The primary mineable coal seam is the B1 seam, which is located in the Xishanyao Formation (J2x) of the Middle Jurassic, with an altitude of 260°∠11Β°. The average thickness of the coal seam at the mining points is 61 m, with certain areas reaching thicknesses exceeding 70 m. The overlying rock of the coal seams primarily consists of sandstone, carbonaceous mudstone, siltstone and mudstone. The underlying rock is predominantly composed of fine sandstone, carbonaceous mudstone, carbonaceous sandstone and sandstone. The gangue mainly consists of high-carbon mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone, as well as sporadic occurrences of pyrite and calcite. The depositional environment of the Xishanyao Formation is characterized as a shallow lake–marsh environment.
