The Ulziit Gol is a river in a prominent gold district and hosts significant alluvial gold deposits. These alluvial deposits also contain PGE and other heavy minerals from the nearby Bayankhongor ophiolite belt. In addition to gold, the heavy mineral assemblage contains chromite, magnetite, and ilmenite, indicating derivation from ophiolitic bodies.
