Mineralized cryptoexplosive breccia in the upper part of a granodiorite intrusion and quartz vein-style mineralization in its contact zone.
Reserves: 4.81 Mt @ 157 g/t Ag and 3.94 % Pb ± Zn.

This system encompasses porphyry Sn-Cu-Ag, hydrothermal vein Sn-Ag, and epithermal Ag. The verified resources amount to 0.35 Mt of Sn at a grade of 0.75 %, 727 Moz of Ag at 164 g/t, 0.9 Mt of Pb plus Zn at 4.8 %, 0.2 Mt of Sb at 0.32 %, 0.1 Mt of Cu at 0.2 % and 3839 t of Ga at 51 g/t. Porphyry-type alterations which encompass quartz-sericite-tourmaline-muscovite and epidote-chlorite-tourmaline, are respectively correlated with the disseminated-veinlet cassiterite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and tetrahedrite ore mineral assemblages, as well as low-grade disseminated cassiterite mineralization.

ⓘ Falkmanite
Formula: Pb3Sb2S6
Description: Electron microprobe analyses of several samples correspond to the average composition (Pb4.77Cu0.05Zn0.06Fe0.04)4.92Sb3.91S11.00 (Wang et al., 2014).
ⓘ 'Feldspar Group'
ⓘ Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
ⓘ 'Freibergite Subgroup'
Formula: (Ag6,[Ag6]4+)(Cu4 C2+2)Sb4S12S0-1
Description: Electron microprobe analyses by Wang et al. (2014) of all samples of the mineral they refer to as freibergite in the same paper have a fair excess of copper over silver and are thus only silver-rich tetrahedrites.
