Hyogo Prefecture has been known as one of prominent prefectures for metallic and nonmetallic
mineral resources in Japan. There are variety of types of (1) metallic deposits and (2)
non-metallic deposits in Hyogo Prefecture as shown below:
(1) metallic deposits: polymetallic (Cu ・ Zn ・ Pb) vein deposits, Zn ・ Pb skarn deposits, bedded
cupriferous pyrite deposits (Kieslager deposits), Au-Ag vein deposits, Ni deposits, podiform
Cr deposits, bedded Mn deposits, Mo deposits and Fe skarn deposits, and
(2) non-metallic deposits: strata-bound brick-silic astone (Keiseki) deposits, talc deposits,
feldspar deposits, pottery stone (Toseki) deposits, and Roseki (pyrophyllite-, kaolin-, or
sericite-clay )deposits.
Especially, the Ikuno and Akenobe mining region has been famous as one of the largest and
significant metallogenic regions in Japan and the large-scale Sn-W-bearing polymetallic vein deposits
has been mined for copper, zinc, lead and tin. In this paper, location and type of ore deposit,
geological setting, host rock of ore deposit, grade and constituent minerals of ore,
metallogenic period and history of mining are briefly reviewed and summarized for each metallic
and non-metallic mine in Hyogo Prefecture.
