Huanaote Ag-Pb-Zn deposit, contains 1173 tons Ag with a grade of 154 g/t. More than 60 major mineralized veins and/or lenticular orebodies have been identified, most of which are hosted within the contact zones between the Late Carboniferous monzogranite and Upper Devonian slate, and are mainly controlled by the NW-trending faults. Among them, No. I and II orebodies account for >90% of the total Ag reserves. These orebodies consist of several parallel sets of mineralized veins with thickness ranging from 1 to 20 m, and generally vary in length from 250 to 1200 m, strike NE and dip SE at 37° to 85°.

The No. 1-1 ore belt, extending approximately 1300 m, serves as the primary mining target. This belt exhibits undulating and swelling features in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, with pronounced branching and pinch-out structures. Some ore bodies display lenticular morphology. Varied mineralization styles have been found including vein − stockworks, banded, brecciated, disseminated and massive ores.

By the end of 2024, over 60 ore bodies have been identified including Pb-Zn, Pb-Zn-Ag, and subordinate Cu, Cu-Ag bodies with total indicative resource of Ag 1258t, Pb + Zn 163.4kt and Cu 7142t at average grade of Ag 138.95 g/t, Zn 2.40%, Pb 2.80% and Cu 0.67% respectively.
