The four orebodies that make up the deposit are spatially controlled by the NE-trending F1 fault. The orebodies occur as veins or elongate lenses that are 180–3750 m long, 1.8–17.4 m wide and taper off at depth. Based on the crosscutting relationships of veins and mineral assemblages, the mineralization is divided into three stages — the altered granite–scheelite stage (Stage I), the quartz vein–scheelite stage (Stage II), and the quartz vein–sulfide stage (Stage III). Two types of scheelite occur in stages I and II — fine scheelite mainly within altered granite and coarse scheelite mainly in quartz veins.
