Skarn-type Cu deposit, occurring at the interface between pelites and marble of the upper Cretaceous Bima Formation near the contact with a coarse-grained, feldspar porphyric hornblende granodiorite. The skarn is cut by EW-striking porphyry-style quartz-chalcopyrite veins, surrounded by inner albitic or biotite and outer sericitic and argillic alterations.
