Köppen climate type:
Quartz vein-type, greisen-type and altered granite-type tin ore bodies, hosted in Late Carboniferous granites.
The vein group of the Beilekuduke tin deposit is NE-trending; the length of a single vein is about 60 m, and the width is 1–5 m. Greisenization, potassic alteration, and kaolinization are observed, and the alteration has occurred on both sides of the ore body.
