The Sancheong district, located in the southeastern Yeongnam Massif, comprises basement rocks of the Precambrian Jirisan metamorphic complex in the southwest, an anorthosite complex in the northwestern to south central part of the district, and the Mesozoic granitoids in the central to eastern parts of the district. The eastern margin of the Precambrian Jirisan metamorphic complex (ca. 1880–1920 Ma) was intruded by the Sancheong-Hadong anorthosite complex (ca. 1862–1872), which has a north-south orientation, and the Paleoproterozoic anorthosite complex was intruded by Mesozoic plutons (e.g., foliated: 205–230 Ma, 180–200 Ma, non-foliated: 170–180 Ma) comprising gabbro, granodiorite, foliated granitoids, and syenite in the east.
