The Guslyakovskoye deposit, discovered in 1971, is located within the Beloubinsky synclinorium on the northeastern flank of the Guslyakovskaya syncline. The mineralization is hosted by the Uspenskaya suite, which consists mainly of acidic effusive-pyroclastic rocks (volcanics) interspersed with layers of siltstones, sandstones, and tuffites. In the ore zone, these rocks have been metamorphosed into sericite-quartz schists and quartzites. A significant portion of the area is also occupied by an upper Devonian intrusion of liparite quartz porphyries.
The ore bodies are complex in shape, characterized by "swells" (thickening) and "pinches" (thinning), and follow a nearly vertical dip consistent with the host rocks. They extend up to 400 meters along the strike and reach depths of 570 meters, with thicknesses varying from a few meters to 50 meters in the swells. The deposit is primarily lead-zinc dominated, with lead-zinc ores accounting for 70% of the total mineralization. While the deposit is classified as small-scale, it contains a diverse array of silver and rare minerals, with average grades including 0.7% lead, 2.3% zinc, and 15 g/t silver.
