To investigate deep conglomerate properties, a deep boring of the depth of 600 m and a series of laboratory rock tests were performed. And we especially took notice of the calcite content considered a large influence on mechanical properties of conglomerate. A quantity measuring of the calcite content was tried to research relationships between the calcite content and mechanical properties of conglomerate. These results led to the conclusion that it was clear that laboratory test results of deep sedimentary conglomerate were able to be evaluated by considering the calcite content and the influence of looseness by stress release on conglomerate core samples.
