Vein-type uranium deposit, hosted in fractured, strongly altered granite in the contact zone between the Daguzhai porphyritic two-mica granite and the Luobuli porphyritic biotite granite, both of which are of Yanshanian age and form part of the Taoshan granite complex. The deposit was discovered in the early 1960s, and mined from 1963 to 1985.
NOTE: In Chinese, "Liueryiqi" means "6217".
