Skarn-type tin-iron deposit, occurring in the contact zone between carbonate rocks of the Early Permian Dashizai and Huanggangliang formations and a Cretaceous plagioclase granite intrusion (K-Ar isotopic age: 67-115 Ma). The ore bodies concentrate in two NE-trending belts at a transverse distance of 150-250m. At the contact, garnet diopside skarn and garnet amphibole biotite skarn are intensively developed. The ore minerals occur in masses, breccias, veinlets, and disseminations. Farther away from the contact, small veins occur in intraformational fissures in the skarn bodies. Late-stage sulphide minerals, amphibole, and epidote replace the skarn and early magnetite.

The deposit is genetically related to the Anle deposit, which occurs in the contact aureole of the same intrusion. They form part of an ore belt along a major EW-trending fault zone, which also includes several skarn-type deposits that show a mineral association similar to Huanggang (e.g. Sumugou and Hujiadian).

The deposit is known for excellent and large (up to 20 cm) ilvaite crystals that came on the market around 2010. The locality is often erroneously given as "Baotou District" (Ottens, 2011).
