Ring complex with a dieameter of almost 10km, the most northerly part of which is missing.

Most composite, radioactive veins of pegmatite, aplite and silexite which are abundant in dioritic rocks in the NE contact area of the complex consist of aegirine-bearing granite and locally show extreme enrichment in Be (>1000ppm), Nb (>2000ppm), Sn (up to 1000ppm), REEs (La>1000ppm), Y (>2000ppm), Th (>5000ppm), Zn (up to 7000ppm), Pb (up to 5000ppm) and Mo (>2000ppm) (Jackson et al 1985).
