The Nannihu ore district has measured reserves of Mo metal in excess of 2,087,648 t. The Sandaozhuang, Nannihu and Shangfanggou deposits have a combined resource of 746,300 t of Mo metal, with an average grade of 0.109 g/t, 652,548 tonnes at 0.06 g/t and 715,800 tonnes at 0.134 g/t, respectively. Moreover, there is also a large W reserve at Sandaozhuang with 641,794 t of WO3 at an average grade of 0.112%; the Nannihu deposit holds 86,668 t at an average grade of 0.081%.
Sandaozhuang and Nannihu are traditionally described as two distinct deposits. This is because they were explored in two stages. In fact, they constitute a single natural orebody located in the exo- and endo-contact of the Nannihu granite stock.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Jurassic : 156 ± 8 Ma to 146 ± 5 Ma

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.
