Unmined Tl deposit (Tl-rich pyrite deposit).
Host rocks are Lower Ordovician micrite, calcilutite and marl within the Dalongwang Mountain - Xiao Mountain anticline. The ore zones are fold and fault controlled. Thallium occurs mainly in pyrite but there are also minor amounts of lorandite and hutchinsonite.
