Contact metasomatic‐type mineralization occurs on the contact of the flysch series and andesites.

The Janjevo As-Sb-Tl-Pb ± Hg ± Au mineralization is hosted by Upper Triassic metamorphosed calcareous sedimentary units. Marbles are composed mainly of calcite, with minor dolomite, quartz, and pyrite. Calcite marbles have laminations, brecciations and elevated amounts of pyrite are observed locally. In addition, zones containing organic matter are observed, which directly links to the presence of stylolites in metacarbonate rocks. These zones were preferentially accessed by migrating fluids. The marbles are bounded on the west and east by schists. In addition, one of the main regional NW-SE faults occurs near Hajvalia-Badovc Tectonic Zone.
