the occurrence. A
            typical Kuroko deposits are underlain
    by extensive acidic volcanics where the
            feeder stockwork or veins exist
            in
    the strongly silicified part of the volcanics.

            |  | Yellow ore is characterized by
    Pyrite-Chalcopyrite assemblage. |  
 | 
  
   
    | 
 |  
    | Black Ore is
    mainly composed of sphalerite and Galena with subordinate amounts of
    Chalcopyrite, Tetrahedrite and gold and silver minerals.  |  
 
 
 
      
   
            |  Strata-bound evidences are shown in the stratigraphic
            position where the
    typical Kuroko deposit is hosted within
            the unit of distinctive
    volcano-sedimentary sequence which is
            constituted of the footwall dacite
    lava and the pyroclastics and the hangingwall
            mudstone intercalated in
    pumice to lapilli tuff. |

            |  Massive sulfide and sulfate
    ore bodies are comprised of proximal
            and distal types. Strictly speaking,
    the term of massive sulfide should be
            used only for the proximal ore
            ,
    because the distal ore has much sedimentary
            features such as size grading
    of ore and alternative banding of ore
            seam and mudstone.  |

            |  | Siliceous black ore is also composed of
    sphalerite and galena. The ore is located
            in the footwall unit as a
    disseminated or stockwork type which
            is usually distributed in the
    peripheral part of a unit ore body. |

    | 
 |  
    | Siliceous Yellow ore is economically
    same mineral composition , but different
            mode of occurrence to the yellow
    ore. Ordinary disseminated to stockwork
            sometimes vein or veinlets ore is
    observed in the footwall rocks directly
            under the massive sulfide.  |  
 
      
 
 
 
 
       
        
          
            | Polymetallic feature is characterized by many kinds of
            constituent minerals; sphalerite, galena,
            chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with subordinate
            amounts of tetrahedrite and Ag-minerals with
            much useful minor or rare metals as impurity
            such as Antimony, Thallium, Gallium and so
            on. |  |
