The Tieluping ore field, comprising Shagou, Tieluping, and Haopinggou Ag-Pb-Zn deposits, is the largest silver mining area in western Henan Province, with controlled reserves of 4000 tons of silver metal and extremely high grade ore. The veins, extending along a large group of NE-trending fractures, are up to several kilometers long, several hundred meters deep and up to 5 meters thick.

The dominant lithologies are the lower Paleoproterozoic Taihua Group biotite-plagioclase gneiss, migmatized felsic to mafic gneiss, and amphibolite. The veins extend 500 to 3590 m along strike, and 140 to 1261 m down dip. The individual veins thickness changes from 0.3 m to 2 m, although locally these zones range up to 8 m in width. Individual veins contain more than one ore body, with high grade shoots separated by subeconomic or unmineralized segments.

The mineralization in the Xiayu orefield can be divided into four stages: siderite-pyrite-quartz-electrum ± magnetite (stage I Au mineralization), dark-brown sphalerite-siderite-quartz ± galena (stage II Zn mineralization), galena-tetrahedrite-chalcopyrite-silver minerals-ankerite-quartz ± light-brown sphalerite (stage III Pb(-Cu)-Ag mineralization), and ankerite-calcite-chalcedony-fluorite (stage IV post-ore alteration).

Over 300 Ag–polymetallic (Au–Zn–Pb) veins and local stockworks have been discovered in the Tieluping–Shagou mining district and can be divided into two groups according to their attitude; i.e., N- and NE-striking. Several veins are developed at the pre-existing contact between NE-trending gabbroic and dioritic dikes and the Taihua Group gneiss. The main veins extend for over 1000 m with an average width of ∼ 2 m. Quartz and carbonates are the main constituents of veins, whereas sulfide-rich domains occur primarily close to the walls of veins or in infilling microfractures.
The entire mineralization sequence for the mining district are classified into three distinct stages (stage 1, 2, and 3). Stage 1 mineralization comprises pyrite (PyAg), siderite, and quartz. Quartz occurs as coarse-grained aggregate in the central portion of the vein and presents as medium grain in the vein wall which is closely associated with pyrite (PyAg) crystals. PyAg commonly has xenomorphic to subhedral morphology and is intergrown with dirty quartz and siderite. Stage 2 consists of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, scheelite, and minor pyrite, with quartz and ankerite as gangue minerals. In addition, precious metal Ag-bearing minerals appear in this stage. Ore minerals of this stage postdate those of the stage 1, as indicated by sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite overgrowing and penetrating pyrite (PyAg) and siderite. Stage 3 marks the waning of hydrothermal activity and is characterized by the deposition of calcite and minor quartz and fluorite as veins or disseminations).

The deposits are being mined by Silvercorp Metals Inc. The mining permits cover an area of 71 km2 and include the whole Tieluping ore field.
