The largest known intrusion of peralkaline granites.
Extends over 1500km². It is emplaced into Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks and consists of 2 roughly circular overlapping intrusions, of which the western one is substantially larger.

About 15 occurrences of mineralization rich in rare metals, including Nb, Zr, and REEs have been identified (Vladykin 2013).

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
