A total of 12 pegmatite veins were found in the area, with sample numbers L6~L21. The Hercynian two-mica granite (potassium feldspar granite) is exposed in the area, and is only partially covered by Quaternary residual slope accumulation and alluvial deposits. The Beiyesamas pegmatite veins are mainly distributed in the contact zone between coarse-grained, porphyritic two-mica granite and medium-grained two-mica granite, with medium-fine grained structure as the main structure.
The Bieyesamas two-mica monzogranite extends in the NWW direction and occurs as a batholith, with outcrops covering an area of more than 1000 km2. It can be divided into an inner medium-coarse-grained and an outward medium-fine-grained lithofacies belt. However, these two lithofacies belts are not separated by a distinct boundary but show a gradual transition. Large numbers of rare metal-bearing granite pegmatite veins have developed in the Bieyesamas pluton, and most of them occur in the NW-SE direction.
