Quartz vein type gold deposit, related to the Mesozoic Yanshanian Linglong granite that intrudes rocks of the Archean Jiaodong Group. The veins are typically 500-2000 m long and 2-15 m wide, and are controlled by secondary fractures of the Zhaoping fracture zone. Disseminated and stockwork-style mineralizations are common within the alteration halos of the faults. The deposit formed at temperatures from 150°C to 400°C and at pressures from 50 MPa to 100 MPa.

The deposit area is worked by two mines, Dongshan in the east and Xishan in the west, both of which are sub-divided into several ore blocks.
