Located in the southeastern part of the Kempirsai massif.

Coordinates are for the village of Kempirsai

The largest podiform chromite deposits are located in the southeastern part of the Kempirsai ultramafic massif within the so-called Main Ore Field, where they yield two ore zones (western and eastern) and several ore clusters.
