The primary vein trends N85° W and dips 35° SW, while the host limestone layers trend N60° W with dips of 60–70° NE. The ore vein is unconformable to the limestone bedding and exhibits a reverse dip. The vein thickness ranges from 50 cm to 2.5 m. Notably, substantial limestone breccias occur within the ore vein, likely formed during faulting events. A second vein, trending N70° W and dipping 85–89° NE, is also vein-type in nature and has a thickness of 30 cm to 1.0 m. The third vein trends N85° E/85° NW and has a thickness of approximately 20 cm. This vein contains significant amounts of calcite in addition to barite.
