Porphyry and skarn-type molybdenum-(tungsten) and skarn-type lead-zinc deposit. Nannihu is the second largest molybdenum deposit in China and has been mined since the 1970s. In the early 21st century, rich skarn-type lead-zinc ore bodies were discovered in the periphery of the molybdenum ore bodies.
