A zoned complex within the Koryak-Kamchatka Platinum Belt.
Between the Snegovaya and Vatyna rivers.
The complex has:
- western part: largest, to the west of the Snegovaya river
- central and eastern parts: much smaller, N / NW of the Vatyna river
Cores of these sub-parts are dunite surrounded by clinopyroxenite, then (largely in the western part, but lacking in the eastern part) wehrlite, with minor gabbroic zone in the rim. These oval/rounded complexes are embedded within Upper Cretaceous volcanic/sedimentary formations.
Note: coordinates are set to the easternmost part of the Western complex.
