Eastern rim of Tichka massif.
Mineralized quartz lenses in Cambrian volcano-detritic series.
The mineralization is related to the intrusion of Tichka granitic pluton.

Main mineralization: pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, pyrite.
Late stage in cracks: gold, bismuthinite, joséite, maldonite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, gold-bismuth-lead sulphide and other bismuth-lead sulphides and sulpho-tellurides.
