This cluster is located along the Vanch-Akbaital fault, which separates the Central and Northern Pamir terranes. It includes a group of siderite-sulphide vein deposits and occurrences in Jurassic to Cretaceous red sandstones and conglomerates. The mineralization shows a lateral zonation, passing from Ag-Sb into Cu-Ag-Hg-Sb and Sb-Hg compositions in the proximity of the fault. The ore cluster is distinguished by the presence of mercury minerals.
