A Mo ore deposit. The ore mineralization is located in a tubular body comprised of an inner, elliptical zone of polymictic eruption breccia and an outer zone of explosion breccia containing fragments of the country-rock Paleozoic granitoids. The alumofluoride mineral association formed during the final stage of the ore-forming process.

A company website says "Zharchikhinskoye field is located 40 km south-west of Ulan-Ude, 2.5 km from the right bank of the river Selenga, in close proximity to the Ulan-Ude-Tarbagatai highway." The lat-long are estimated based on that description, with an uncertainty of about 10 km.
