Copper, nickel and minor PGE bearing mafic-ultramafic bodies (consisting mainly of olivine-hornblende pyroxenite and hornblende gabbro), intruded in Mesoproterozoic metavolcanic rocks and schists. The deposit is mined for nickel since 1986.

Located in the northeastern part of the Gaojiacun mafic-ultramafic complex, about 30 km north of Panzhihua.
