The Longshoushan ore zone is 180 km long and up to 20 km wide, and coincides more or less with the NW-SE-trending Longshoushan fold belt at the southwestern margin of the Precambrian Alashan Block (Alxa Block). Uranium deposits in this area are either of intrusive type or vein type. The former are predominant in the western part of the zone, the latter in its eastern part.
