The most significant iron mineralization in this district. Iron oxide mineralization occurs in lenticular orebodies, ranging from 100 to 700 m in length and 10 to 15 m in thickness. These orebodies exhibit a northwest–southeast trend, with a dip of approximately 40 to 50 degrees toward the northeast. The mineralized dolomites and schists are thrust over the metamorphosed volcanic-sedimentary sequences of the late Triassic-early Jurassic, by a northwestern–southeastern trending reverse fault that dips towards the northeast.
