One of the most important tungsten deposits in northwest China, located in the western part of the Hongshishan-Heiyingshan terrane, within the Kazakhstan plate. Tungsten mineralization occurs mainly as topaz-quartz veins within Early Carboniferous rhyolite tuff and rhyodacite of the Baishan Formation, and partly in monzogranite stocks as massive greisen blocks and stratoid layers.
