Lead- and zinc-bearing skarn ore bodies, occurring in the contact zone between an Oligocene granite and Late Triassic-Jurassic carbonate rocks.
The deposit area comprises four mineralized zones, Dailanar, Darra-i-Nur (sensu stricto), Dyke 41 and Yakhata-Khum (Yakata-Khum).
Reserves are estimated at 400,000 tons of ore grading at 12% Zn/Pb.
The deposit was mined in the past at a small scale.
