Associated with the strata of the Altyn Group, which are dominated by migmatitic gneiss intercalated with dolomite marble. The strata exhibit a NE strike and dip angles of 80°–85Β°; they are 300–500 m long and 2–10 m wide. Normal faults distributed in the contact zone between migmatitic gneiss and dolomitic marble are closely related to mineralization.
