The thickness of the ore body is strictly controlled by fault, about 3 to 125 m in width, with an average thickness of approximately 0.30 m, indicating a relatively small scale. The ore minerals associated with beryllium mineralization are beryl group minerals and bertrandite, hosted within the altered rocks of the fractured fault zones. Surrounding rock alterations, such as silicification, chloritization, and epidotization.
