Small polymetallic (Zn-Pb-Cu) massive sulfide deposit, dominated by pyrrhotite.

The mineralisation is of volcano-sedimentary origin (Besshi type).

The Koudiat Aïcha ore bodies consist presently of three subvertical parallel-to-subparallel lenses with a general N–S orientation, and the deposit is still expanding. The lateral N–S extent of the lenses ranges from 100 to 500 m, with a vertical extent ranging from 300 to at least 600 m and a thickness ranging from a few meters to ~20 m. Ore lenses are hosted in metasedimentary rocks comprising metamorphosed grey-to-black carbonaceous argillites with rhythmic intercalations of sandy argillite in sandstone layers (0.5–1 m thick) from the Sarhlef series, considered as the footwall to the west.
